Water pills are also called diuretics.  If we limit ourselves to the strict sense of the word, there appear to be two broad groups, those that increase kidney blood flow and those that reduce the water reabsorption in the nephrons of the kidney. \n\nThe first group includes not only diuretics such as Broom but all the herbs that are cardio-active and circulatory stimulants. These increase the blood flow in the kidney by effects on the heart or elsewhere in the body. Because there is more blood passing through the kidney, more urine is produced. Caffeine-containing herbs such as Kola, Guarana, Tea and Coffee also have this effect \n\n* The second group work in a number of different ways, but they cause diuresis be cause some of their constituents are secreted via the kidney. This may change the osmotic balance causing more water to be lost.\n\nYou do bent leg pushups by resting your knees on the ground as you do the pushups.  This way you are not having to lift as much weight as you do the pushup.

It makes you retain water.  That is why your muscles get bigger when you use it, because it pumps them up with water and expands them.  If you are already heavy, it will make you look more so.

Good for you!  The more water the better your body flushes out.  But do try some cranberry and also apple juice.

Restrict your caloric intake and do aquatic exercise. You can swim, or check with your local YMCA and health clubs to see if they offer aquatic exercise classes. You can move so much easier in the water than on dry land because of the bouyancy of the water. In waist deep water you're only carrying 50% of your weight, at chest deep it's 25% and neck deep is 10%, that will decrease the pain in your hips from the OA, allowing you to do more. Good luck!

Hey..experienced laxative junkie here..lol..yes they work..I suggest going to cvs and buying exlax extra strength (blue pills) and some rolaids or tums just incase you get a tummy ache..start off the day buy popping two blue pills (WITH FOOD) and a glass of water or you'll get cramps..the cramps is because ure body is absorbing the pill two quickly..it needs other stuff in there to break it down..you wont lose alot of weight unless you cut calorie consumption..but if youre really bad one day and eat horribly ad break youre diet badly take 3-4 pills that day and 2-3 the next..you wont gain any weight from it..always remember to take ure pill int he am! it helps break down all the junk you eat during the day..and look at the back of the box..it takes 6-8 hrs sometimes! My fave laxs are the exlax I told you about and duldolax..works great but you can only take one a day..I ALWAYS get cramps with this pill..I never take more than one a day but they work great..I went on vaca with my bf to florida and we ate like total pigs..I took these towards the end of the vaca the last few days and I dropped 5 pds of the 8 I gained lol! Fiber powders/pills and such suck! They don't work well at all..neither do prunes..Mineral oil is great to cook with..it makes cakes/brownies/cookies taste alot better..and they help you get rid of that stuff lol! Everyone is going to say they arent healthy and it is a disgusting habit but whatever..if i didnt have them to help me diet I'd be alot more unhealthy and overweight..the only people who get sick from them are people who really abuse them! for example..take 10 a day...if you have any more questions email me kirchshannon@yahoo.com

I'm sure there is great info out there, I don't have any. but remember water plays an important part in our bodies 70-80% of us is water. so bigger muscles equals more water.

creatine just causes your body to put water into the muscle....which makes muscles look bigger, but doesn't truely do anything for strength.

Are you asking about water exercise for your knee after surgery on it?\n\nThe reason they have you do exercise in the water is because your knee is a weight bearing joint.  The water takes your weight off from the joint so that you can benefit from range of motion exercises without stressing it from your weight.

Swimming is a great exercise for ab muscles and legs.  If you see yourself as an "apple or pear" shape person, swimming will definitely help you in these areas.  It is nonshocking to your joints, it is aerobic and also fun.  As far as diet pills, stay away from them the side affects do more harm than good and there isnt a wonder pill on the market as of yet that doesnt have a side affect that can kill you.  Of course, a good diet would be helpful- join a gym that has a pool and have a trainer go over what exercises you can start off at and gradually increase to get the results you want by the summer, they also have nutritionists at the better gyms and since it is near the holidays, they usually run specials for Christmas - so check it out--- good luck on your goal to a new you!!

no, those things don't work. get up off your lazy @$$ and go work out, limit your junk food and drink water instead of pop.

I wouldn't take them unless your Dr. gives them to you. Water pills work by moving excess water from the lungs and the body to the kidneys for urination.

You breathe it out as carbon dioxide.  You also probably lost some water weight through evaporation and urination.
