<section class="section"> [h=2]Juices That Flush[/h] Drinking lots of water during a kidney flush is essential for diluting and flushing out any toxins that are released. Fruits and natural juices high in vitamin C include lemon, grapefruit, orange, cranberry and apple. Vitamin C not only dissolves some types of stones, but is a powerful antioxidant and good antimicrobial. Grape and carrot juices are also high in citrates, which inhibit uric acid buildup and stop calcium salts from forming, according to “Nutritional Sciences” by Michelle McGuire. Watermelon, celery and cucumber can be eaten or juiced and all have mild diuretic properties, which increases your rate of urination and contributes to flushing out your kidneys. Wheatgrass juice is an excellent source of B vitamins and magnesium. Raw parsley also supports kidney health because of its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, as do Uva ursi, dandelion and ginger.
</section> <section class="section"> [h=2]Recommendations[/h] The key to any good kidney flush is consuming lots of liquids for between three and five days. Distilled water is beneficial for attracting excess minerals from your kidneys, although drinking it daily for hydration can deplete your bones of needed minerals. Eating raw fruits and vegetables is beneficial, but drinking their juices is more appropriate for a flush. Juices high in vitamin C, citric acid, B vitamins and magnesium help dissolve mineral deposits and stones. Reducing or eliminating animal protein, especially red meat, from your diet during your flush reduces stress on your kidneys. Talk to a health professional experienced with kidney flushes before you embark on one.
