Thousands of people across the country make their New Year’s resolution each year to lose weight and eat healthier even if it kills them. Most people stick to their resolution while others abandon their goal days and weeks from the turn of the new calendar year. Others do not make it a New Year’s resolution to lose weight. Instead, they wake up one morning and decide that it is time to lose some weight. These people will either join a gym, workout in their basement, walk around the neighborhood, swim, run or lift weights to find a way to lose the extra weight. Others will decide to take diuretic pills or natural diuretics to lose the weight that they feel is hindering their health. Natural diuretics are foods and drinks available for purchase in the supermarket and at farm stands all across the country. These foods and drinks can be consumed by anyone wishing to lose weight without talking with a physician.
 Going on a diet is not only for people who are overweight who want to lose weight. Diets can also be used by skinny people to rid their body of excess water that is retained when pigging out on junk food. Some other people will diet to rid their body of specific ailments suffered during a cold, an illness, or a disease. Then there are other people who will diet for the sole purpose of removing water from the body that is retained when the body becomes bloated. Natural diuretics are the perfect solution for people who want to diet for the sole purpose of losing excess water in the body and not for massive weight loss. Ingesting natural diuretics helps the body get rid of excess sodium and chloride, which can cause a buildup of liquids in the body.
Believe it or not, one of the most important natural diuretics around today is chocolate. Chocolate has been rumored to be beneficial to people’s health because it helps remove excess fluid from the body. The natural diuretic used in the manufacturing of chocolate is Lecithin, which aids in the prevention of the buildup of cholesterol in the arteries of the body’s heart. If there is less buildup of cholesterol in the arteries then there will be better circulation within the body, which means a healthier body for the person overall. Natural diuretics can also be used to help women get rid of their PMS symptoms, one of which is bloating.
Foods and drinks that are natural diuretics and commonly used for weight loss include the following:
- Melon
- Lettuce
- Tomatoes
- Oats
- Dandelion leaf tea
- Green tea
- Coffee
- Juniper berries
- Parsley
- Celery
- Fennel
- Brussels sprouts
- Cranberry juice

If you are hoping to lose weight by eating and drinking items that are considered natural diuretics, consult with a physician prior to going on the diet to make sure that this diet will not interfere with any medical condition you might be suffering from at the time.
