Festive meals are typically high in sodium, which draws more water into the tissues and increases swelling. Alcohol adds to this by triggering inflammation, disrupting hydration, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niaaa.nih.gov\/alcohols-effects-health\/alcohols-effects-body\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">affecting hormones that regulate fluid balance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Travel also plays a part. Sitting for long periods reduces lymphatic circulation, allowing fluid to pool in the legs, face, and abdomen. Low cabin humidity makes the effects even more noticeable on flights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stress and poor sleep round out the picture. Both can impair lymphatic and glymphatic flow, systems responsible for shifting waste and excess fluid.
