    Cranberry juice can help, celery too. And sorry to say, lots of water :wink:

    Yup, drinking lots of water, will get rid of your body holding on to water.
    Don't eat anything with high sodium.

    Dandelion is a herbal diuretic. For a therapeutic-strength dosage of it, you can buy it as capsules, or brew the dried leaves as a tea. Otherwise, limit your sodium intake and drink as much water as possible. Watery veggies and fruits like lettuces and watermelon also help.

    Raw or pureed cranberries with no added sugar. Apple cider vinegar, green veggies. Blueberries and tomatoes too

    Also lots and lots of water!

    We keep a little jar of dried leaves to shake into things that we wouldn't necessarily notice, like smoothies, etc.
