What is a Diuretic? A diuretic is a medication or chemical that promotes the elimination of fluid in the body. This can lead to an accelerated metabolism that seems to flush out the fatty deposits that may lodge themselves on cells. Diuretics break down fatty deposits into small chunks which makes it easier for your body to flush these nasty little things out of your body.

Asparagus          

Asparagus contains the chemical asparagine. This is an alkaloid that stimulates the kidneys and improves the circulatory process. These alkaloids directly effect the cells and break down fat. It also contains a chemical that helps to remove waste from the body by breaking up the oxalic acid, this acid tends to glue fat to cells, so by breaking the acid up, it helps to reduce fat levels.

Beets

Beets are strong diuretics that focus on the liver and kidneys. They flush out floating body fats and contain a special iron that cleanses the corpuscles (the blood cells that can contain fat deposits.) Beets also contain a chlorine that helps to flush out fatty deposits. This chlorine stimulates the lymph which will then clear out the fat deposits.

Brussels Sprouts

This vegetable stimulates the glands, the pancreas especially, which releases hormones and has a cleansing effect on the cells. They also contain minerals that stimulate the kidneys. Waste is released more quickly and it helps to clean out the cells.

Cabbage

This cleanses your body of waste matter because it contains sulphur and iodine, which helps to cleanse the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines. Cabbage is a great food if you have a pot belly or middle age spread as the diuretic in cabbage will help to break up the fat in this area.

Carrots          

Carrots contains carotene, a form of Vitamin A. The carotene will start a fat flushing reaction in your system. This reaction will literally wash out fat and waste quickly. The carotene will be transformed into vitamin A in the intestines and this process will speed up your metabolism and cause your cells to remove fat deposits.

Celery

Raw celery has a high concentration of calcium in a ready to use form, so when you eat it, the calcium is sent directly to work. This pure form of calcium will ignite your endocrine system. The hormones in your body will break up the accumulated fat build up. Celery also has a high level of magnesium and iron which will clean out your system.

Cucumber

Cucumber contains a high sulphur and silcon content. These minerals work to stimulate the kidneys to wash out uric acid, which is a waste product. With uric acid being washed out, it stimulates the removal of fat, and loosens the fat from the cells.

Garlic

Garlic is also a natural diuretic. Garlic has mustard oils which create a cleansing action in the body. They promote a vigorous action of peristalsis, a muscular contraction, which loosens fat and helps wash out fats. It can also break down clumps of fat so eat garlic and slim down.

Horseradish

We've all seen horseradish, few venture to use it, but it has the amazing effect of dissolving fat in cells (without side effects) it also has a cleansing effect on the body.

Lettuce

Lettuce contains iron and magnesium. These minerals will enter your spleen. Your spleen helps your immune system protect the body from illness. The spleen will use these minerals to make them stronger, and send them to the cells and tissues. Lettuce also helps the liver, increases your metabolism, and washes out fatty cells. The darker lettuces have more minerals. So add lettuce to your diet today!

Onions

Onions, similar to garlic, have minerals and oils that help to break down fat deposits and speed up your metabolism. Have raw onions every day, it has more power than garlic and with a milder smell, it will make an excellent addition to your diet.

Radishes

Radishes scrub the mucous membrane of the body because they contain high levels of iron and magnesium. These minerals actually help to dissolve fat in the cells.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Use this diuretic in small quantities. You can add it to your salad as a dressing. What makes this such a powerful diuretic is that it is made from apples, and the malic acid in apples create a fat burning process. Another factor with this vinegar is that the fermentation process causes the vinegar to have constructive acids that join with alkaline elements and minerals in the body. This produces a cell scrubbing effect. It also contains high levels of potassium, which has an antisceptic quality which helps to eliminate fat deposits.

Tomatoes

Tomatoes have high vitamin C and citricmalic-oxalic acids. The acid will accelerate the metabolic process. It also helps the kidneys to release more water and helps to wash away fat. The natural acids, along with the enzyme activated minerals prompt the kidneys to filter out large quantities of fatty deposits which are then eliminated from your system. So add tomatoes to your daily diet and your metabolism will thank you for it.
