10 Top Beverages to Help Detox Your Kidneys
While the liver has a very high regenerative capacity the same cannot be said for the kidneys
It is indeed a fascinating organ but it has a drawback—the kidney functio
worsens in every individual over the course of life which is why we must completely
Pay special attention to what liquids we consume and whether they
are beneficial or harmful to our kidneys
In this video we'll take a closer look at kidney function and understand which beverages
Foods that benefit the kidneys and those we should avoid to reduce strain on them
And at the end of the video we’ll also address
the one question that everyone is probably wondering about
If you were to conduct a survey in a pedestrian zone and ask what is
If you asked people to name an organ most would probably say
the kidney is an excretory
organ—but that's incorrect
The kidney is in fact a reabsorption organ and it functions somewhat differently
like the liver which releases toxins into the
bloodstream that have already been detoxified
With the kidneys it works like this: we produce what is known as primary urine meaning the kidneys
First it filters out a specific component from
the blood which also contains many very beneficial substances
And these substances are then reabsorbed again after which the kidney excretes a few additional substances that must be eliminated
Substances are extracted and the entire mixture is then highly concentrated by removing water once more
That is then the so-called urine which we ultimately excrete
The kidney's function is not primarily about eliminating substances but rather
First filter then reabsorb substances
Let's take a closer look at the kidneys and how they are structured
We have what are known as the nephrons where urine is filtered and the urine that is
It is then excreted through this
ureter which you can see below and thus reaches the bladder
And here you see the Baumann capsule which is the smallest functional unit of the kidney where
e primary urine is squeezed out directly from the
smallest blood vessels forming these yellow dots
Then the kidney exhibits an extremely high reabsorption
capacity which we will examine carefully on a diagram shortly
And blood vessels play a particularly important role in the kidney specifically the smallest ones
We have approximately 60 000 to 120 000 kilometers of blood vessels in our body depending on the individual
what kind of literature one reads and what is relevant to the kidney is precisely what is being discussed here
The nephron the smallest
functional unit of the kidney plays a central role
And here is where blood purification takes place with approximately 1 to 1 5 million of them
Nephrons perform in principle the primary function of filtration
That means right here where this small tangle is—this knot of blood vessels—exactly there
by the blood pressure water was squeezed out and soluble substances such as salts for example
or nitrogen waste amino acids even sugars all passing through these tiny pores here
Blood vessels through like a filter but precisely the large molecules such as blood cells
or large molecules such as proteins are retained
here and remain in the blood
And then we have this collection chamber here known as the Baumann capsule and the
In principle this first filtrate goes a bit deeper right where you're standing
look here something interesting is happening—right now reabsorption is taking place there
It then reabsorbs salts glucose and other nutrients back into the bloodstream
They are then actively retrieved again through a kind of membrane and remain
contained within the body which is essentially the kidney's
primary function as I initially explained
And further down where the 3 is additional materials will then be dispensed there
at's when the kidney's actual detoxifying function comes into play but you can see it really
It's a blood vessel function if you will where waste
products are released and where pH balance is also regulated
What exactly is being excreted here For instance uric
acid urea and these substances which are then expelled
travels down to the kidney where a particularly special process takes place one that mus
of course water can still be extracted meaning that in the lower sections water will then be removed
A significant water loss occurs causing us to excrete this highly concentrated urine
You may have also noticed when you were thirsty and hadn't had anything to drink
ave had dark concentrated urine for an extended period
Of course the kidney requires water to carry out its functions meaning it needs water around the blood vessels
o clean them keeping the blood vessels alive—this task requires her
Water severe dehydration meaning if you don't drink water it actually leads to
oo severe kidney damage and dying after three days without water—now comes the big question:
how much water do we actually need and there's always the fascinating answer to that
Recommendation of 1.5 to 2 liters flat but there was a 2023 study where researchers
en precisely evaluated how much water we actually need and first of all
is generally the case that it depends first on lifestyle and environmental factors
also where they live and physical factors so we can't really answer this question so easily
answer Interestingly adults between the ages of 20 and 40 need the most water
These researchers studied over 5 000 individuals aged between 8 days and 96 years across 26
analyzing countries around the globe reveals truly astonishing insights here
at is the amount we humans need to drink depends on a whole range of factors
Factors vary greatly and this is truly highly individual For instance certain aspects play a crucial role
whether they are physically active whether they are a man whether they are a woman whether they are somewhere
living at that elevation and here we can see how water demand then adjusts accordingly For example
You're now seeing increased physical activity with a worker requiring an additional 1 000 milliliters
also one more liter Someone who weighs 50 kilograms more than the rest of the population or
above his normal weight requiring an additional 700 milliliters of water and the resulting increase in
Humidity around 50 percent—there we need 300 milliliters more water and if we do this now
It's not just about converting it incorrectly when we look at a specific example we can see how it actually appears here
Suppose we are now living in a wealthy industrialized country at sea level
we have a moderate air temperature of 10 degrees and 50 percent humidity which means we now need the
A 20-year-old man weighing 70 kilograms who is not physically active consuming approximately 3.7 liters per day
It's what's known as water transfer meaning everything in some way is counted
Contains moisture such as fruits vegetables and so on amounting to 3.7 liters per day there
And with the woman also the same age 10 kilograms lighter not athletic it's then one liter less
for instance and now let's take a look at a poor developing country situated at 2 000 meters above sea level
s located with a mean air temperature of 30 degrees and humidity at 90 percent—what could possibly be expected of us here
roduce Bolivia Ethiopia Kenya something like that and there we have the same situation aga
and they observe that the water transfer in men is nearly twice as high at 7.3 liters per day
6.8 liters per day for the woman Now many people are asking whether it actually
drinking a bit more water keeps us healthier and no one has ever been healthier than a healthy person is now
Clear answer: no according to a Canadian study which therefore calculated tha
Water intake still required at 1 to 1 5 liters for individuals with healthy kidneys which is then used in laboratories and in
made no difference in the kidney values whether the
e kidney functions better whether it can eliminate toxins more effectively and so on thus the
offers absolutely no clear advantage especially since in the 90s there was
just a book by a doctor along the lines of we're not sick we're just thirsty and one should jus
supplying endless amounts of water clearly wrong Something even worse could happen—you might end up
Thinning the blood further could mean you end up developing a sodium level that's too low
and it's definitely not healthy either But now let's ask ourselves is it actually healthy to consume more
Drinking water when you have kidney disease—and here's the clear answer: yes if you're here a
In the early stage of kidney disease most studies show that whe
Increase fluid intake throughout the day when urine output improves as this will help maintain hydration
progressive deterioration slows down and that in itself brings advantages Simply put what matters most is tha
You must discuss this with your doctor as in the final stages of kidney disease one receives
a drinking limit meaning that here one is allowed to consume only a very specific amount remaining
Drink water and speak with your doctor What I've said basically concerns the
Early stage of kidney disease A superb drink for the kidneys is cranberry juice
Cranberries which are relatives of lingonberries known in German as Moosbeeren are native to North America
Widely available cranberries naturally contain high levels of antioxidants and minerals
especially vitamins C and E are particularly popular and can help prevent
Urinary tract infections serve a purpose as scientific studies have shown
Compounds in cranberries prevent bacteria from adhering to the urinary tract if that is what you wish
at prevents it from having a preventive effect And there there was the absolutely enormous
A study by the Cochrane Institute examined whether this actually works and yes
It works so you can reduce the risk of another urinary tract infection by up to 30 percent here
women who suffer from recurrent urinary tract infections benef
about a quarter of women and about 50 percent with children where it works well
individuals who are prone to urinary tract infections due to recurrent episodes
Interventions in the urogenital tract where one can also reduce urinary tract infections by about half
us preventing Lemon water is extremely popular and consumed by many people in the morning
as the first drink consumed and there's nothing at all wrong with that I've told you
and even created a nice video on the topic which is very very interesting as it can lead to
Help prevent kidney stones or even help dissolve existing ones
What's happening there Calcium stones are the most common type of kidney stones
calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate and the lemon juice which can just bind to these oxalates
connect and he can transport them out of the body meaning prevention of
You can dissolve kidney stones here using lemon juice you also have the whole thing in a
a large study reviewed in a review study truly revealed that these citrate salts whic
can also significantly reduce stone size prevent new kidney stones and stabilize
already formed stones so feel free to drink your lemon water in the morning I've just had mine
as already mentioned the worst thing for the kidney is when these tiny blood vessels are damaged
and here let's take a look at what the major aspects are that affect blood vessels
most often damaging and here one can cite the so-called microvascular disease which is truly
Two things that must be mentioned here: type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure
These are the two main culprits for kidney damage Of course there are others as well such as
Niclomerol and nephritis—this is straightforward when considering the smallest unit of the kidney when the
a damage occurs if it becomes inflamed for example after streptococcal or viral infections
and so on or there are also quite complex inherited disorders and immune system issues where these
smallest unit of the kidney this nephron here has sustained damage and you know it
Perhaps medications can be very harmful to the kidneys certain painkillers
Antibiotics and contrast agents can harm the kidneys as can certain blood pressure medications
and also chemotherapy agents and then of course we have kidney stones which are deposits
when calcium or mineral deposits clog this filter so to spea
close it when they consume too much sugar eat too much salt or ingest large amounts of processed foods
Consuming oxalate whether through nuts chocolate or excessive phosphorus or calcium
en it can become a problem here and if that coincides with insufficient fluid intake
when these substances are not adequately flushed out we may encounter exactly this situation here
blood vessel damage And a new study shows that a diet heavily based on plants
A diet or a vegetarian diet that lowers the risk factors for these kidney diseases reduction of
High blood pressure also due to the excretion of certain toxins that are precisely through the
Breakdown of animal proteins leads to reduced inflammation lower oxidative stress
and therefore the authors have gone so far as to call for
recommend to people with kidney disease that they first try eliminating meat from their diet and
ave also urged conducting more research in this regard which brings us directly to
o the next drink and that's freshly made vegetable and fruit smoothies You just need to
Keep an eye on the potassium levels of individual vegetables when they are under a
They're already aware they're suffering from nerve damage—so what's the harm in going back
For example oranges or bananas which are very high in potassium as well as plums and prune juice
all of this should be avoided if you're already suffering from kidney disease but overall suc
A smoothie is naturally a great opportunity to easily boost their fiber content and
Vegetables and fruits can greatly enhance flavor Vegetable juices can also be excellent
Being kidney-friendly they should however make sure to use low-potassium vegetables such as
for example cabbage excellent for use readily available here or celery juice
which enjoys particular popularity in certain circles or beetroot juice or cumber juice
All of these are things they can put to good use What's this thing with potassium anyway Why is it tha
Do I mention this so often Potassium is an essential mineral that we need
among other things for maintaining our fluid balance and transmitting nerve impulses
as well as muscle contractions heart muscle contractions and so on My teacher always said
said that potassium is the toothbrush for the heart and for people with healthy kidneys it is
It's absolutely no problem to excrete potassium even when consuming it increased amounts through food
as no problem with the kidney it's no big deal But people suffering from kidney disease
Leiden may potentially be less efficient at excreting potassium which can then lead to what is known as
Hyperkalemia which means an elevated level of potassium in the body can therefore lead to
simply dangerous heart rhythm disorders This means that if you suffer from kidney disease
Keep an eye on your potassium intake as it's one of my personal recommendations
Her favorite drink is conut water—fresh when on vacation but at home you can also enjoy it
Buy a conut water powder and simply stir a little into your water there
And then you have a very delicious drink with a vacation vibe packed with many minerals
and it is also well suited for rinsing the kidneys It's important to know that it has a
elevated potassium levels This means that if you already have severe kidney disease at this point
en conut water will be flat for you And what's great about it It just tastes good it brings back memories
on vacation and it has an extremely low sugar content compared to other beverages or
and other fruit juices And of course there's also a whole range of kidney-friendly medicinal herbs
something our grandmothers already knew and understood Nettle of course is a clear-cut case but also
birch leaf tea is a proven remedy for ailments of the
Harnwegs infections and the like This tea stimulates the kidneys to produce more urine
produce or even tin grout which is known for use in kidney stones and bladder gravel And a tea
let's take a closer look—this is green tea which contains an extremely high amount of antioxidants
contains and may help support kidney function and reduce the ris
prevents kidney damage and all of this was achieved in a very large Japanese study
Studies can show There over 100 000 people were confined
Ages 40 to 69 On average these individuals were observed for just under 20 years
ere it became evident that among Japanese women who consumed green tea the
e risk of kidney cancer was significantly lower and it is believed that this is precisely due to epigallocatechin
s renowned compound in green tea acting as a powerful antioxidant then helps contribute to
at this effect this positive effect on the kidney is achieved And then one has
ot yet demonstrated in the mouse model that the damage caused by plasticizers or lead to the
It is possible that kidneys may be weakened also potentially by green tea possibly due to certain factors
and again due to the high concentration of polyphenols inside And that actually has a rather significant
a protective effect on organs particularly the kidneys and this also aligns with a similar direction
pomegranate juice which is also rich in antioxidants and appears to be capable
o prevent kidney damage In a study conducted on rats it was investigated tha
at pomegranate juice in rats exposed to lead
at has reduced heavy metal-induced kidney damage Now let's turn to the question
all questions about the liquid of all liquids It's about coffee there is
and good news too—coffee in moderation is healthy for people with kidney disease and research has shown that
you may know that coffee can also slightly improve kidney function
at diabetes and kidney diseases are closely linked Coffee ca
slightly reduce diabetes risk and as I've just mentioned some studies also indicate tha
at kidney function has slightly improved Do not drink immediately upon waking as your very first action
After waking up have your coffee and wait an hour that's the recommendation For we still have
ese fatigue-inducing substances broadly speaking are adenosine in the body And you should only start around roughly a
Drink your first cup of coffee an hour after waking up and you should also not consume more tha
Three cups a day as officially recommended by medical societies In my opinion
you should avoid caffeine altogether and drink decaf coffee instead That means
e caffeine could then simply raise your blood pressure and that's not good as we've already discussed
You should not add milk or any other additives no syrup or anything like that
or no sugar—otherwise you're just adding too many calories back into your coffee Enjoy
Just paint him black However there are indications that it's precisely older overweight individuals who are affected
Coffee may worsen kidney function in people with diabetes or metabolic syndrome
That means if you belong to this group please pay close attention If you experience any issues w
ave kidney issues you should definitely consult your nephrologist Take a look at my
other videos on kidneys where I explain kidney values to you These are truly excellent
