Search for NATURAL diuretics


I don't want to have to take medicines, so I searched and learned what to do naturally instead.  Makes sense to me!

Foods  may cause you to retain water.  Esp. excess amounts of salt and sugar can make you retain water and inadequate amounts of protein. Many foods can act as a diuretic and will aid in the production of urine. This will help to remove fluids from your body.    Be careful and don't go overboard with diuretics.

Here is a pretty good list of natural diuretics: 

Apple cider vinegar -- is a natural diuretic and helps maintain potassium levels.
