7 Foods to REVERSE Kidney Damage (Must Watch)
06 Jan 2025
Today, we’re going to talk about kidney health. A big myth is that potassium is bad for the kidneys, but this isn't true! Our bodies require 4700 mg of potassium each day. The only time you’d want to avoid potassium is if you have advanced-stage kidney disease. Potassium protects kidney health in several ways. It helps lower high blood pressure, which damages the kidneys and protects against kidney stones. Too much sodium can be hard on the kidneys, but the remedy is more potassium. Many factors can contribute to kidney damage, including the following: •High sugar consumption •Alcohol •NSAIDs •Certain medications •Pesticides •Heavy metals •Food dyes •Phosphorus from soda A proper diet with adequate vitamin D, potassium, and magnesium can significantly improve kidney health. The following foods protect the kidneys from damage and support kidney health: 1. Vegetables: asparagus, celery, bell peppers, cabbage, cauliflower, garlic 2. Magnesium-rich foods: pumpkin seeds, leafy greens, avocadoes, magnesium glycinate 3. Probiotic-foods: kefir, yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi 4. Moderate amounts of high-quality protein 5. High-antioxidant foods: strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, beets 6. Quercetin: onions 7. Extra virgin olive oil Consuming tea is a great way to stay hydrated and support kidney health. Polyphenols found in tea are very beneficial for the kidney. Green, nettle, dandelion, turmeric, and decaffeinated black tea are all great options. Frequent eating can overtax the kidneys' filtration system. A low-carb diet and intermittent fasting are very beneficial for kidney health. Intermittent fasting can decrease the stress on the kidneys and significantly reduce insulin. Too much insulin can be damaging to the kidneys.
