1. Ginger
  If after a feast you're feeling a little queasy, ginger can be a fast-acting   antacid. It's also an anti-inflammatory, so keep adding it to your stir-fries   and marinades. For a refreshing healthy drink, add ginger syrup to to freshly   squeezed juices. And no, ginger beer doesn't count. Sorry.

2. Dandelion Greens
  These greens, along with nutrient-rich kale, are also a diuretic. Bitter and   crisp, they make a perfect addition to any salad and go well with sweet, anti-oxidant   rich pomegranate seeds.

3. Apple Cider Vinegar
  This fermented juice made from crushed apples is a known bloat fighter and potassium   stabilizer. You can either mix it with water, or add it to apples, fennel, and   celery for a zippy (and much healthier) slaw. Tip: Use unrefined if you can--refined   apple cider vinegar loses a lot of its nutritional value during processing.

4. Turmeric
  Turmeric doesn't have much flavor, but it imbues every dish it touches with   a warm yellow-orange hue--plus it's high in potassium. Instead of turning to   curries, which are often high in fat and sodium, try adding turmeric to whole   wheat couscous, rice, or soup.

5. Seaweed
  In addition to its diuretic properties, which help to reduce water retention,   seaweed makes for a delicious B12-packed snack. Try the wafer-thin variety from   Trader Joe's; a whole pack is only 60 calories (and 99 cents). They're great   crumbled up on salads, soups, and veggies.

6. Basil
  Basil is packed with flavonoids, an antioxidant, and the essential oil extracted   from the fragrant herb is an anti-inflammatory. While it's a pesto regular,   basil also brightens up salads and vegetable dishes.

7. Mint
  While it's most effective when boiled in tea (it helps to flush liquids from   your system quicker), mint can also make a great pesto addition. Just don't   use it as an excuse to eat mint chocolate chip ice cream cake.

8. Cucumber
  Cukes help to stimulate your kidneys in removing uric acid from your body. Usually   taking a back seat to other vegetables in salads, cucumbers are a hit in game-day   salsa and as a refreshing topper for raw seafood.

9. Red Grapefruit
  Along with the antioxidant lycopene and a boatload of vitamin C to keep away   pesky winter colds, grapefruits helps to flush extra water from your system.   They also add zip to salads and smoothies (without ice cream).

10. Asparagus
  This tender green veg improves kidney function and helps to flush toxins from   your body. And when they're pureed, they add a delightful, creamy texture to   vegetable soups.
