The kidneys are one of the most important organs. Suspension of their function is incompatible with life. That is why healthy kidneys are extremely important for our quality of life. Yet, their functioning is often disturbed by various factors and diseases.
In this article, we will learn in detail:
- about this organ,
- about the diseases associated with it,
- about the ways to prevent such problems,
- how to keep your kidneys healthy,
- as well as some interesting facts about them.
What is the function?
The kidneys filter 150 liters of blood a day and excrete unnecessary toxins and water in the form of urine, which flows down the ureters to the bladder, accumulates in it, and at the appropriate time it is expelled from the body.
What is harmful to the kidneys?
Excessive consumption of foods containing protein and fructose is especially harmful to the kidneys, because they increase the content of urea and uric acid.
Besides, some medications, especially various painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs, which are widely used (especially if taken in combination with even a small amount of alcohol), cause serious kidney damage.
How to protect the kidneys?
Drink water:
First of all, water is the most important support for the kidneys. Water intake should be relatively evenly distributed throughout the day. Drink a small glass of water every 40-50 minutes.
You can drink filtered or table mineral water, which is slightly mineralized. Avoid highly mineralized water – generally, it is not suitable for daily consumption, especially those containing more fluoride.
- Eat healthy food:
There is a wide variety of foods that are good for the kidneys that are also delicious and easily available.
Very salutary are: red peppers, cherry tomatoes, cabbage and cauliflower, garlic, onion, lemon juice, pumpkin seeds, apples, sweet potatoes, watermelon, red and black grapes, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries.
Most of them are good to eat raw, in juice, smoothies, salads or steamed.
- Herbs:
Various herbs and spices also support and heal the kidneys: ginger (purifies the blood and increases metabolism), the herb red clover, turmeric, the herb Chanca Piedra, dandelion, nettle, rose, goldenrod, juniper, yarrow.
Of course, each of these herbs has a specific way of intake and can be combined with others in different ways. They can be used as spices for food, others as decoctions and tea, and others – in the form of food supplements.
