Many people report discomfort or trouble with urination or digestive health.  Often these problems include cloudy or extra yellow urine, painful urination, or chronic pain in the kidney region of the lower back.  While there are sometimes serious medical issues associated with these symptoms, they are sometimes cause by an overly-toxic bloodstream resulting from an unhealthy, yet all too common, modern diet and lifestyle.  

Today’s world offers us a buffet of toxic malnutrition from fast food grease to smoggy air to the proliferation of soft drinks as a main source of hydration. These trends are ever-increasing, especially in the West, and are responsible in large part for the drop in digestive health and spike in obesity. These toxins build up in the body, forcing the natural cleansing mechanisms, like the kidneys, to become overloaded with responsibility and under-perform. This is when you begin to notice the symptoms like aches, pains, or low energy and need to cleanse your body.

Kidney cleansing is the process of reducing your toxic intake and encouraging your body to natural expel contaminants and replenish its natural reserves. The body has its own system for taking care of this body cleansing process. You just have to get out of its way and let it do its job. Here’s how:

Kidney Cleansing Basics

First you have to reduce your toxic intake in order to body cleanse. Toxins come mainly from improper nutrition, although breathing smoggy air or smoking can introduce contaminants to the body as well. Eliminating foods like meats, dairy, sugars, starches, wheat, sodium, alcohol, caffeine, and tobacco will make a significant dent in the assault normally happening on your digestive system. This will free up the kidneys to process chemicals at a more free and clear pace.

The single most important change to keep in mind for kidney cleansing is to drink lots and lots of water! The kidneys deal mostly with liquids and urination. So many people replace water with chemical-laden beverages like sodas or sugary drinks. These taste great but offer little for hydration, something your body needs more than anything else for a total cleanse.

Kidney cleansing is a great health benefit and doing it periodically can keep you from forming more detrimental health and kidney problems in the future. You’ll know you’ve improved your body’s toxic balance when your urine is clear, rather than cloudy or yellow.

Always remember, if you have severe pain in your kidney area or during urination, or if your urine has a particularly foul odor or, worse, you notice blood in your urine, these are signs of serious problems and you should seek medical treatment immediately from a licensed medical professional.

Remember, Health is Wealth and a whole body cleanse can make you richer than the stars! Happy Kidney Cleansing!
