Celery,  horseradish and radishes are powerful 'blood purifier' that are friendly to your kidneys. The above plants can maintain the health of your kidneys.
In addition to the regular consumption of these plants for healthy kidneys need restrict salt intake, the processed meats and sugary drinks. This procedure significantly reduces the risk of kidney stones



The kidneys are organs that boys shape of the beans, and the size of men's hands. These bodies have the perfect mechanism for the processing of various substances, and their task is to maintain the blood clean from toxins.
Daily through urine eliminate waste products and water. Kidney function is extremely important, because if you keep up with your homework, waste products accumulate in the blood and cause uremia.


Daily pass through the kidneys and important substances such as electrolytes and minerals. The kidneys maintain their balance. Kidneys decide how much sodium, potassium and phosphorus retained in the body, and how much will be extracted.

Kidneys except regulation of water and electrolyte and have some additional functions such as the release of the three vital hormones important for the synthesis of red blood cells, participating in the regulation of arterial blood of pressure and maintenance of the optimal level of calcium in the body.The balance of mentioned substances essential for optimal health.

Healthy kidneys have a large reserve capacity and can cope with and the most unhealthy diet, you can eliminate a large amount of harmful substances. However, every organ in the body has its limits. If you terrorizing your body every day, and if in your family, there are people with diseased kidneys, have to be very careful. You need to keep your kidneys, pay attention to diet and regular control of their function. A large number of kidney disease is hereditary.
If renal function begins to decline, caused various problems. Namely, then the kidney can no longer be so effectively throw all the harmful substances that occur in our body and is necessary to help him in the form of customized nutrition.

Food that is undesirable for your kidneys
Although each person is special biochemical individual, there are certain nutrients that need attention when it comes to the health of the kidneys. Primarily must be controlled intake of protein and phosphorus in the diet, but also pay attention to the sodium and phosphorus. Smart is a diet plan created in collaboration with a physician or nutritionist. However, certain changes in your diet have to do it yourself.

First of all it is necessary to limit the amount of protein in the diet, as it will help in reducing the production of waste. In short, there is less load on the kidneys, which keeps its backup capability. How much protein daily may enter depends on the severity of the condition, but of course sometimes you need to choose animal foods such as meat, fish, eggs, milk and dairy products because they provide all the amino acids needed by the body. With milk and dairy products still should not be exaggerated because of the high levels of phosphorus.

The balance of calcium and phosphorus is important in the body for the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. But if the kidneys are not working optimally, phosphorus can accumulate in the blood and cause a'' pull'' of calcium from the bones. In addition, high levels of phosphorus can cause a number of symptoms, such as pain in the bones and muscles, and heart failure and the occurrence of life-threatening arrhythmias. It is therefore necessary to limit the intake of foods rich in phosphorus, such as meat, nuts, seeds, legumes, and milk and cheese. Many carbonated beverages, are rich in phosphorus and is necessary to forget about them.

Sodium in the diet comes mainly from salt. The limitation of salt intake helps control blood pressure and prevents the retention (retention) in the body fluid. Processed and canned foods also contain large amounts of sodium, so it is important to be sure to read the declaration on product. Some mineral waters can be high in sodium. If it is related to the sodium bicarbonate does not have an adverse effect on arterial blood pressure. On the contrary, the mineral water has a rich bicarbonate proven beneficial effect on blood pressure.

The sick kidneys are not able to effectively eliminate the potassium which leads to an excessive build-up in his blood. Increased potassium is the biggest risk in kidney disease. Increased potassium threatens your life and can lead to fatal heart rhythm disturbances. Increased potassium is one of the factors why people with kidney failure go on dialysis.

Bananas, oranges, potatoes and tomatoes are potent sources of potassium, but it contains other fruits and vegetables in larger or smaller amounts, so caution is necessary in the composition of the menu.

An important part of the diet seems adequate fluid intake. Healthy kidneys is not a problem if a person drinks a day for two to three liters of water. On the contrary, water is necessary for the normal functioning of the kidneys and removal of poisons. However, contrary to the situation in healthy people, in people with kidney disease must be reduced and controlled intake of fluids and electrolytes.
