That's because, after age 50 or so, our ability to recognize thirst decreases and our kidneys lose some of their precision in regulating the body's water supply, says Lawrence Armstrong, a researcher with the University of Connecticut Human Performance Laboratory.
Thiazide diuretics (water pills) are medications that are used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and reduce fluid accumulation in the body. They work by reducing the ability of the kidneys to reabsorb salt and water from the urine and into the body thereby increasing the production and output of urine (diuresis).
The urine drug test is the most popular form of drug test. If you are up against a urine drug test your best form of detox and preparation for the drug test is drinking water and perspiring. DO NOT waste money on teas and diuretics. The best diuretic is organic cranberry juice. NOT $40.00 herbs and teas.
