is your face and eyes swollen and puffy

or do you know someone who has a swollen

face or a puffy eyes this is going to be

so easy to fix okay what we’re dealing

with is edema swelling it’s too much

fluid in the body the fluid is inside

the cells and it’s outside the cells in

the interstitial spaces which is the

space around the cells now I know about

this because I had it you can see this

in my earlier videos look at my eyes

swollen eyes puffy face now the problem

is this extra fluid is not just in the

face in the eyes it’s in the heart it’s

in the liver it’s in yourselves it’s in

your ankles you could press into the

ankle it leaves a little indentation

that’s called pitting edema sometimes in

the lower legs you can see it gives us

shiny appearance where the skin is just

bulging out okay and then you lose the

hair on the bottom of your your lower

legs now it could be because you’re on a

low protein diet when you actually go

too low with your protein the fluid

inside your blood vessels can leak out

into the cells and start creating edema

but this is usually not the problem so

I’m not gonna really talk about it now

there’s two main types of edema

idiopathic okay and pathogenic

idiopathic means unknown cause so let’s

say for example someone has acid EEMA

and they don’t have a bad heart they

don’t have a bad liver their kidney

shows up normal but they still have

edema and then you have pathogenic this

is the person with cirrhosis and their

liver is literally leaking fluid into a

sac around the gut that it’s called the

peritoneum you look on the outside they

look skinny but they have a lot of

retention of fluid in the gut they may

have pitting edema and eat lower ankles

that’s one version or you might have a

diabetic that has this huge swollen feet

and their ankles are filled with fluid

sometimes the hand is so filled with

fluid they can’t actually even bend it

they can’t get their rings off so that

would be pathogenic because the kidney

in the heart and liver are a problem

to the heart if you have congestive

heart failure the fluid backs up into

the tissues as well and of course the

treatment that is given is diuretics

okay

avoiding salt and compression stockings

so let me show you what’s really going

on behind this condition it is the high

carbohydrate diet that’s right you

guessed it the average American consumes

between 250 to 400 grams of

carbohydrates and I’m not talking about

vegetable carbohydrates I’m talking

about refined grains and sugar each gram

of carbohydrate holds three grams of

water so this carbohydrate is acting as

a sponge in your muscles and your liver

around the tissue

so you’re basically waterlogged now as

far as myself what I was consuming is

fruit primarily apples okay I used to

consume a lot of apples with peanut

butter I would take the Honey Crisp

apples which is basically 19 grams of

sugar and I would cut it and I would

have that peanut butter I would have a

snack mid-morning mid-afternoon and

after dinner so that’s what I was doing

I was eating good otherwise but I was

doing three meals and three snacks so if

you’ve been watching my channel you know

the problem with that many meals you’re

raising a lot of insulin and I was

getting a lot of sugar so I was 211

pounds so right now I am 180 a lot of

that was fluent okay and you can see it

in my eyes and as soon as I cut up those

apples the fluid came right off very

quickly and of course I only consumed

two meals a day right now first meal

right around

I don’t know 1:30 2:00 o’clock sin times

3 and the next meal maybe five or six

what happens in addition to this fluid

retention is you also create a lot of

inflammation and with inflammation

you’re also holding a lot more water

next thing is that these this high

carbohydrate diet retains a tremendous

amount of salt

so you’re holding salt and with that

you’re holding more fluid the other

problem with high carbohydrate diets is

you deplete your potassium reserves so

the more carbohydrate you consume in the

form of refined carbs and sugar you’re

depleting your potassium potassium helps

to get rid of the fluid so we have

higher amounts of sodium and low amounts

of potassium and we have an imbalance an

average person needs about 4700

milligrams of potassium now if we look

at all the nutrients in the RDAs

potassium is at the top of the list as

far as the quantity of that specific

nutrient we just need a lot of it okay

like magnesium is like 450 milligrams

vitamin C is like 70 milligrams but we

needed just a ton of potassium now

there’s been some other studies that pre

historically that we were consuming

11000 milligrams of potassium and of

course to get your body at those levels

you’re gonna have to consume more of

these things called vegetables okay big

salads I pretty much do all of my

vegetables most of my vegetables in one

meal it’s a large salad however the

first meal I do consume fermented

vegetables okay so that does add to it

but not in large quantities you do get

potassium from eggs and meats but not as

much as the greens so let me just

explain how simple it is to get rid of

that puffiness in the eyes and the

swollen face all you have to do is bring

your carbs down bring them down below 50

grams or less okay preferably 20 grams

you’re going to start to get rid of that

excess fluid pretty quick but in

addition to that also increase your

potassium foods large amounts of

vegetables these two simple things right

here will get rid of the swollen eyes

and the puffy face really fast thanks
