Jakarta –
The kidney is one of the vital organs that is important to continue to maintain its health so that it can function optimally. Quoted from Healthline, the kidneys play an important role in balancing electrolytes in the body, forming hormones, and removing waste products from the body.
The key to kidney health in general lies in consuming enough water every day.
The adult human body is composed of approximately 60 percent water. Every organ in the body needs water to function, from the brain to the liver.
Likewise with the kidneys, these organs also need water to secrete urine and carry out its role as the body’s filtration system. Through this secretion, the body can remove unwanted or unneeded substances and substances.
When water consumption is insufficient, urine production will be limited. Low urine production can lead to kidney dysfunction and the formation of kidney stones. Therefore, it is important to consume enough water at least 3.7 liters per day for men and 2.7 liters per liver for women.
However, besides water, there are also a number of foods, herbs, and supplements that can help keep your kidneys healthy.
Here are some foods that are good for cleansing the kidneys and optimizing their health.
1. Wine
Grapes contain resveratol. In an animal study, research has found that resveratol is able to relieve kidney inflammation caused by polycystic kidney disease or PKD.
2. Cranberry
Cranberries are believed to be beneficial for bladder health. A study released in the Nutrition Journal shows the role of dried cranberries in lowering the risk of developing urinary tract infections.
3. Fruit juice
Lemon, orange and melon juices contain citric acid. Citric acid helps prevent kidney stone formation by binding to calcium in the urine and preventing the growth of calcium crystals that can lead to kidney stones.
In addition, consuming a glass of fresh fruit juice every day can help fulfill the fluids the body needs every day.
4. Seaweed
Brown seaweed has a number of good benefits. Not only for the kidneys, but also for the health of the pancreas and liver.
5. Foods rich in calcium
Many people think that reducing calcium consumption can prevent kidney stones. Whereas on the contrary, consumption of calcium can help prevent the formation of kidney stones and other kidney disorders. Calcium is required to bind to oxalate to reduce the absorption and excretion of these substances.
Calcium consumption is recommended to reach 1.2 grams per day. A line of foods rich in calcium include:
Soy milk or almond milk

Spinach
Broccoli
Seafood, such as sardines and salmon
