Detoxifying the kidneys

Our kidneys are one of the our most vital organs in our bodies.  About 200 liters of blood pass through our kidneys every day.   Our kidneys are our bodys' defense mechanism and remove about 2 liters of waste and excess water from our body through urine daily.  The amount of toxins that enter the kidneys cause major diseases.   Food that cause the most harm to our kidneys are processed foods, animal protein, artificial sweeteners, carbonated drinks, caffeine and cigarettes not to mention environmental toxins.  

Our diets and lifestyles have significantly changed over the past few hundred years and even the air we breathe, the quality of the food we eat has changed.  Is it any wonder we are becoming sick
