Exercise! Sweating obviously gets rid of water.
Limit salt intake. Salt affects your kidneys and blood pressure. The sodium in salt makes your kidneys hold on to water instead of excreting it. MSG, or monosodium glutamate, also contains sodium.Read your labels for "MSG" or "hydrolyzed vegetable protein," which contains MSG, and avoid these foods as much as possible.
