Bothered by premenstrual bloat that adds inches to your waistline and makes your breasts tender? Blame goes to progesterone, a hormone that triggers water retention during the second half of your monthly cycle. To beat it, try munching celery, watermelon, eggplant, fennel, asparagus or parsley or drinking dandelion tea. All are natural diuretics that help rid your body of excess fluid by encouraging your kidneys to release salt and water.

Thank You I am BLOATED this month. Thank You Thank You.
You’re welcome! If it was summer, I’d advise loading up on watermelon. That’s also a tasty diuretic. But, if you can find regular melon, that’ll work, too.
