Capers are vegetables with a quite particular flavor, close to that of an olive, with a high nutritional content beneficial for health. For this reason, they are used in many culinary preparations, as well as to prevent and reduce fluid retention. Our friends from
Salud180.com tell us about this topic.
In addition to being used in many culinary preparations, as part of different
diets, capers are a healthy option for weight loss because their properties help reduce fluid retention by stimulating diuresis in the kidneys.
In this regard, a study from the University of Oxford reveals that capers have properties against fluid retention through a tea or infusion, which also stimulates greater body fat loss.
Among their nutritional values, capers contain sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron, and vitamins, as well as a high level of flavonoids, antioxidants that help reduce cholesterol and stop the oxidation of cells, which causes premature aging.
In this way, from the caper you can prepare a diuretic infusion or tea to eliminate fluids. In a container with 1 liter of water, place approximately 50 grams of caper root; boil for 15 minutes and then let it cool. Strain the liquid before drinking it, a maximum of 3 times a day, before each meal.
It is important to keep in mind that the weight lost will be due to fluids and not fats, so it is important that this tea is consumed as part of a balanced diet or in a weight loss
diet supervised by a nutritionist.
