Our Kidneys Filter 200 liters of blood each day, with no break or rest. 75% of the world’s population is chronically dehydrated, and this puts a horrible strain on our kidneys.
This smoothie is full of kidney nourishing fruits that make for a delicious way to cleanse the kidneys. Bananas are full of potassium that is good for filtering excess calcium out of your urine, excess amounts of calcium put you at risk for kidney stones. Bananas are also full of magnesium; a diet high in calcium and low in magnesium can cause calcium to contribute to kidney stone formation. Magnesium prevents calcium from combining with oxalate, reducing the formation of crystals that result in common types of kidney stones.
Kiwis are another fruit that is high in potassium; they are good for making sure your kidneys are functioning properly.
