This simple technique helps reduce pressure on the bladder and reduces or eliminates the need to go to the bathroom in the early morning. 😴✅
🦵 The Elevated Legs Trick
This is a clinical trick that very few people know about. During the day, your body accumulates fluids in your legs due to gravity. When you lie down, those fluids return to your circulatory system… and your kidneys transform them into urine, triggering bathroom visits. 😑
💡 Solution: Elevate your legs for 30 minutes in the late afternoon.
🔼 You can lie on a couch and prop your legs up on two pillows.
🔼 Or sit with your legs leaning against a wall, slightly tilted.
🔼 Do this every day at 5:30 p.m. or before dinner.
This habit reduces fluid buildup at night, improves circulation, and also prevents ankle swelling. ✅
🍵 Foods and Drinks That Increase Urine Production (Avoid Them in the Afternoon!)
Your diet also plays an essential role in nighttime urine production. There are foods that, while healthy, act as natural diuretics.
❌ Avoid after 5:00 p.m.:
🥒 Cucumber
🍉 Watermelon
🥬 Celery
🍵 Green, black, or white tea
☕ Coffee
🍺 Beer or wine
🍜 Broths or soups with high fluid content
🍊 Orange, grapefruit, or cranberry juice
Even foods high in sodium (salt) can upset your body’s fluid balance. Opt for light, dry dinners like grilled chicken and salads with little or no water and little salt. 🥗🍗
