The kidneys do an important job of filtering the body, removing waste and excess water from the blood. By filtering the blood, the kidneys also regulate the balance of sodium, calcium, phosphorus, and potassium in the bloodstream, which is critical for the proper functioning of nerves, muscles, and organs. If a person does not have chronic kidney disease, keeping the paired organ healthy helps, including the consumption of a sufficient amount of fluid, urologist Vadim Bashkatov told the MedikForum portal.
According to him, men need about 13 cups of fluid per day, and women need about 9 cups. He added that in addition to drinks, moisture is also consumed by the body from food.
At the same time, the physician emphasized that the most important thing for the kidneys is clean water. He also named other drinks that help the kidneys stay healthy.
Among them: cranberry juice, water with lemon, coffee.
The above drinks are good for kidney health, but if you have kidney problems or chronic kidney disease, you should not make any significant changes in your diet or fluid intake without first talking to your doctor.
