People now-a-days are fond of availing and consuming fast foods and artificial drinks which are not always good for the health, especially those that are full of sugar and chemicals which harm the body and at the same time, require some extra work or exercise in order to process or digest them. The best remedy to this is to cleanse our organs which are most affected.
The function of the kidneys has been underestimated most of the time but, what we do not know is that, it works way harder than we thought. Filtering liquids in our bodies is the most common and known function of our kidneys but they are also responsible for producing hormones, cleaning the blood, handling toxins from air, food and water, keeping your complexion clear and adjusting your metabolism in order to maintain the ideal body weight. By this, would you still take your kidneys for granted?
Thus, we ought to take good care of our kidneys because they are important. We also have to give them a little rest, once in a while, by doing a detox.
Below are the things to consider telling whether you have a kidney problem or imbalance:
- You have already had kidney stones in the past.
- You are gaining unexplained body weight and feel bloated all the time
- You feel physical pain in the lower back area
- You have frequent UTI problems and infections
- You feel tired and fatigued all the time
- You have skin problems, such as: acne, eczema or rash
- You have hormonal imbalance and mood swings
Once you feel these symptoms, we suggest you start the kidney detox and repeat it everytime the symptoms reoccur. Meanwhile, if you would like to prevent yourself from having kidney misbalance, it is suggested to do the detox at least once a year.
Below are the 3 juice recipes for kidney detox:
1. Clear Kidney Watermelon Flush

Blend the watermelon and lime and there you've got a perfect drink full of Vitamin C, potassium and mineral salt which functions as a diuretic and helps you flush out toxins and even small kidney stones.
2. Power of Two Recipes

The 90% water content in cucumbers together with the beta-carotene of carrots will nourish your body, provide you with the needed nutrients and flush out the excess of uric acid, which is known to cause kidney stones.
3. Super Radish Kidney Detox
