The Detox and Cleanse Danger: What Your Kidneys Really Need
Summary
- Your Body Already Detoxes: The liver and kidneys work 24/7 to remove toxins—most detoxes and cleanses add unnecessary stress to these organs.
- Supplements and Juice Cleanses Can Be Risky: Unregulated products may contain harmful ingredients, heavy metals, or hidden drugs. Concentrated juices can dangerously spike potassium in people with kidney issues.
- Focus on Evidence-Based Kidney Support: Hydration, balanced nutrition, blood pressure and blood sugar control, avoiding smoking and excess alcohol, and regular sleep and exercise are safer, effective ways to support kidney health.
