12 FOODS THAT CLEANSE YOUR KIDNEYS

The kidneys play several roles in the body. The most important is to filter out deadly toxins. It is the kidneys that remove nitrogenous waste from the body. So it makes sense to keep them healthy to stay fit. In this article, we'll take a look at the best foods to help keep your kidneys working properly.

While exercise is important for good health, good nutrition is the key to keeping the kidneys and other internal organs in optimal working condition. It is important to avoid processed foods, additives and foods high in sugar. However, some 'healthy' foods may also be responsible for a deterioration in your kidney health, such as red meat, which is high in protein.

For healthy kidneys, focus on eating the foods below. They have the ability to double the detoxifying power of your kidneys.

12 FOODS THAT WILL KEEP YOUR KIDNEYS CLEAN

1. Olive oil

This is one of the most powerful foods on this list. This oil is perfect for those looking to cleanse their kidneys. Packed with antioxidants and minerals, this staple can be easily incorporated into almost any meal.

2. Water

Water is probably one of the best foods for kidney health. By keeping your body properly hydrated, you dilute your urine and help your kidneys get rid of toxins. No other liquid is as effective at cleansing the kidneys and keeping them healthy as water.

3. Watermelon

This fruit is a friend of the kidneys because of its high water content as well as vitamins and minerals. It is advisable to eat it regularly, especially since it is delicious and refreshing during the hot season.

4. Lemon juice

If you suffer from minor kidney problems, such as stones, lemon juice is good for you. This juice has a high amount of acidity which helps it to break down kidney stones. You can drink it as a juice with a little water, or add it to a salad.

5. Red fruits

They are full of antioxidants. These antioxidants are almost as important as water, as they help the kidneys to eliminate toxins much faster. The darker the colour, the better for the kidneys. So choose blueberries, blackberries and cranberries.

6. Apples

The old adage "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" still holds true, especially for the kidneys. Apples contain very high amounts of soluble fibre which helps to eliminate waste and toxins from the body.

7. Pumpkin seeds

These seeds contain almost as many antioxidants as blueberries. Pumpkin seeds should be consumed regularly by people seeking to improve their kidney health. As well as being good for your kidneys, pumpkin seeds are great for the rest of your body: they are rich in protein and nutrients.

8. Ginger

Ginger contains antioxidant compounds that are beneficial to kidney function. It also has cleansing properties and purifies the blood and kidneys of all toxins.

9. Turmeric

Turmeric is rich in antiseptic properties and is used to treat many ailments. It has anti-inflammatory properties so it can help prevent and treat kidney inflammation and kidney infections.

10. Dandelion

Dandelion leaves are among nature's best diuretics. They strengthen the kidneys, flush out water retention and promote urination, thus soothing irritations of the urinary system. Fresh or dried, all parts of the plant can be used to make a refreshing infusion with diuretic properties.

11. Nettle

Another plant that is used to purify the blood and treat urinary tract infections. It has a diuretic effect and eliminates bacteria. To make a detoxifying and diuretic infusion, steep fresh or dried nettles in hot water for 10-15 minutes.

12. Parsley

This is one of the best foods to help rid the kidneys of all toxins and is also beneficial in treating kidney stones and urinary tract infections. You can include this food in your salad or other dishes or make a parsley tea.

By simply adding these foods to your diet, you are allowing your kidneys to work optimally and keep them healthy for as long as possible.
