Natural diuretics can help you get rid of extra water weight.
Hydration is especially important when someone is significantly overweight and/or has cardiovascular problems, as water retention can be significant and cause health-threatening problems. If we struggle with dehydration, it can affect our blood pressure and heart. Consult a doctor before using any nutritional supplement.
Many people can also experience dehydration from standing or sitting, this is due to inadequate blood circulation - if there is inadequate blood flow, there is no way to transport the fluid, in which case it accumulates. In such cases, a natural diuretic can also be beneficial.
For those who have a low body fat percentage (men below 15%, women below 20%), the extra water can improve our already thin/shapely figure even further.
Natural diuretics include: dandelion root extract, parsley, horseradish, medicinal bearberry.
Diuretics also contain potassium, as potassium deficiency can occur as a result of water loss. To prevent this, all diuretic preparations also contain potassium.
Diuretics come in different forms, and many factors can affect which one is best for a particular person.
- Diuretic tea: Herbal diuretic teas such as horsetail tea or parsley tea can be popular as they have a natural and mild diuretic effect. However, it is important to note that their excessive consumption is not recommended, and it is always worth checking for possible side effects or interactions of herbs with other medicines.
- Diuretic foods: Certain foods can also help with dehydration, such as vegetables and fruits that have a high water content. Examples include carrots, beets, asparagus and melons.
- Diuretic pills: Diuretic pills, also known as diuretics, are available as medications or supplements and can help remove excess fluid from the body. These pills stimulate the kidneys to expel more water from the body in the form of urine.
It is always recommended to consult a professional before using any diuretic method, especially if you have any health problems or are taking other medications.
