Our blood is absolutely essential - we simply couldn't live without it. We need blood to transport materials around our bodies, including hormones, fats, oxygen, sugar, immune cells, and clotting factors.
You may have heard that certain expensive diet cleanses or detox supplements can help to clean the blood and rid it of waste and toxins. However, this is unnecessary.
Your kidneys and liver exist for a reason. Unless one of these organs is failing, you can rely on them to purify your blood on your behalf, by breaking down waste and removing it from the body. So, rather than following a detox diet, the best way to naturally purify your blood is to help these organs to be as healthy as possible.
In this guide, you'll find a list of the best foods to help the kidneys and liver purify the blood naturally and effectively.
The foods listed in this video have proven particularly beneficial for the liver and kidneys, and can be considered good additions to a natural blood-purifying diet:
1. Water
The simplest and most easily accessible recommendation on this list is also one of the most effective. Drinking enough water is by far the best way to support the performance of your kidneys. Your kidneys couldn't operate without water, so drinking enough water will ensure that the kidneys can properly eliminate waste from the body.
Additionally, water can dilate the blood vessels. This allows blood to move more freely through the body.
Not drinking enough water can lead to kidney damage, so it's important to keep a check on your water consumption if this is something you struggle with. Though the right amount of water required varies from one person to the next, you should aim to drink an average of eight glasses of water per day.
You may need more water if you live in a hot environment, you weigh more, or you engage in challenging workouts that make you lose water through sweat. Men tend to need more water than women, too.
2. Garlic
Raw garlic is one of the healthiest foods on the planet - so it's no surprise that it's capable of naturally purifying the blood.
Allicin, a compound in garlic, is activated when garlic is chopped, crushed or chewed. According to scientific evidence, this allicin can protect the liver from toxic agents, encouraging healthy purification of the blood.
Additionally, garlic's strong antimicrobial properties help to remove bacteria and viruses from the intestines, ensuring the blood doesn't become contaminated with these toxins.
Adding garlic to your daily diet is simple. There's no need to snack on raw garlic if that sounds too horrific. Simply add roasted or fried garlic to your curries and oven bakes. You could also take a shot of crushed garlic in water if you're feeling particularly brave.
3. Coffee
Studies have found that drinking coffee may be able to protect the liver and support healthy functioning of the organ. People with chronic liver disease may especially benefit from coffee, as it has been proven to reduce the risk of cirrhosis, a type of scarring that can affect the liver's ability to function.
Coffee has also been found to improve the response to antiviral treatment for hepatitis C, and even reduce death risk for people with chronic liver disease. This may be because coffee is capable of preventing collagen and fat from accumulating in the liver.
4. Fish
If your diet is lacking in fish, you may be missing out on a whole host of natural blood purification benefits.
Certain fish types, including sardines, salmon and tuna, are known for their high omega-3 fatty acids content. Omega-3 fatty acids are effective in lowering blood pressure. They can also decrease blood triglyceride levels. Both of these benefits can help support the liver and kidneys.
One thing to note is that fish have a high protein content. People with kidney disease should avoid eating too many high-protein foods that the kidneys must work harder to process.
You should also be mindful of where your fish comes from. Local, sustainably farmed fish is the better choice for the environment, and for your body.
5. Cilantro Or Coriander
Cilantro leaf, or coriander for UK viewers, is one of the best herbs to add to your diet for kidney and liver health. This pungent herb, favored in Mexican and Asian dishes, can encourage the body to eliminate mercury and other heavy metals that can get into the bloodstream from certain foods or pollutants.
The chlorophyll in coriander has shown effective in detoxing the blood, thanks to its purifying qualities. Studies have also found that the sulfur compounds found in cruciferous vegetables have anti-inflammatory properties and can help support blood detoxification.
