Ew. Cut down on your salt and do some Pilates for 5-10 minutes a day, Cankles.

Water retention. To avoid water retention, you must drink LOTS of water!

(and yes, cut out salty foods)

Only after a quick trip home. Drink lots of water, no salt, no caffeine, and raise your feet when you can. If you're young and healthy, it'll resolve.

I'm not in Korea yet but I have this problem quite a bit, especially when it gets hot. As other people have mentioned I find drinking TONS of water to help some. There are also some vegetables that are natural diurectics. I believe cucumbers and asparagus are a couple.
