Are your face and eyes swollen and puffy? In this video, we’re going to discuss why this happens and how to fix it. 

What causes puffy eyes and a swollen face?

It’s likely caused by edema. This means there is too much fluid in the body (inside and outside of the cells).

This extra fluid is not just in the face and eyes; it’s in the:

• Heart
• Liver
• Cells
• Ankles

This could happen if you’re on a low-protein diet, but this usually isn’t the problem.

There are two main types of edema:

• Idiopathic (unknown cause)
• Pathogenic (known cause like cirrhosis or diabetes) 

The real cause of this issue is a high carbohydrate diet. 

• The average American consumes an average of 250-400 grams of carbs (refined grains and sugar)
• Each gram of carb holds 3 grams of water 
• High carb diets create inflammation (which comes with fluid retention) 
• High carb diets cause you to retain salt (with that you’re holding more fluid)
• High carb diets deplete your potassium reserves (potassium helps get rid of fluid)

The simple fix to get rid of puffy eyes and a swollen face:

• Bring your carbs down below 50g (preferably 20g)
• Increase potassium foods (eat lots of veggies)
