Boost Fruit and Vegetable Intake

These potassium-rich foods help to balance sodium and water retention. Many fruits and vegetables are also high in folic acid and have anti-cancer properties. Try dark leafy greens, spinach, broccoli, peppers, tomatoes, citrus fruits, and bananas. These foods also contain heart-healthy fiber and disease-fighting vitamin C. Try to eat at least 2-4 servings of fruit and 3-5 servings of vegetables each day.
