Are your face and eyes swollen and puffy? In this video, we’re going to discuss why this happens and how to fix it.

What causes puffy eyes and a swollen face? It’s likely caused by edema. This means there is too much fluid in the body (inside and outside of the cells).

This extra fluid is not just in the face and eyes; it’s in the:

• Heart

• Liver

• Cells

• Ankles

This could happen if you’re on a low-protein diet, but this usually isn’t the problem.

There are two main types of edema:

• Idiopathic (unknown cause)

• Pathogenic (known cause like cirrhosis or diabetes)

The real cause of this issue is a high carbohydrate diet.

0:10.6	call one of our keto consultants. They'll be able to help you. Call 540-299-1557. That's 540-299-1557.
0:21.6	Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. Is your face in eyes swollen and puffy or do you know someone who has a swollen
0:49.4	face or a puffy eyes? This is going to be so easy to fix. Okay, what we're dealing with is edema, swelling.
0:56.8	It's too much fluid in the body. The fluid is inside the cells and it's outside the cells.
1:03.6	In the interstitial spaces, which is the space around the cells. Now, I know about this because I
1:09.8	had it. You can see this in my earlier videos.
1:12.3	Look at my eyes. Swollen eyes, puffy face. Now, the problem is this extra fluid is not just in the
1:19.8	face, in the eyes. It's in the heart. It's in the liver. It's in yourselves. It's in your ankles.
1:26.9	You could press into the ankle and leaves a little
1:29.4	indentation that's called pitting edema. Sometimes in the lower legs, you could see it gives a shiny
1:34.6	appearance where the skin is just bulging out. Okay. And then you lose the hair on the bottom of your
1:41.0	lower legs. Now, it could be because you're in a low protein diet. When you
1:47.0	actually go too low with your protein, the fluid inside your blood vessels can leak out into the
1:54.3	cells and start creating edema. But this is usually not the problem, so I'm not going to really
1:59.6	talk about it. Now, there's two main types of edema, idiopathic, okay, and pathogenic.
2:06.6	Idiopathic means unknown cause.
2:09.6	So let's say, for example, someone has this edema, and they don't have a bad heart,
2:14.1	they don't have a bad liver, their kidney shows up normal, but they still have edema.
2:19.8	And then you have pathogenic. This is the person with stlerosis, and their liver is literally
2:26.3	leaking fluid into a sack around the gut that's called the peritoneum. You look on the outside,
