The kidneys are deceptively complex organs with many important roles. These bean-shaped organs filter the blood, eliminating waste and excess fluid.
They sit just below the ribs and behind the abdominal wall on either side of your spine. You have two, and they are each about four or five inches long, about the size of a large fist.
They eliminate the acid that the cells produce in order to maintain the body's fluid, salt, and mineral balance.
Dietary changes can aid the kidneys' own detoxification processes.
Those with kidney disease may have heard that a diet high in superfoods is essential. In this video, we'll go over which foods are best for maintaining healthy kidney function.

️ Summary:
Cabbage.
This cruciferous vegetable is an excellent source of many essential nutrients and a genuine superfood. The scientific community is interested in this green leafy vegetable because of its positive effects on health in general and kidney health in particular.
About 20 milligrams of sodium, 160 milligrams of potassium, and 30 milligrams of phosphorus can be found in one cup of shredded cabbage. Because of its balanced nutritional profile, cabbage is a great food choice for people who need to limit their potassium and phosphorus intake to protect their kidneys.
Blueberries & Cranberries.
Colorful and sweet-tart, berries are one of nature's most delectable treats. Did you know that the abundance of nutrients they provide is also great for your kidney health? Blueberries and cranberries, two of the most well-liked berries, contain a number of beneficial nutrients.
Cranberries contain unique and vital phytonutrients. In order to avoid kidney and urethral infections, these unique antioxidants reduce bacterial loads in the urinary tract. When considering the link between UTIs and kidney infections and the complications that can arise from both, the importance of cranberries becomes clear.
Red Bell Peppers.
Because of their crunchiness and their sweet, tangy flavor, red bell peppers are a popular addition to many dishes.
Red bell peppers are a good choice for people with kidney disease due to their low potassium content and high vitamin A and C content. Less than 2 milligrams of sodium, 210 milligrams of potassium, and 30 milligrams of phosphorus can be found in a medium-sized red bell pepper.
Pineapple.
Pineapples, with their unique blend of sweet, sour, and exotic flavors, offer a refreshingly novel approach to maintaining healthy kidney function. These fruits are not only tasty, but also beneficial to your kidneys thanks to the nutrients they contain.
Pineapples are better for people with kidney disease because they contain less phosphorus, potassium, and sodium than other fruits like oranges, bananas, and kiwis. Consuming these minerals in excess can put a strain on already compromised kidneys. Therefore, pineapple can be a healthy choice for those who want to satisfy their fruit cravings but are worried about their kidneys.
Garlic.
Garlic's popularity and adaptability have made it a common ingredient in homes around the world. The kidneys benefit greatly from the nutrients found in garlic.
The amount of sodium, potassium, and phosphorus in three cloves of garlic is very low. It's a great addition to diets promoting kidney health because of its low sodium and potassium content.
Garlic is also a good source of manganese and vitamin B6. Manganese aids in the metabolism of fat and carbohydrates, facilitates the absorption of calcium, and regulates blood sugar. The kidneys benefit from vitamin B6 because it helps in the production of new red blood cells and neurotransmitters.
