Have you ever woken up in the morning and been startled by a swollen face in the mirror? Even when you have not eaten a late-night snack, if your whole body feels heavy and uncomfortable like a waterlogged sponge, you should not dismiss it as simple puffiness. This edema might be a very important SOS signal from your body.

Have you ever suffered from thirst that never goes away no matter how much water you drink, or woken up the next morning shocked by a swollen body? Did you perhaps brush it off, thinking you were just tired? In fact, this might be a strong warning sign sent by your body's indulgence in salty foods.

Did you fall asleep last night after having salty mala soup or spicy chicken feet for a late-night snack? Looking in the mirror the next morning and seeing a puffy face with swollen hands and feet is an experience you have likely had more than once or twice. I understand how frustrating it is when you wonder why you swell up like this.
