When your diet contains too much sodium, your body is more likely to retain fluids. That's because there's a delicate balance between sodium and potassium in the cells; when too much sodium enters the cells, water follows in order to dilute it, and this can often lead to bloating and cells becoming full of excess water.

If your puffy eyes are a result of fluid retention and too much salt in your diet, they'll tend to be worse in the morning.

That's because you don't drink water overnight while you're sleeping, so your body can become very dehydrated by morning.

Cut back on your salt intake and try seasoning your food with herbs and spices instead.

Your salt receptors can become overwhelmed if you regularly eat too much salt; by cutting back, you'll start to appreciate smaller doses of salt and other seasonings. Our Herbamare Sodium-Free is a great substitute!
