Consuming fruits

Consuming fruits, vegetables, water, and other fluids helps the kidneys cleanse themselves. Before we get into specific foods and herbs to help cleanse your kidneys, it is important remember the importance of water for your body's, and kidney's, health.

Watermelon – Watermelon contains 92% water by weight. This makes it a very good fruit to eat to help your body to flush the kidneys. 

Flushing the kidneys causes your body to produce more urine and remove more waste from your body. In addition, it is also an amazing source of potassium, which is a mineral salt that can help to dissolve kidney stones allowing the residue to be passed.

Lemons– Lemons are naturally acidic and have been proven to increase citrate levels in your urine, which helps prevent kidney stones from forming. Adding freshly squeezed lemon juice to your water throughout the day can help you not only stay hydrated, but allow you to consume more lemons throughout the day, plus it tastes great too!

Water – Proper hydration is especially important for proper kidney function. Drinking plenty of water on a daily basis improves the functioning of kidneys. Maintaining the proper 64 ounces of water throughout the day is important for the body. Make sure you are not drinking too much water throughout the day though.

The kidneys are important organs with many functions in the body, including producing hormones, absorbing minerals, producing urine, clearing waste from the body, regulating water fluid levels and filtering blood in the body.

Pitaya fruit contains no cholesterol or saturated fat, some fiber, and little sugar. They do, however, contain polyphenols, which are thought to potentially reduce the risk of some cancers!

Pitaya fruit comes in two main varieties, the sweet version (pitaya dulce) and the sour version (pitaya agria). 

The sweet variety is much more popular thanks to its mildly sweet taste, creamy pulp, delicate scent, and a slight tartness. Its texture and taste is comparable to kiwi or watermelon. The sour variety has a stronger taste with a sour, yet refreshing, juicier flesh. Both varieties have black seeds in the flesh, much like kiwi, that contribute a slight nutty taste, pleasing crunch, and fiber to bootcactus,. 

Pitaya’s bright red color and unique, leathery, leafy skin makes this fruit stand out. So it’s no wonder that it is quickly becoming popular for its mildly sweet flavor, various nutrition benefits, and flexibility in recipes.
