Diuretics and losing weight
Diuretics are medicines that help reduce the amount of water (not fat) in the body. This loss of fluid reduces your weight but it does not reduce the amount of fat in your body. When the body is dehydrated it loses great amounts of salts such as potassium which can lead to heart failure. A lack of fluid in the body can lead to dry skin and deep venous thrombosis (thrombosis in the legs). In addition, the dehydration of the body boycotts the body's efforts to maintain your own physical beauty. High levels of fluid in the body provide healthy skin. The skin gets "dampened" internally if you have a lot of fluid in your body. As a result it does not get dry so quickly, it is firmer and receives a better supply of blood. All moisturizing creams of the world cannot help a dehydrated body.
