Consumption of diuretics for weight loss is based on popular myths about human health in general and diets in particular. Ostensibly to lose weight, it is necessary to remove excess water from the body.

Few of us think that diuretics are prescribed by a doctor only in special cases, and their uncontrolled reception can cause irreversible damage to health.

Diuretic breakthrough in pharmacology Modern diuretics, or diuretics, have become a real breakthrough in pharmacology over the past 25 years. They came to replace the old ineffective or frankly dangerous means for removing surplus fluid and salts from the body. Diuretics have a wide range of indications, including acute renal failure, stagnant phenomena in the large and small circles of the circulation, caused by cardiovascular insufficiency, nephritis, cirrhosis accompanied by edematic syndrome. Diuretics are also used in the treatment of hypertension and acute poisoning with various chemical compounds.

Note that among the indications for the use of diuretics of evidence-based medicine, obesity (not to be confused with edema!) Does not occur in any case. However, this does not prevent many people from using them for other purposes.

Fatty tissue is almost all water. Adipose tissue more than 90% consists of water. Scientists have determined that 1 g of carbohydrates obtained delays up to 4 g of water. Reception of diuretics allows you to release excess water from the cells, which is then excreted along with urine.

After taking diuretics you will definitely weigh less, but do not become less fatty. Fat will remain in its place, and only water and salt will be released. The water balance in the body will quickly recover after a couple of glasses of water.

Consumption of diuretics for weight loss - an absurd, useless and very harmful idea, as well as slimming enemas. A diuretic can be prescribed only by a doctor, and then with edema, which is a symptom of serious diseases. Uncontrolled self-treatment in this case is prohibited..
