What Causes Morning Puffiness?
High Salt or Packaged Food at Night
Excess sodium from snacks, sauces, or outside food can cause water retention.
Poor Sleep or Sleeping Late
Your lymphatic system (which drains excess fluid) works best when you rest deeply.
Lack of Movement
If you sit all day, fluid doesn’t circulate well, especially in the legs and face.
Hormonal Fluctuations or PMS
Estrogen and progesterone shifts can cause your body to retain more fluid before your period.
Low Protein or Nutrient Deficiencies
Without enough protein, your cells can’t maintain fluid balance.
Chronic Stress
Cortisol affects your body’s ability to drain and detox properly.
Gentle Daily Detox (No Extreme Diets or Juices)
Start your day with warm water (add jeera, ajwain, or lemon if it suits you).
Eat home-cooked, warm meals with dal, sabzi, ghee, and simple grains.
Reduce packaged, fried, and restaurant food— especially for dinner.
Move your body, even a 15-minute walk helps your system drain better.
Elevate your feet at night or massage gently with oil to support circulation.
Avoid cold, raw-heavy meals late at night. Your gut prefers warmth when detoxing.
Get sunlight in the morning to reset your body’s rhythm.
Final Note
Your body isn’t misbehaving when it’s puffy.
It’s asking for softness, warmth, and support.
You don’t need a cleanse. You need consistency and care — and you’ll feel the difference not just in your face, but in your energy too.
