Ingredients:
1 bunch of fresh parsley
1 lemon
1 liter of water
PREPARATION:
Bring the water to a boil.
Chop the parsley finely and add it to the boiling water.
Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
Turn off the heat and add the juice of one lemon to the mixture.
Strain the tea and drink warm or cool.
Daily Consumption:
Drink 1-2 cups of parsley and lemon tea daily. Starting your day with a cup can kickstart your digestive system and enhance diuretic effects.
Additional Tips for Reducing Water Retention
Stay Hydrated: Ironically, drinking enough water helps reduce water retention. When your body is dehydrated, it holds onto fluid as a defense mechanism.
Exercise Regularly: Physical activity helps circulate blood and fluids throughout your limbs and supports the lymphatic system in reducing swelling.

Elevate Your Feet: If swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet is an issue, try elevating your feet to improve circulation
Precautions
While parsley and lemon are generally safe for most people, excessive consumption can lead to side effects, such as gastrointestinal upset or further kidney issues if pre-existing conditions are present.
