Ending Water Retention
May 18, 2023
When I picked up my bi-weekly order of 14 chicken thighs, a new employee checked me out.
New Employee: “Why do you buy so many chicken thighs?”
I explained that my stressful life had left me with water weight problems and water in my inner ears. I need a hearing aid because the water blocks sound waves. When I eat, I hear my chewing louder than anything in the room around me.
Taurine in chicken thighs work with magnesium citrate from supplements and potassium from fruits and vegetables to release excess water from body cells. Releasing the water from body cells releases the water in the inner ear.
New Employee can now pass the information on to other customers, creating a little more happiness in the world.

Years before I understood my hearing loss and weight gain,
I suddenly several pounds in a few weeks
and water came out of my left ear one night,
running down my neck.
I had normal hearing and weight for a few months,
then gained weight again and lost hearing again.
Since I didn’t understand the water retention connection,
I didn’t think about what I was doing right to end the water retention.
Years later, I read about eating chicken thighs to end water retention in a women’s magazine.
I have maintained a 12 pound weight loss and improved my hearing,
but stress still can create water retention.
I’m still working on reducing stress in my life.
