Kidney Detox Diet

For a detox diet you can utilize some special juicing recipes that can help keep your kidneys healthy. The kidney is a very delicate organ and its main function is to filter and purify the blood by removing waste and toxins. It also balances sodium levels and blood pressure. For proper metabolic functions, it requires a detox diet to remain healthy.

 

Good Food, Bad Food:

The kidney organ can be cleansed through the food or drink you take on daily basis. It can also be damaged by what you eat or drink. In most cases, high intake of animal proteins, drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes and other unhealthy eating habits can cause a lot of harm to the kidney and its functions and might even cause renal colic.

Doctors and health experts always recommend drinking 8 glasses of purified or filtered water daily. It is very important to stay hydrated as water helps flushing toxins out of the body and dilutes the concentration of fluids in the kidney. These fluids harbor toxins and chemicals that have negative impact on your kidneys health. Also, as salts and minerals accumulate, they bond to form kidney stones of different sizes. Kidney stones are painful and could lead to serious complications.
