RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Were you feeling/looking bloated after 4th of July weekend festivities? One likely cause, all the sodium you consumed, because sodium carries water in the body. How to avoid bloating:

1) Limit your sodium intake to no more than 1200mg/day.

2) Eat more potassium rich foods, because potassium helps to kick out excess water in the body. See the link for what foods are high in potassium.
