1. Filtered water
75% of your body is water. Therefore, drinking filtered water helps maintain stable blood volume and fluid flow through the kidneys, supporting this organ to eliminate toxins effectively, preventing kidney stones and kidney dysfunction.
2. Carbonated mineral water
Carbonated mineral water, which does not contain sugar or artificial sweeteners, can provide many practical health benefits for the kidneys such as electrolyte balance, taste stimulation to encourage you to replenish water more often without waiting for thirst to drink.
Consuming too much carbonated mineral water poses a risk of bloating, indigestion, acid reflux and esophageal reflux. Therefore, you need to drink carbonated mineral water carefully, knowing how to combine them in a balanced and healthy diet.
3. Black coffee
Coffee, when consumed in moderation (no more than 700ml/day), can bring some benefits to the kidneys. Coffee is nutritious, but you should only consume it in moderation.
Because drinking more than 3 cups (700ml) of coffee per day can triple the risk of kidney dysfunction in people with gene codes that slow down caffeine metabolism.
4. Tea
Drinking teas such as green tea, ginger tea, turmeric tea,... can bring many health benefits to the kidneys because:
Green tea: Rich in catechin, a powerful antioxidant, supports blood pressure regulation to prevent chronic kidney failure. In addition, green tea contains a small amount of caffeine, which helps improve blood circulation and increase kidney filtration efficiency.
Turmeric tea and ginger tea: Turmeric tea contains a lot of curcumin, while ginger tea is rich in gingerol, both are strong antioxidants, helping to protect the kidneys from damage caused by free radicals and prevent chronic kidney failure.
5. Fruit smoothie
Smoothies made from fruits are good for the kidneys because they contain a lot:
Smoothie contains a lot of fruit juice, which helps maintain fluid flow balance, which is essential for kidney activity.
Fruits are rich in fiber, which helps the kidneys control blood sugar levels, prevent diabetes - a dangerous factor, promoting chronic kidney disease.
Fruits contain many water-soluble antioxidants such as B vitamins, vitamin C and carotenoids, polyphenols,... which help protect the kidneys from damage caused by free radicals, preventing the risk of chronic kidney disease.
6. Apple vinaigrette
Apple cider vinegar is a drink made from the natural fermentation of fresh apples in a solution of acetic acid (vinegar). Apple cider vinegar is good for the kidneys because it contains a lot of acetic acid and citric acid, two compounds that can be converted into citrate and acetate salts, which help alkalize urine and inhibit kidney stones from forming.
Note when using apple cider vinegar water, you should stir 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with 150ml of filtered water to dilute them. Because, drinking pure apple cider vinegar without dilution can harm tooth enamel and burn the throat.
