Tea, coffee, colas, cranberry juice, and alcohol (beer in particular) are all diuretic beverages.
The following foods and herbs are know to have diuretic properties:
Celery seed (and plant)
Parsley
Dandelion
Juniper berries
Asparagus
Artichoke
Melon
Watercress
A diuretic diet plan can help to alleviate symptoms of PMS - such as bloating and headaches.
Aim to eat small amounts of starchy carbohydrates (such as breads, rice, etc).
Avoid salt and salty food products.
Drink plenty of water and herbal teas.
See herbs above.
Avoid sugary foods.
Eat fruit and vegetables.

Anything that has a high water content (such as vegetables and fruits...esp. watermelon).
Liquids: caffeinated drinks (esp. coffee and tea), water, cranberry juice
If you're looking to get rid of excess water in your system, limit the amount of sodium/salt you consume, drink at least 48 oz. of water a day, and drink tea.

Alcohol & tea-they are diuretics.
But plenty of water is fine if you worried about a healthy urinary sytem.
