Cheap and accessible to everyone.. an expert reveals the No. 1 food to protect the kidneys

Al-Marsad newspaper: Eat This, Not That, a health and nutritional website, states that the kidneys work hard to remove waste and toxins from the body and maintain a balance of bodily fluids (such as blood and electrolyte levels).

“To help you better maintain kidney health and prevent any further kidney deterioration, you can try incorporating whole foods and eating less processed meat,” says nutritionist Toby Amidor.

She noted that studies have found that dark leafy greens rich in minerals and antioxidants can give these powerful organs exactly what they need.

And watercress, for example, contains a healthy amount of multiple nutrients such as magnesium, vitamin K and calcium. But what sets this leafy green apart from others is that it’s low in phosphorous — a naturally occurring mineral in foods that can build up in the bloodstream if the kidneys aren’t filtered properly.

She added: Watercress may be the first step in preventing kidney deterioration, due to the fact that the dark green vegetable contains nitrates, which have been shown to help lower blood pressure.
