• What are the best "kidney friendly" foods?

    Your kidneys filter almost 200 liters of blood every day - the hardest work your organs
    perform - and only begin to think about it once there is a problem.

    Sadly, it's the case of the kidneys.
    Yet, when it comes to improving your organs' performance, food is one of the most
    important aspects.

    When the kidneys are not in the best shape, the focus should be shifted to low potassium, low phosphorus, and low protein diets, because unhealthy kidneys cannot
    properly process them.

    This is where cauliflower steps in - one of the most versatile products that is also rich in
    vitamin C, yet very low in both of these elements.

    It is closely followed by cabbage - an affordable, underestimated product containing
    substances that help detoxify without overworking your kidneys.
    Red bell peppers are another valuable addition as they contain vitamin C and antioxidants and are quite low in potassium.

    There is no point of including blueberries into one's diet for trend purposes but rather for
    the anti-inflammatory qualities of this superfood.
    Garlic is another substitute for using excessive amounts of salt when preparing food -
    which, as everyone knows, helps with the condition of one's heart and kidneys. Egg whites contain good proteins with less phosphorus than the egg yolks and whole
    eggs or even meat products.

    Fish, such as salmon or mackerel, can give you necessary omega-3 fatty acids that will
    decrease the inflammation throughout the body including kidneys.
    And olive oil is one more great option, providing the necessary fats without overworking
    your body.

    Of course, all this will be effective only when coupled with drinking plenty of water which
    is crucial for your kidneys to work properly.

    And finally, the answer has always been there.

    Throughout centuries, nature has offered the answers we seek and there is a secret to
    finding those foods that were used as a natural medicine by our ancestors.

    They helped us survive, and now, knowing the root causes of diseases, these superfoods
    help to heal yourself.
