Some diuretics that contain natural active ingredients can be found in capsules, such as Centella asiatica or préle, which are used to combat water retention by helping to deflate and, for this reason, are also known to aid in the weight loss process.
However, diuretics, although they promote urine removal, fight swelling, do not burn fat, but because water also weighs, it is normal that there is a weight reduction in the scale and the clothes can relax as the body volume decreases.
Examples of natural diuretic remedies that can be found in pharmacies and drugstores include:
Diuretics, when overused, can promote dehydration and so every time you take a diuretic, you need to increase your water intake because this way the body eliminates more fluids and toxins.
Diuretic remedies, even if they are natural, should only be used under the direction of the doctor or nutritionist and can be used to:
Normally, diuretics act directly on the kidneys, preventing water from being reabsorbed by the body and removed by urine. A great way to strengthen the action of the diuretic by practicing at least 40 minutes of physical activity immediately after consumption is because muscle contraction stimulates blood circulation, bringing more water to the kidneys and favoring its elimination.
Diuretic remedies, although natural, are not recommended for hypertensive people who are already taking medications to control blood pressure, and for people with heart or kidney problems, because in these cases it can be harmful to health. Diuretics also contract during pregnancy and lactation.
When taking diuretics, even if they are natural, symptoms such as lack of potassium in the blood, low sodium, headache, thirst, dizziness, cramps, diarrhea and increased cholesterol may occur. These effects can occur when excessive amounts of diuretics are taken without proper advice.
