Therapist Alexandra Belova: lemon and lime juice has a positive effect on the kidneys.
Drinking enough clean water is known to help maintain kidney health. A clean fluid helps the kidneys efficiently remove toxins and other waste products in the urine. But the therapist Belova said that in addition to water, there are other drinks that help “cleanse” the kidneys of unwanted substances and keep them healthy.
Citrus juice. According to the therapist Belova, natural lemonade helps “cleanse” the kidneys due to the content of nitric acid by-products in lemons and limes. These substances provide prevention of nephrolithiasis by preventing the combination of calcium with other minerals, leading to the formation of crystals and kidney stones.
Cranberry juice.Cranberries contain a valuable ingredient that prevents E. coli bacteria from sticking to the walls of the urinary tract. This bacterium is responsible for 80-90% of all cases of UTI (urinary tract infection). If such an infection occurs and is not treated, it can spread to the kidneys and cause the development of pyelonephritis.

It found that drinking half a glass of wine was associated with a 37% lower risk of chronic kidney disease compared to people who didn't drink wine. Among participants with chronic kidney disease, those who drank some wine daily were 29% less likely to develop heart disease.
