If you are here to improve your kidney health, I have great news for you.
If you drink this kidney cleanse every morning for 5 days, as a part of a healthy diet and
lifestyle, it will help you lower your creatinine levels and kickstart your kidneys for the
whole day!
Yes, if you drink just a cup of this every day, you're going to get huge benefits for
your heart and your kidneys: it has blood pressure lowering properties,
it's alkaline and it also has diuretic properties to detox
your kidneys.
So today, in this short video, I'll show you everything you need to make this very simple
and cheap kidney cleanse.
My name is Katherine and this is 00kidney.
I've been working with kidney disease patients for 7 years, now.
And if there's one thing that I'm 100% sure about is that when you do your best to improve
your kidney health, you're going to have much better results than you can imagine.
This is not the first kidney cleanse I've posted here on 00kidney, and I know that many
of you are already having great result with my old cleanse.
But this one is going to be even better!
So share this video with anyone you know that may suffer from chronic kidney disease!
Maybe this cleanse can help them too!
And also, tell me in comment section if you have tried my cleanse and if it worked for
you too!
Ok, let's see what ingredients you need and how to prepare this very powerful kidney cleanse.
First of all, Celery.
One of the healthiest veggies in the world, Celery is often dismissed as an "empty" food,
but it's actually full of magnesium, calcium and vitamins A, B, C and K.
It's incredibly healthy, and ... maybe you didn't know this, but celery is the best friend
of your urinary tract.
Celery has long been used as a traditional remedy to treat UTIs, because it's a mild
diuretic and it also has powerful antimicrobial properties.
So it can help us getting rid of the bacteria that cause kidney infections.
Celery also contains compounds called phthalides, which have powerful blood pressure lowering
properties.
These phthalides relax the smooth muscle surrounding the arterial walls, cutting the work your
heart does to pump blood throughout your body.
Phthalides also decrease the production of stress hormones, reducing symptoms of hypertension.
This is why, if you have kidney problems, a celery cleanse can be a lifesaver.
Now, we need just a couple of stalks.
Each one of these contains just 30mg potassium, making it safe for every kidney patient.
A quick disclaimer since we are talking about safety: if you have chronic kidney disease
or if you take prescription drugs, always consult your doctor before doing any significant
change to your diet.
Today's cleanse is pretty safe, it's just fruit and veggies, but better be safe.
Now, wait a moment before putting the stalks in the blender, I also want to show you a
nice trick to make these greens even healthier.
But first, let's see our second ingredient:
Lemon Another incredibly healthy and undervalued
superfood.
Ok, I don't know if you can find this kind of lemon where you live, here in Italy we
have these big, exceptionally tasty lemons.
These are organic lemons coming from a place called Sorrento, famous for cultivating these
citrus fruits in arbor gardens.
Now, if you cannot find one of these where you live, just get a regular lemon.
All lemons are healthy, alright?
Actually, if you have kidney disease, lemon should be a staple of your diet.
Everything about it is healthy for you.
The pith, which is usually discarded, has health benefits too.
It's full of antioxidants, healthy nutrients and soluble fiber.
Actually, it's where most of the fiber of the lemon is.
Now, adding more fiber to your diet is a great way to improve your kidney health, because
your body needs really a lot fiber.
Even the peel of the lemon is healthy and tasty.
It contains flavonoids, vitamin C and D-limonene, an enzyme that can help you lower bad cholesterol
So, today I'm going to use the whole lemon for my cleanse, ok?
We're not going to juice this lemon, we'll blend half of it.
That's a tasty way to truly capture all the benefits that citrus fruits can provide.
Now, if you want to use the peel, make sure the lemons you buy are organic, because organic
fruits are going to have a lot less pesticides.
And I know that some of you are not confident in eating the peel of the fruit, because it
can contain pesticides.
Now, there's nothing wrong in trying to avoid ingesting chemicals and toxins, in fact removing
toxins from the body is what a kidney cleanse is based on.
But there's also a simple trick you can use to get rid to all these dangerous pesticides
Actually, just rinsing with tap water doesn't remove pesticides from the surface of fruit
and veggies good enough.
This is why we are going to let them soak In water and baking soda for about 5 minutes,
And then you rinse.
You're going to get rid of all the most commonly used pesticides.
And this is not some old wives' tale, you know, there's science to support this method
of rinsing fruit and veggies.
To do it right, use about 3 teaspoons of baking soda per liter of water, or 4 cups.
You can rinse everything here and it will be safe.
Our next ingredient: Green apple!
This particular apple is lower in sugar than the red variety, making it a great choice
for people suffering from diabetes! and apples, in general, may help in a kidney
cleanse because they reduce the feeling for hunger.
Now the incredible part: One study has shown that eating an apple a
day may be almost as effective as taking a statin drug at reducing the risk for heart
disease.
And there's more: The pectin that apples contain acts as a prebiotic
and may promote the growth of good bacteria in your gut!
But to get all these benefits we will want to put the apple in the blender with the peel!
Never remove the peel because that's where half of the dietary fiber and most of the
vitamins of apples are!
So, here's another tip, don't juice fruit and veggies, these machines throw away all
the healthiest part of the food and leave you with you know what?
Sugar!
So use a blender, not a juicer.
As you have seen, the healthiest part of the fruit is the peel, so don't waste it.
So, for now, let's put it in the baking soda water with the other ingredients.
Last but not least, Cilantro!
Cilantro is a herb related to parsley that has been used by Ayurveda medicine for thousands
of years.
It fights infections, helps to lower Blood Sugar Levels, Prevents Urinary Tract Infections,
Reduces Anxiety, soothe skin rashes, improves digestion and has many other health benefits...
As an added bonus, cilantro is also exceptionally rich in iron!
This is great for people suffering from anemia, especially if you get this iron as a part
of the cleanse.
You know, all the vitamin C of the lemon is really going to help your body absorbing the
iron from cilantro.
Yes, I really like cilantro.
It even helps lowering blood sugar levels, especially if used in a kidney cleanse like
the one we're making today.
Let's not forget that DIABETES and high insulin level are the number one cause of kidney disease.
So if we want a powerful way to reduce creatinine levels naturally we need to work on our blood
sugar levels too.
And this definitely can help us.
Ok, let's soak the cilantro too for 5 minutes here and... we're almost ready!
Now, if you want to know everything about the best herbs, remedies and cleanses for
kidney disease patients, you should definitely take a look at this program.
A lot of people here are using this to improve their kidney function and lower their creatinine
levels.
There are some very inspiring success stories here on 00kidney,

So, what's the best way to do the 5 days cleanse as a kidney patient?
This cleanse consists in 5 days where you eliminate less healthy foods and instead focus
on eating nutrient-rich whole foods that are filling and satisfying.
Ideally, you should replace a less healthy meal with this cleanse.
You can have it in the morning if you want or, for example,
if you're used to eat processed grains or other packaged foods for dinner, have a cup
of this instead.
Preparation is going to be really easy.
I have already washed everything.
So, let's put in the blender two stalks of celery, roughly chopped
A green apple, with the peel.
I'll just cut the apple in four slices and remove the core.
Let's put the slices in the blender - 3 ice cubes, to make it more refreshing
Now, I have Half cup of water here, that's a little bit more than half glass.
I'll just add a little bit of it...
And let's start blending for about ten seconds
Ok, now I'll also add the half lemon, with the peel
Let's cut it and add it to the blender And the Half cup of cilantro,
Now let's give it another ten seconds
And then, add the rest of the water, until we reach the right consistency.
That's all.
Now, you want to make this really smooth, alright?
so give it a full minute if you have a fast blender and even two if you have a regular
old blender.
Ok, guys, if you want to know the nutritional values of all these foods, take a look at
the description below.
There's also the full recipe, if you want to transcribe or save it.
Done, let's just put it in this glass and taste it!
Mmmm it's a little bit bitter, but I like it this way!
But, you know, if you feel like this kidney cleanse is too bitter for your taste, you
can add a little bit of stevia. it's safe if used in small amounts, unlike
many other sweeteners.
But I prefer the cleanse unsweetened.
This is all for today, Thank you for watching!
