Kidneys exist in the body as a filter. The less harmful one enters the digestive organs, the less the load falls on the filters. Therefore, the diet should be dominated by products for the kidneys that benefit, clean and maintain the excretory system. Such food is ultimately beneficial for the whole body.

Useful products for the kidneys

A large number of useful products for the kidneys is in the vegetable-fruit group. And this is natural, because vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, are well absorbed, have a diuretic effect, do not irritate the mucous membranes of the urinary tract, protect against the formation of sand. It is clear that we are talking about ecologically clean products grown without the use of fertilizers and pesticides.

  1. Parsley, celery, carrots, other leafy vegetables, Bulgarian pepper, asparagus, sea buckthorn, contain vitamin A; essential oils dissolve stones.
  2. Pumpkin is a separate line in the list of products for the kidneys. Smoothies, cereals, mashed potatoes and other dishes remove excess fluid from the body.
  3. Watermelon - an indispensable product in the peak of the busy season. Effectively cleanses of sand, sates with vitamins.
  1. Apples with peel, plums are cleaned from poisons and kidneys, as well as the liver. Three apples a day can prevent the appearance of uric acid in high concentrations.

Rye bread of coarse grind also belongs to a group of friends of the kidneys. Vitamins and fiber improve digestion and metabolism, support the kidneys in their activity.

For a stable functioning of the body, you should drink 2 liters of plain water daily. To be afraid of an overdose it is not necessary: the kidneys themselves will get rid of excess. But if there is not enough fluid, they try to keep it "by force," and this leads to edema.

In addition to water, the kidneys need a liquid in the form of fresh juices, various teas, morsels. A sufficient number of these drinks can prevent the formation of kidney stones.

Kidney Recovery Products

Every minute human kidneys let through more than one and a half liters of blood. This is a lot, but while the body functions within the limits of the norm, then no one really thinks: how does it happen?

Ideally, and do not think about it, and this is possible if you follow simple rules: do not get carried away with alcohol, drink clean water, do not catch cold and do not burden the body, including poor-quality products for the kidneys. Then, you will not need products to restore the kidneys.

Useful products for kidney and bladder

If a lot is said about the kidneys, then the bladder is undeservedly circumvented by attention. But he is directly connected with them, so he reacts to the wrong diet and products for the kidneys.

Thus, lack of fluid leads to the formation of highly concentrated urine, which irritates the mucous membrane of the bladder. Fried and spicy food, alcoholic and carbonated drinks are also undesirable, and honey and sugar, large doses of caffeine, fatty cheeses and cream, citrus and pineapple can even be dangerous for this organ.

Useful products for the kidneys and bladder are as follows:

  1. Cranberry - for the prevention of stone formation, protection from infection.
  2. Apples, bananas, plums - with pectins remove toxins.
  3. Bran - rich in B vitamins, improving local blood supply.
  4. Rosehip - a source of vitamin C, supporting the tone of the walls.
  5. Seabuckthorn - restores the kidneys, supports the contractile function of the bladder.

  1. Pumpkin seeds - contain vitamin E, necessary for the regulation of accumulated fluid.
  2. Oily fish - delivers valuable fats and vitamin D.
  3. Herbal teas - help to eliminate poisons, cleanse from sand and salts.
  4. Water provides a normal process of formation and removal of urine, along with it - all harmful; reduces the risk of inflammation and cancer of these organs.
  5. Coffee, although containing caffeine, does not harm in limited doses, but helps the secretion organs: it rinses and, according to specialists, reduces the risk of bladder tumors by half.

Both the kidneys and the bladder should function in accordance with daily biorhythms: from morning and afternoon to work, and in the evening and at night - to rest. These requirements correspond to such a regime: we eat more heavy food in the first half of the day, and dietary food in the afternoon.

Harmful products for the kidneys

Harmful products for the kidneys are, first of all, many popular drinks: strong and not very alcohol, sodas, coffee. Pickles and marinades, smoked products and fast food in antireyting - also in the first places. All because they are stuffed with salt, without which long-term storage of such food products is impossible.

Excess salt (read - sodium) retains fluid and displaces potassium from the blood. This adversely affects the heart, and the appearance of a person is distorted due to the formation of edemas on the face.

Products with an abundance of protein components also overload the organ, therefore are considered undesirable products for the kidneys. They do not turn into simpler compounds, so they form slags and poisons. Especially the kidneys do not like old beef, pork meat, offal; they are saturated with iron, and its excess negatively affects the functions of the excretory organs.

  • With preventive purposes it is useful to resort to unloading days. But not to diets: the kidneys do not like stresses, even if they are for good, that is, for losing weight. By the way, when losing weight, the kidneys go down, which does not do them good. Also, salt-free, protein and other new-fashioned diets are undesirable for the kidneys.

Products containing vinegar and spicy condiments, irritate the ducts, lead to an increase in the amount of slag.

Alcohol destroys healthy cells, and that's it. Abuse is fraught with big troubles, up to kidney failure. Beer lovers should know that this, in the opinion of some, is a harmless drink, in fact it is very dehydrating the body and can provoke serious malfunctions in the work of the kidneys. So you can not abuse beer.

Even non-alcoholic drinks, such as coffee and carbonated water, are unacceptable to the kidneys, since they act as irritants of the urinary tract mucosa. And mineral water for medicinal purposes, the more you can not use without consulting a doctor.

Fans of early vegetables and greenery are recommended to wait and not attack greenhouse cucumbers-tomatoes, the first watermelons and fruits. Cultivated according to modern industrial methods, they are often oversaturated with chemicals that abruptly "beat" the kidneys and liver. The slags and poisons that form from such food accumulate in the body, since they are difficult to excrete.

Badly affect the system of some medicines, especially analgin, antibiotics.

There is a group of products for the kidneys considered controversial. These are various mushrooms, spicy spices, legumes. Healthy people are recommended to use them in small doses, with caution.

The liver and kidneys suffer greatly from the whims of the stomach and the bad habits of man. To get rid of them (that is, oneself) from unnecessary suffering is quite simple: you just have to give up unhealthy and poor-quality food, instead introduce the dishes from the products for the kidneys. They are enough, they are tasty, and most importantly useful - both to the kidneys, and to other organs and systems.
