Quick Ways to Lose Water Weight

There are many factors that can cause a person to accumulate fluids; too much salt intake, high blood pressure, kidney conditions, and heart conditions are all common reasons. While trying to lose water weight quickly is not recommended, and should never be attempted without the consent of your physician, there are some cases where it is necessary. Knowing how to do it safely is the key.

Diuretics

• The most common way to lose excess water weight is with the use of drugs, called diuretics. These drugs flush the tissues of water and send the excess straight to your bladder, where you will eliminate it as you urinate. There are some diuretics available over-the-counter, while others must be prescribed by your doctor. Regardless, your doctor should be made aware and approve of any diuretic you intend to take.

Natural Solutions

• Oddly enough, by consuming more water you will flush the excess water from your tissues. Eating foods that have a high water content, such as watermelon, lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers, can naturally assist the body in flushing the tissues of excess water naturally. Drinking apple cider vinegar and aloe vera juice will cause a natural diuretic effect.

Sweat it out

• Using sweat wraps is another way to quickly lose water weight. While this can be dangerous if overdone, sweating excess fluid is a very quick way to get water out of the body. Wrapping the body in heat-trapping devices which cause heavy perspiration is an immediate solution to excess water weight.
