A list of foods that naturally cleanse your kidneys.
The kidneys are two of the most important organs in the human body, and sit just below the rib cage
These filter 200 litres of fluid per day, by cleaning the blood,
removing waste and creating urine.
They also make certain hormones, balance fluids in the body,
help to feed internal organs with plasma, and regulate ions.
Unfortunately as we get older the kidneys can become weaker and damaged by oxidation,
which can lead to kidney disease, kidney stones and infections.

Remember that the adult human body is composed of almost
60% water. Every single organ needs lots of water to function.
The kidneys require lots of water to filter toxins from the body
and excrete urine, so ensure that you are drinking lots of mineral water each day.
When your water intake is low, urine volume is low
which can lead to kidney dysfunction, kidney stones and infections.
As a bonus we would also recommend hydrangea extract as a supplement. This is a flowering shrub
known for its beautiful flowers. Studies show that this has a protective effect
on the kidney and bladder.
