The kidney is the main blood filtration organ, helping to eliminate toxins. In the context of environmental pollution and a diet high in toxic substances, it is necessary to supplement foods to support the kidneys.
According to research, supplementing fruits rich in antioxidants such as grapes can reduce kidney cell damage caused by oxidative stress.
Grapes, especially red grapes and black grapes, are rich in resveratrol - a polyphenol compound with outstanding anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Research shows that resveratrol can reduce inflammation, prevent kidney fibrosis and improve blood filtration function in the model of acute kidney damage.
How to eat grapes to support the natural detoxification function of the kidneys
To optimize the effectiveness, you should eat whole grapes because most resveratrol is concentrated in the outer shell.
An effective way to eat is to eat fresh grapes in the morning, on an empty stomach, helping the body absorb maximum antioxidants. At the same time, you should eat grapes in a reasonable portion, about 150g at a time to avoid excess sugar or potassium, especially for people at risk of kidney failure.
Nutritionists emphasize eating whole fruits, instead of forcing water to take them away, which helps maintain fiber levels, supports blood sugar control and reduces the metabolic burden on the kidneys.
In addition, combining grapes with green vegetables, water and processed foods is a way to help grapes maximize their role in supporting kidney detoxification.
However, people with chronic kidney disease should consult a doctor because the potassium content in grapes can affect electrolyte balance.
