Dr. Shen Yonghua
The following fruits are rich in nutrients and beneficial for kidney health:
1. Blueberries: Blueberries are rich in antioxidants, especially anthocyanins, which help reduce kidney inflammation and promote kidney health.
2. Cherries: Natural compounds in cherries help lower uric acid levels, prevent the formation of kidney stones, and their anti-inflammatory properties benefit the kidneys.
3. Apples: Apples are rich in fiber, vitamin C, and potassium. Moderate consumption helps maintain kidney health. The antioxidants in apple peel further protect the kidneys.
4. Watermelon: Watermelon has a high water content, which helps promote the excretion of waste from the body, reducing the burden on the kidneys. Additionally, watermelon supports kidney detoxification and contains abundant vitamins and minerals that benefit kidney health.
5. Kiwifruit: Kiwifruit is a good source of vitamins C and E, which are antioxidants that protect the kidneys from damage caused by free radicals.
In daily life, it is important to maintain a balanced diet and consume in moderation various fruits that benefit kidney health.
