New Delhi: Kidney detox has become a trendy health buzz. Many believe that some drinks, diets, and supplements can detox kidneys and improve health. While it might further its good health results, it is not validated scientifically; let’s clear away the myths from the reality. Dr.Bhanu Mishra, Consultant Nephrologist at BLK Max SuperSpeciality Hospital, listed some of the best tips to detox the kidneys naturally.
Myth 1: Detox Teas and Juices Cleanse the Kidneys
Many believe that herbal teas and detox juices flush out toxins from the kidneys. Quite the contrary, the kidneys their take care of all waste removal naturally and, therefore, do not need to be cleaned with exogenous detox products. Staying hydrated is necessary; however, no evidence supports the idea that specially made teas or juices greatly increase renal functions.
Myth 2: Apple Cider Vinegar Improves Kidney Health.
Apple cider vinegar is usually marketed because of its acidity, purportedly as good for the kidneys. While Apple Cider Vinegar may promote good digestion with small metabolic benefits, it can be very harmful to the kidneys if consumed in excess amounts, especially to patients suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD) or kidney stones.
Myth 3: Cranberry Juice Prevents All Kidney Problems.
Cranberry juice can help prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) by inhibiting bacteria from adhering to the bladder walls. That said, it does not flush out kidneys nor prevent kidney disease in any way. Plus, some commercially sold cranberry juices contain unnaturally high sugar levels, which beats the purpose.
