Good afternoon, steemian.
How are you doing today? I always pray for you in good health. On this occasion, I want to share a little information in the health sector.
As an important organ that functions to remove waste from the blood and regulate the level of fluid in the body, the kidneys are very important organs.

To keep the kidney system running smoothly, steemians must eat vegetables, avoid fat, processed foods that are a lot of sodium and saturated fat.
About vegetables, there are certain types of vegetables whose benefits stand out more to cleanse, purify, protect and improve kidney performance. Here are some vegetables that are considered good for kidney health.
1.Red peppers

This vegetable is known to be kidney-friendly because of its low potassium content. High potassium levels in the blood can make it difficult for the kidneys to eliminate them, causing chronic kidney disease. Red peppers also contain powerful antioxidants such as vitamins C, A and B6 and other nutrients such as folic acid and fiber.
2.Cabbage

Cabbage is free of potassium which is beneficial for your liver and kidneys. These vegetables are also rich in phytochemicals that help fight cancer-causing free radicals. In addition, cabbage contains important nutrients such as fiber, vitamin B6, K and C and folic acid. This makes cabbage add value to a kidney-friendly diet.
3.Garlic

Garlic can be used as food ingredients or eaten raw. Garlic has diuretic properties that help remove excess sodium and water from your body by forcing the kidneys to release them through urine. Garlic also protects the kidneys from the harmful effects of heavy metals such as lead. These herbs have the power to reduce inflammation, fight infections, cleanse the body, reduce cholesterol and act as natural antibiotics.
4.Cauliflower

This vegetable offers folic acid and fiber. This serves to cleanse the kidneys and strengthen them. Cauliflower is also low in potassium so it can be consumed by people with chronic kidney disease.
That is the information in my short article. Hopefully it can be useful to all steemians.
