Natural diuretic foods

[Precore]

Natural foods with high water content such as watermelons and cucumbers help increase urination and better flushing out of toxins. Cucumbers are rich in sulfur and silicon that stimulate the kidneys into better removal of uric acid. Watercress and artichokes are also natural diuretic foods.



Asparagus contains asparagine - a chemical alkaloid that boosts kidney performance, thereby improving waste removal from the body.

Brussel Spouts help in stimulating the kidneys and pancreas. This helps in better cleansing of cells.

Beets are natural diuretic foods that attack floating body fats and fatty deposits.

Oats contain silica - a natural diuretic.

Cabbage is known to aid breakage of fatty deposits, especially around the abdominal region.

Carrots are a rich source of carotene that speeds the metabolic rate of the body and hastens removal of fat deposits and waste.

Lettuce aids better metabolism and flushing of toxins.

Tomatoes are rich in Vitamin C that aid the metabolism and release of water from the kidney to flush out waste.

Other than the other excellent properties that Garlic possesses, it is a natural diuretic food that aids breakage of fat. Horseradish, raw onions and radish speed up your metabolism.

I love asparagus... I'm trying to learn a way to cook them so they're more crunchy and not so squishy. Someone told me to broil them... I have yet to try that.

Anyway, speaking of natural diuretics (as if I need to spend anymore time in the bathroom... as it is, I pee wayyyy too much, lol) but dandelion root is another one. I have dandelion root tea that I drink pretty frequently closer to competition.

Also an herb called uva ursi (you can find supplements containing this at vitamin shoppe or similar stores). I haven't personally tried this one, but that's what I've heard from other sources.

Haha, just skip the movie theater special (loads of salt + butter!)

I just started to like brussel sprouts this past summer. My training partner made some and let me try... she used ground mustard or something. It was soooooo good! It's really like eating mini cabbages I think. I just don't eat them often enough. I'm on a broccoli kick right now...

Good post. I guess I never thought about lettuce being so much water having a diuretic effect.
