What foods are druetic by Nature?  

I find that black tea is diuretic by nature because I drink quite a lot of it. My parents also drank it too, as do the rest of my family and none of us have ever had problems with water retentions. . Derek

Drinks that are diuretics are green tea, apple cider vinegar and cranberry juice. There are several veggies and fruits that work also. You might try eating watermelon, cucumbers, watercress, artichokes, lettuce, asparagus, tomatoes, beets, brussel sprouts and oats. All are diuretics. Just be careful not to overdo eating these foods because it can cause dehydration. I do take a water pill and have for years. The only difference I can tell in my system is my fingers aren't swollen in the morning when I wake up. I don't make mega trips to the bathroom througout the daym evening or night. Also watch your salt intake. Don't use any salt when cooking unless you use a salt substitute.

hi caroll, potatoes and rice are mild diuretics as well. Hope it works out when you eat more naturally diuretic foods. Some people say that cucumbers are great diuretics.

Water is a natural diuretic, drink lots of water, lay off the salt and you will find yourself losing lots of water weight if you have been storing water. Coffee, the caffeine in coffee is a great diuretic, so is beer if you drink it. Watermelon also, because of the water content.

These three links may be of some help I hope. I'm happy you won't take water pills I was on one that was supposed to be a mild safe one and it stripped my potassium and I wound up in hospital very seriously ill one time. Never ever again. Good Luck and Take care.

THe answer is parsley. Wash a bunch of fresh parsley, throw in boiling water and let it stand for at least 5 minutes. Drink it instead of drinking water. It can be drunk warm or cold, as you please.
