What is diuresis?
Diuresis is the excessive discharge of urine.
What is a diuretic?
A diuretic is anything that causes diuresis. Caffeinated beverages as well as sodas and alcohol are diuretics.
All vegetables are good diuretics, but in particular celery, cucumber, lettuce, watercress, tomatoes, onions, carrots and bell peppers. Herbs like parsley also. Even water is a diuretic.
What makes coffee, tea and soda diuretics?
The mild diuretic effect in coffee, tea and soda stems from their active agents, classified as methylxanthines.
Now, from what I’ve read, your body requires an extra glass of water for every cup of coffee, tea, soda or alcohol you drink to counteract this water loss.
But what about vegetables - do you need a glass of water to counter act their diuretic effect?
The answer is no. Some vegetables, such as cucumber are made up of 90% water. It can be readily assimilated into the body as just that - water. Same for drinking large amounts of water throughout the day. What the body doesn’t need, will be removed as urine.
The body has to break down the coffee, tea, soda or alcohol , which creates toxins, which require water to dilute and flush them from the system.
The thing to notice about drinking water/eating vegetables all day versus drinking cups of coffee, tea and soda (and beers after work), will be the color of your urine. Strong yellow urine contains undiluted toxins from the kidneys. Clear urine also contains toxins, only they have been diluted by the extra water.
The extra water — assuming it is kangen with micro clusters — will be absorbed into the cells more easily and like the tide coming in on a dirty beach, will wash away the acid buildup in the cells.
Then there is the added bonus of ATP creation. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), is the energy of the cell. When water passes through the cell membranes, our cells create their own mini hydro-electric plant and create ATP energy from the process. So in effect, the more water you drink, the more you will hydrate and flush your cells from toxins, the more diluted your urine will be, the more energy you will create in each cell.
Couple all this with the added effects of its anti-oxidant nature and you can see why drinking kangen water is such a good idea.
