Tips to Keep Kidneys Healthy

There are several preventative measures that can be taken to keep the kidneys healthy. The kidneys are self-cleansing, so the most important thing you can do is to stay properly hydrated every day with pure, clean water. In addition, parsley tea and pure cranberry juice are natural cleansers for the kidneys. Eliminate sodas and energy drinks. These drinks are hard on the kidneys and often lead to kidney stone formation. Keep your cholesterol in check and stay at a healthy weight. Drink plenty of pure water. If you live in areas with hard water – buy a good filter, never drink water straight from the tap. Hard water is full of extra minerals that can be hard for the kidneys to process fully. Don't worry, if you eat a healthy diet you likely won't become mineral deficient. Keep blood sugar levels under control. Avoid smoking and drink alcohol only in moderation.

Try This Simple Detox Drink

10 oz. Water 1 tbsp. Honey 2 tbsp Lemon Juice 1/4 tsp. Turmeric How It Works-- The reason why detox drinks work well is partly because of the continuous intake of antioxidants. If you were to eat a meal with a high antioxidant content, the oxidants don’t stick around for very long and are rapidly excreted by your kidneys. Green tea antioxidants work for an hour or two and so do most other water-soluble antioxidants. When you consume them continuously in a drink however, the effects are much more renounced and you start to feel the benefits of the detox. This detox drink works very well, because of the cleansing power of honey, mixed with the acidity of lemon juice and it’s vitamin c content. Turmeric rapidly removes toxins from the liver and some cultures even use it as a hangover remedy, as it cleanses all the toxins that are created as by produces of alcohol breakdown.
