- Our kidneys play an extremely vital role in our health.
- They remove waste products and excess fluid from our bodies through our urine. According to the National Kidney Foundation, “The production of urine involves highly complex steps of excretion and re-absorption. This process is necessary to maintain a stable balance of body chemicals.”
- This juice is rich in ingredients that promote kidney health.
- Cranberries:
- They help make the urine acidic, which kills bacteria that causes infections.
- Cucumbers:
- They keep the body hydrated, flushing out toxins from the kidney and regulate the amount of uric acid in the body, which helps prevent kidney stones.
- Celery:
- It helps detoxify the kidneys, promoting optimal kidney health.
- Parsley:
- It is a natural diuretic, which means it increases urine output, which increases the flow of fluids in the kidneys and flushes out toxins.
- Process the following ingredients in a blender:
- 1 cup of cranberries
- 1/2 a cucumber
- 1 stalk of celery
- a handful of parsley
- Make sure ingredients are organic.
- Enjoy!
