Feeling bloated, with heavy legs or an uncomfortable belly doesn't have to be normal. Fluid retention is a common problem, especially during periods of heat, stress, or hormonal imbalances. The good news? There are foods that help your body drain naturally , activate the lymphatic system , and eliminate accumulated toxins .
Discover what to eat (and do) to say goodbye to bloating — with lightness, flavor, and simple rituals.
1. Foods that help drain fluids
Cucumber, celery and asparagus
These vegetables are rich in water, potassium, and fiber , and help to deeply hydrate cells and eliminate excess sodium—one of the main culprits behind fluid retention.
They also stimulate kidney function and intestinal transit , two essential pathways for drainage.
Pineapple and watermelon
With a high water content and digestive enzymes, these fruits are ideal for combating bloating.
Pineapple contains bromelain , which helps reduce inflammation and improve digestion. Watermelon is a natural diuretic and rich in lycopene , an antioxidant that supports circulation.
Horsetail infusion
A plant with diuretic and remineralizing properties, which eliminates fluids without causing the loss of important minerals such as potassium. Traditionally used for heavy legs and fluid retention.
Parsley and cilantro
Both are potent liver and kidney activators . Parsley has a purifying action , helping the liver to filter toxins. Cilantro helps eliminate heavy metals and balances the digestive system.
Pumpkin and sunflower seeds
Rich in zinc, magnesium, and fiber , they help regulate hormonal balance and stimulate digestion. They also have a slightly anti-inflammatory effect.
Matcha and lemon water
Two natural activators of digestion and drainage. Matcha is rich in catechins , which stimulate the liver and promote fat burning .
Lemon alkalizes the body , stimulates bile production, and helps eliminate waste.
