4 Natural Ways To Beat the Bloat Ahhhh, tis the season!! Many of us are familiar with the abdominal bloating and swollen fingers that accompany water retention. Whether you retain fluid due to hormonal changes or after eating too much rich, salty food, dont reach for prescription or even over-the-counter diuretics, both of which can have unpleasant side effects. Instead, try the following: Eat sensibly, and watch your salt intake. Get regular exercise. Things that challenge the muscles will be best to move blood back to the heart. Youll want to work those large muscle groups like you do in barre, BUTI and tap n pow{h}er. Drink black tea, which is a safe, natural diuretic. Try an herbal diuretic such as corn-silk tea or freeze-dried dandelion leaf. Both are mild and nontoxic. You can get corn-silk tea in health-food stores or make it yourself if you have access to fresh corn by steeping the silks in boiling water for 10 minutes. Drink one cup two to four times a day. The dose for freeze-dried dandelion is one or two capsules, two to four times a day. Check with your health care professional before making any changes :)
