Kidneys operate silently, filtering waste, balancing fluids and keeping blood "clean". Below are 5 types of food that support the kidney's ability to detoxify.
Water gourd
Bau is a type that helps the kidneys naturally excrete waste. Bau juice supports the process of supplementing and absorbing water into the body without adding sugar or sodium. Eating Bau helps diuretics and reduces the accumulation of toxins.
Garlic
Garlic helps the kidneys indirectly but importantly: Reduces inflammation and helps control blood pressure. High blood pressure is one of the biggest causes of kidney damage.
Garlic also adds a rich flavor, helping to reduce salt intake. Less salt means less pressure on the kidneys. Raw or lightly cooked garlic still retains most protective compounds.
Apples
Eating apples is beneficial for the intestines first. The soluble fiber of apples binds to waste in the digestive system and eliminates waste through feces. This reduces the amount of toxins that the kidneys need to filter from the blood.
Apples also help control blood sugar levels, preventing spikes. A stable amount of sugar protects small blood vessels in the kidneys from long-term damage. Eating apples with the skin will bring the most benefits.
Coriander seeds
Cilantro seeds support urination and help the body release excess sodium. This reduces the ability to retain water and reduces the kidney's workload.
Soaking cilantro seeds overnight and drinking water in the morning is a good habit, supporting kidneys to detoxify, while not forcing the kidneys to fall into a state of stress.
Broccoli
Many vegetables are good for health but contain a lot of potassium, which can cause stress for weak kidneys. Broccoli is very good for kidneys because it is rich in fiber, vitamin C and antioxidants while still containing little potassium.
Broccoli also supports the liver detoxification process, indirectly helping the kidneys by reducing toxins.
