How to Cleanse Your Blood: Herbs, Food, and More

This is an automatically translated article.

Blood in the human body performs many functions from transporting oxygen, hormones, clotting factors, sugars, fats and even immune cells. You don't need to invest in expensive diets or buy blood-cleansing supplements because the liver and kidneys are already taking over that important task in the body. The best way to naturally purify the blood is to help these essential organs function at their best. You can also use herbs in nature to enhance the function of these organs.

1. The role of blood in the body

Blood performs extremely important functions to maintain the life of the body. Includes 3 main functions:
Transport function: Blood transports gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide from the lungs to the rest of the body and vice versa. Blood is also responsible for transporting nutrients from the digestive tract to other organs of the body, transporting waste products, hormones and other cells. Protective function: Blood contains white blood cells that help destroy invading microorganisms, as well as provide platelet factors that help clot blood and minimize blood loss from injury. Regulating function: Blood helps regulate pH, helps balance water and temperature in the body. The liver and kidneys are responsible for filtering the blood, helping to remove waste products from the blood.
Liver: The location of the liver is the upper right part of the abdomen. The liver helps convert food into energy. The liver also helps convert toxins, such as alcohol, harmful metals and drugs, into harmless substances and ensures they are eliminated from the body. Kidneys: Kidneys are two bean-shaped organs. The kidneys are responsible for filtering the blood and removing waste. In addition, the body's natural detoxification process is carried out through the functions of the intestines, skin, spleen and lymphatic system.
Currently, there are many products that are advertised as having the ability to help the body detox, clean blood vessels. However, these advertisements do not provide scientific evidence for the cleansing and blood purifying effectiveness of these products. While the ingredients in these supplements may have an indirect effect by supporting kidney and liver function, there is no evidence that they have a direct impact on waste removal and toxins from the blood.

2. Foods that help with the natural detoxification process

There aren't any miracle foods that can help your body clear blood vessels. A healthy diet is one that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables. A number of foods have been shown to have protective effects on the liver and kidneys that help increase the ability to clean and filter waste and toxins from the blood:
Water By far the best way to help increase kidney performance is to drink enough water. Your kidneys need water to remove waste from your body. Water also helps keep your blood vessels dilated so blood can move freely. Severe dehydration can lead to kidney damage or impaired kidney function.
Your urine should be light yellow or colorless throughout the day. According to the National Kidney Association, your average urine output should be about 6 cups per day. The amount of water recommended for each person is different. A general rule of thumb is to drink about eight glasses of water a day, but you may need more if you exercise hard or your weight is above average. Men usually need more water than women. Symptoms of kidney disease are silent. You should monitor to detect any kidney abnormalities early.
Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower) Cruciferous vegetables are often recommended for people with kidney disease because they are high in antioxidants and extremely nutritious. They have been shown to help reduce the risk of many types of cancer, including kidney cancer.
In addition, the way to prepare this vegetable is also very flexible. You can eat it raw, steamed, grilled, or paired with soups or casseroles.
Blueberries Blueberries are extremely high in antioxidants, they can protect the liver from damage. Animal studies have found that whole blueberries can help keep the liver healthy. You can eat blueberries by mixing them into yogurt, oatmeal, or smoothies.
Cranberries Cranberries have many benefits for the urinary tract. They have been shown to prevent bacteria from attaching to the urinary tract, thereby keeping your kidneys free of infections. You can add a few fresh cranberries to your oatmeal, smoothies, or even salads to enjoy the delicious flavor of this fruit.
Coffee Coffee helps protect the liver. Studies show that drinking coffee reduces the risk of cirrhosis in people with chronic liver disease and may also reduce the risk of developing liver cancer.
Coffee lowers the risk of death in people with chronic liver disease and increases the effectiveness of antiviral treatment in people with hepatitis C. This benefit may be because coffee can prevent the accumulation of fat and collagen in the liver.
Garlic Garlic adds great flavor to any dish, whether raw or powdered. It has anti-inflammatory properties and can help lower cholesterol and blood pressure. High blood pressure can damage the blood vessels in the kidneys, so adding garlic to your daily diet can help lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure.
Grapefruit Grapefruit is high in antioxidants and can help control inflammation in the body. Studies have shown that the antioxidants present in grapefruit can help protect the liver from damage and harmful effects of alcohol.
Apple Apples contain large amounts of a soluble fiber called pectin. Soluble fiber helps regulate blood sugar levels in the body. High blood sugar can damage your kidneys, so anything that helps control blood sugar will have an indirect, positive impact on kidney health.
Fish Some fish, like salmon, tuna or sardines, are high in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to lower blood triglyceride levels and lower blood pressure, which is good for your liver and kidneys. However, keep in mind that fish provides a lot of protein, especially sea fish. Therefore, if you already have kidney disease, you should limit the amount of protein-rich foods you eat each day. Eating too much protein can make your kidneys work harder

3. Herbs are not good for kidney and liver health

Many herbs have health benefits. However, you should avoid taking too many herbal extracts as they can harm your kidneys. You should avoid all herbal supplements if you already have kidney or liver disease.
Ginger Ginger can help in blood sugar control. Studies have also shown that ginger can help treat nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Fresh or powdered ginger can spice up a number of dishes or you can make ginger tea to drink every day.
Green Tea Drinking green tea can improve liver health, reduce fatty deposits in the liver, and may protect against liver cancer. Drinking about 4 cups of green tea a day can significantly improve health.
Parsley Animal studies show that parsley may also help protect the liver, be a diuretic, and help the kidneys eliminate waste.
Dandelion Dandelion is used as a diuretic, it increases the amount of water moving through the kidneys to help filter waste from the blood. In addition, dandelion is also beneficial for liver function. The best way to enjoy dandelion is to make a tea using dandelion leaves, flowers, or roots.
You do not need to buy any kind of detox because the body is already equipped with a perfect purification system of its own. All you really need is a well-balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables and enough water. You should also limit your alcohol intake. Liver and kidney problems can be managed with a sensible diet right from the start. If you've been diagnosed with liver or kidney disease, it's time to change your diet and get into the habit of drinking herbal tea. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is the best way to help you improve your medical condition.
