Recipe for Natural Diuretic Drink With Cranberry Juice

A diuretic works to remove fluids from the body through urination. While this term usually is used to describe a chemical substance, many diuretics occur in nature. Some natural foods with diuretic properties are cranberries, apple cider vinegar, dandelion root and green tea. Vegetables and fruits that have a high water content---including cucumbers, melons, fennel, asparagus and celery---also can be consumed as a natural way to release body fluids.
