It’s a common trait among women – we retain water. This is especially true when we’re going through PMS, when we’re pregnant or as we go through menopause. We tend to hold on to water because various hormone levels change during these times. Sometimes we can really see the swelling in our face, ankles, lower legs and tummy area. Retaining excess water can leave us feeling lethargic and bloated and takes us that much farther away from our weight-loss goals.
