Moisturizers
-
Fluid retention can be very annoying as it makes you feel bloated. You can reduce water retention with diuretics, but what are these and why is it good or not good to use them? Are there natural diuretics, such as fruit and vegetables or do we need other (non-natural) products to wick away moisture?
The influence of moisture
-
Moisture can play a big role in your weight. If your body retains a lot of fluid, your weight is automatically higher than if enough fluid is expelled. Sometimes you want to retain moisture and sometimes you don't. Some athletes use creatine.
-
This material ensures that the muscles retain more moisture, so that they look fuller. But in most cases, you will probably prefer to get rid of that excess moisture rather than be rich. In that case, the use of diuretics is a good solution.

What are diuretics?
-
As the name suggests, a diuretic is something that ensures that moisture is removed from your body. There are different types of diuretics that (can) have other properties besides wicking moisture away.
Losing weight with diuretics
-
Many natural foods have diuretic properties. By consuming diuretics you can stimulate the loss of body weight. That is one reason to use products that ensure that sufficient moisture leaves your body.
-
Moisturizers ensure that your kidneys function better and that is of course very important. When your body retains too much water, it can have dire consequences for your health, so it is a good idea to include diuretics in your daily diet.

Fruit and vegetables as diuretics
-
Some natural diuretics are various fruits and vegetables. Here is a list of fruits and vegetables that help your body wick away water:
-
Diuretics not only cause your body to lose excess water, but they also act as an antioxidant that removes waste and toxins from your body. This will make you feel healthier and fitter. Eat the above vegetables (and fruit) raw for best results, for example by using them in salads. You can make tea from nettle and dandelion, but the dandelion tea in particular can have a bitter taste.

Supplement to ward off moisture
-
There are also other diuretics, such as coffee and (green) tea. You hear a lot of conflicting reports about coffee, but a few cups of coffee a day has many health benefits. There are also supplements that wick away moisture, as with everything, however, also with drinking coffee and consuming diuretic supplements: do this in moderation.
-
Above all, make sure you have a good balance and don't overdo it. Our body consists for a large part of water and that is not for nothing. Too much moisture is not good, but neither is too little.
