Diuretic Supplements and FoodsDiuretic foods or supplements won't help you shed body fat, only fluid. Certain foods and herbs - such as melon, celery, watercress, asparagus, artichoke and dandelion - are natural diuretics and regularly including them in your diet may help alleviate fluid retention. A range of diuretic supplements is available from almost all major supplement manufacturers and these often include celery seed, juniper berries, parsley and dandelion. Diuretic supplements shouldn't be taken for more than a few days as they can flush important minerals from your body, and in any case it is always best to aim to relive fluid retention via diet and exercise. Diuretic drugs (prescription only) are mainly prescribed for reducing fluid retention in people at risk from high blood pressure, heart disease, liver or kidney disorders.
