Why does the body retain fluid?

Solution

Retention of body fluid:

  1. The body requires a specific volume of liquid inside it to regularly work.
  2. The numerous widespread reasons for fluid retention are:
  1. Standing upright for extended periods of time causes fluid to "pool" in the lower leg tissues.
  2. The body is less effective at removing fluid from tissues during the summer because of the heat sunburns.
  3. Body fluids are retained primarily due to the regulatory function of these fluids in the activities of metabolism, breathing, and circulatory flow.
