7 Foods to REVERSE Kidney Damage (Must Watch)

let's talk about the seven best foods to prevent and reverse kidney damage the kidney is a filter this one on the left is a dirty kidney this one on the right is a clean kidney we're going to show you how to go from this to this using Foods I think the biggest myth about the kidney is this topic of pottassium I don't know how this started but people tend to think that potassium is really bad for the kidney you have to avoid potassium foods if you want to protect the kidney that is absolutely not true

potassium actually protects the kidney from damage the only time you wouldn't want to take potassium is when you started to get Advanced stage kidney disease you need to consume a lot of potassium since our bodies require 4700 milligrams a day a couple ways that the potassium helps the kidney other than directly protecting kidney damage is this potassium lowers your blood pressure and having high blood pressure is one of the main things that destroys the kidney if you have an imbalance with sodium and you don't have enough potassium that can also be hard in the kidney

the way to handle the sodium on the kidney is simply to increase your potassium potassium can help protect you against kidney stones because it can lower the incidence of oxalates binding with calcium the real bad things that damage the kidney number one and this is the biggest one consuming a lot of sugar starches things like that because all that sugar in your blood ends up in the kidney and it creates a lot of oxidation and you can visualize that as something that's rusting out the kidney damaging that little filter other things that will destroy the

kidney alcohol nids like ibuprofen medications a lot of medications are synthetic prazone or even antibiotics getting too many pesticides from the foods heavy metals food dyes and too much phosphorus from soda really damaging to the kidney being in the right diet with enough vitamin D and pottassium and even magnesium can greatly help that I'm going to show you all the different foods that you should be eating that can help reverse a lot of the things I'm talking about number one is really a category of key vegetables that are really important with kidney function asparagus some

people don't like it but if you can consume it it's really good for the kidney it has a certain enzyme that helps to detoxify the kidneys the next vegetable I would recommend is celery celery also has things in it to greatly improve kidney function bell peppers are loaded with vitamin C and a lot of other good nutrients for the kidney cabbage is another really good vegetable for the kidney cauliflower is another great vegetable garlic is loaded with allisin which is really good for kidney function there are plenty of other vegetables but these are the ones

that are very low in something called oxalates spinach is high in oxalates you can have spinach but I would recommend having it with cheese because those oxalates could irritate the kidney and the most common kidney stone is calcium oxalate stones and one great remedy remedy for that is increasing your magnesium this number two magnesium rich foods pumpkin seeds anything leafy greens avocados are all high in magnesium I would as a side note also consume magnesium glycinate at least 400 milligrams per day because that magnesium also helps protect the kidney and it does a lot of

additional things for the kidney indirectly number three Probiotic foods kefir yogurt sauerkraut kimchi on top of that there are two microbes that have a unique property helping increase a certain enzyme to get rid of excessive Ura which is a waste product the first one is lactobacillus casc and bifidobacterium Lum both of those have been extensively used to help take the stress off the kidney I would highly recommend them number four having not just a high quality protein Source also not overdoing it adding more protein could stress it out a little bit more if you're seeing

excess waste from protein in your blood or your urine you're consuming too much protein cut down the amount of protein you don't want to go low you want to go a moderate amount of protein maybe you do six to seven ounces per meal and as far as the source goes wild caught fish sardines and cod liver would also give you the omega-3 that's good for the kidney as well and then also eggs number five high antioxidant Foods blueberries blackberries raspberries St strawberries beets are really good for the kidney as well to counter some of this

rusting out effect that happens just having high blood sugar or other things number six coratin coratin has some really great properties for the kidney and the best source of coratin is white onions red onions I consume a lot of onions and you can sauté them eat them raw cors tin has an anti-inflammatory effect it also then will prevent scar tissue in the kidney it tends to put the fire out if there's oxidative stress so just cook your eggs with onions or add onions to the meal and number seven extra virgin olive oil when it comes

to olive oil there are certain things in olive oil certain chemical compounds that are just Dynamite for inflammation kidney support and it's even good for kidney stones and I've sampled a lot of different olive oils and there's a lot of good ones out there and of course my favorite is the one from Italy I will put a link down below of the one that I use it's off the charts as far as quality as far as drinking liquid it's also true if you're consuming too much liquid that's not good for the kidney because it causes

the kidney to work too hard you need that sweet spot right in the middle one additional little tip I'm going to recommend when you drink liquid pre-make some tea keep it in the fridge and consume tea as your main liquid because the polyphenols in tea do a lot for the kidney these polyphenols also can bind with excessive iron that can damage damage the kidney and of course I'm not just recommending getting the tea that has the most caffeine or any caffeine but there's a lot of different teas that can help the kidney green tea but

if I'm not mistaken green tea might have caffeine so you might want to not overdo that one nettle tea is a great anti-inflammatory tea dandelion tea is really good as well it'll help act as a diuretic to get rid of excess fluid turmeric tea or even a black tea that is naturally decaffinated the last point I want to make is think about this the kidney is a filter of your blood and you're eating food frequently it is going to overtax the filtration it's not a bad idea to do intermittent fasting to support the kidney for

two reasons number one you can decrease the stress in the kidney by just not forcing it to work so hard and secondly intermittent fasting will drop insulin considerably to the point where your kidneys can start to heal because one of the big culprits for damage to your kidneys is too much insulin you definitely want to do a combination of low carb intermittent fasting with this program and if you want information on that you can check out this video on fasting right here
