Eliminate Liquids With Pineapple, Cucumber And Horsetail

The combination of the infusion of field horsetail, pineapple and cucumber helps eliminate fluids while providing us with essential minerals and nutrients to strengthen the health of the body.

You will be able to eliminate  liquids in a natural way with these highly diuretic foods.

Find out below about their properties and how you can consume them daily to purify water retention, lose weight and reduce bloating.

Eliminate liquids with food

People who suffer from fluid retention often seek supplements and remedies with diuretic properties to lose volume and feel deflated and light.

They may notice a marked difference in weight when they lose fluids. However, they can recover it because of excess salt or sedentary lifestyle, for example.

Some inflammation-related illnesses can also improve by consuming diuretic foods. This is because they remove excess fluid that accumulates in the affected area. This is the case with gout or arthritis.

However, there are foods with diuretic properties that we could add to our daily diet. They make it possible to balance the liquids in our body in a natural way.

It will also be very useful to drink plenty of water outside of meals to help the kidneys work. We recommend that you drink at least 8 glasses a day, especially in the hot season.

Pineapple

Pineapple is a tropical fruit, sweet and sour, with a refreshing touch and very rich in water and fiber.

It is often found in slimming diets because it improves the digestion of proteins and fats. It is also filling.

In addition, its high soluble fiber content promotes intestinal transit and fights constipation.

This fruit owes its purifying and diuretic properties to some of its nutrients, such as:

• Asparagine
• Bromelain
• Potassium
• Caffeic acid
• Arginine

It also has antioxidant and anti carcinogenic properties. It also improves blood circulation.

To take advantage of all these healing properties we should always choose fresh pineapple, not canned.

We can consume it in juice and in homemade smoothies, in salads, as a dessert or in the oven, or spiced with cinnamon, ginger and brown sugar.

The cucumber

Cucumber has been used as a medicinal food since ancient Egypt (and as a beauty remedy by Cleopatra). It is a sweet and very refreshing vegetable, from the melon, zucchini or squash family.

One of its most common uses in natural beauty treatments is its application to closed eyes to relieve inflammation of the eyelids and bags under the eyes. The reason is that it eliminates the fluids that accumulate in our body.

Almost all of the cucumber happens to be water. It also has very few calories, which makes it a very suitable food in any slimming diet.

We can prepare salads with cucumber and other vegetables or use it in juice or gazpachos, excellent for hydrating the body and eliminating liquids during the hot season.

Horsetail

Field horsetail is a very popular herbal medicine that is rich in many minerals, such as silicon, potassium and magnesium.

It grows wild near rivers and wet places, so it is easy to harvest.

This plant eliminates fluids from the body by stimulating urine production, while preventing the demineralization produced by other diuretics.

Its richness in minerals makes field horsetail an ideal plant for improving the health and appearance of the skin, hair and nails, preventing osteoporosis and dental problems.

In addition, it has hemostatic properties, suitable for stopping hemorrhages.

We can use it as a supplement, as an extract or as an infusion, by boiling the dry plant for 15 minutes.

If we harvest it directly, we can blend its stems and combine them with fruit.

A complete smoothie

Do you want to consume these three diuretic ingredients in a smoothie that eliminates liquids in a natural and effective way?

• We recommend that you prepare the field horsetail infusion and then, once filtered, you mix it with the pineapple and cucumber.
• In this way you will be able to drink this medicinal remedy every day.

The best time to drink this smoothie is on an empty stomach, to strengthen the purifying and diuretic properties of its ingredients.

We recommend consuming field horsetail continuously, or occasionally, as a detoxifier.
