Why does kidney disease occur?

A lot of kidney problems are caused by  the high concentration of toxins in the blood because too many proteins are ingested.

This doesn’t mean that foods high in protein are bad, it depends, as always, on the amount! Therefore, make sure you have a balanced, healthy diet.

The following products hinder kidney functions:

• protein-rich foods of animal origin
• White sugar
• milk and milkproducts
• salt
• Medication
• Alcohol and sweets
• industrially produced food

The kidneys are very sensitive, so complaints should be observed and treated as soon as possible. Otherwise serious illnesses (kidney failure, infections, cysts, tumors, kidney stones …) could occur.

If you notice any symptoms, you should definitely get a medical examination.

You can of course detoxify your kidneys as a preventive measure,  but it is advisable to do this under the supervision of a specialist or nutritionist.
