Getting rid of excess sodium
I ate some salty food recently and I feel bloated. Not to mention I went out last night, drank and had a good time but that also makes me feel bloated.
How can I get rid of excess sodium in the body? I'm already on my 3rd liter of water to try and depuff myself. Anything else I can do to push it along?

Grapefruit juice and cranberry juice are diuretics.

Caffeine is a diurectic, beer works too!

Depending on the bloat, you may have eaten MSG. Usually when something is extremely salty, it is from MSG.
Drink some cranberry juice, grapefruit juice or guava juice. They all cleanse the body.
Beer can actually make you bloat more.

^^Yeah, the carbonation from beer can cause bloating but alcohol is a diurectic, not the best diurectic though.

It's been so insanely dry down here so keep drinking that water! After drinking Saturday night, I drank an UNBELIEVABLE amount of water and didn't even pee!

^^Same here! I think I'm drinking as much water as Cally uses batteries.

Flush out sodium with bottled water! It's the safest and quickest way.
Using another drink as a diuretic can actually make you sick. You don't want to deplete Magnesium and potassium.

put a slice of lemon in your water....(lemon is a natural diurectic)
