Natural Diuretics

Natural diuretics are found in foods or herbs that increase the flow of urine in order to rid the body of fluids.

While natural diuretics remove fluids from the body, there is a possibility that other important vitamins and minerals may be flushed out as well. When using a natural diuretic it is essential to make sure you are getting enough nutrients to prevent the loss of electrolytes.

Water Retention

Foods that contain salt and sugar can cause the body to retain fluids, which may lead to bloating and water retention. Inadequate protein and not getting enough amino acids or B-vitamins may also lead to accumulating excess fluids.

When Diuretics are Needed

Diuretics are often prescribed for people who are suffering from edema, which is an accumulation of fluids in the body tissues. Diuretics can also be prescribed for people who have high blood pressure, heart disease, and women suffering from PMS. If diuretics are not used properly it can lead to dehydration and potassium deficiency.
