Clean your kidneys following a quick recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon of fresh or dried parsley (8 g)
• 1 cup of water (250 ml)

How do you prepare?

The difference between fresh or dried parsley is that the flavor changes slightly when infused. In either case, you should wash it well before infusing it.

• Take a cup of water and bring it to a boil in a pot.
• Once the water is boiling add the tablespoon of parsley. It is important that you add the herb just when the water reaches the boiling point, since if you do it before it could lose some of its properties.
• Let it boil for 5 more minutes.
• Turn off the heat, strain the infusion to remove the parsley branches and let it rest for a few minutes.
• If you prefer, you can add sugar or sweetener to the drink. You can take 2 to 3 cups of infusion daily, 4 days a week, to see better results.

Is it advisable to consume parsley infusion in excess?

The excesses are bad and that does not exclude the infusion of parsley. The flavonoids contained in parsley favor the excretion of water and sodium but, in turn, increase the reabsorption of potassium and its concentration in the blood.

Elevated potassium in the blood is called hyperkalemia, and it can increase the risk of heart arrhythmias or cramps.

The consumption of parsley infusion is not recommended for pregnant women because it stimulates uterine contractions. It is also not recommended for people diagnosed with kidney failure with a tendency to suffer from kidney stones.

Clean your kidneys in a natural way with this and other infusions. It is recommended to do it at least twice a year for the body to function optimally. The kidneys keep the body detoxified and they deserve to be clean too.

Thanks to the correct functioning of these organs, the body is in good health and many diseases can be prevented. Remember also to attend annual or biannual consultations with your doctor to check that everything is going well in your body.
