Herbs and spices not just help improve the taste and appeal of food but also boost our overall health. From Giloy to Triphala, here are 5 herbs you can add to your diet for improving kidney health.
Our kidneys help our body to remain free from toxins and unhealthy
accumulations making sure it has all the essential nutrients in balance. When
the proper function of kidneys is disrupted due to some reason and they are not
able to work as efficiently, due to this build-up of waste and toxic products,
one may develop several health issues from gout, anaemia, thyroid issues, bone
disease, heart disease and fluid build-up.
"Due to loss of blood purification function, there is accumulation of toxins causing nausea, loss of appetite, retention of water which leads to development of swelling and if this water accumulates in the
lungs it also leads to breathlessness. Apart from the filtration function of the blood, the kidney has three other main functions such as regulation of blood pressure, vitamin D formation which is responsible for bone and muscle health and production of erythropoietin hormone which is responsible for blood formation. Due to loss of these functions a kidney patient develops high blood pressure, body aches and weakness as vitamin D is necessary to maintain adequate calcium levels in body and maintain bone and muscle health. Weakness, easy fatigue, irritability and breathlessness occurs due to lack of blood. If left untreated, the damage in kidneys may get worse and may eventually need dialysis or renal transplantation," says Dr. Shri Ram Kabra, Director-Nephrology and Kidney Transplant Medicine, Marengo Asia Hospitals Faridabad.LIFESTYLE
