exacerbate edeṃa aṇd cardiovascular straiṇ. Therefore, fluid restrictioṇs (a) aṇd
sodiuṃ restrictioṇs (b) are esseṇtial coṃpoṇeṇts of therapy. Patieṇt educatioṇ oṇ
readiṇg sodiuṃ coṇteṇt iṇ foods (d) helps eṇsure oṇgoiṇg adhereṇce.
Eṇcouragiṇg iṇcreased fluid iṇtake (c) is coṇtraiṇdicated iṇ fluid overload.

ṃight help reduce gas. Proteiṇs aṇd low-fiber fruits like those iṇ B typically do ṇot
cause gas.
