Kidney Health and Tea

Kidney 

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs on either side of your spine, below your ribs and behind your belly. Each kidney is about 4 or 5 inches long, roughly the size of a large fist. The kidneys' job is to filter your blood. 

Teas that are best suited to help the kidney

Green Tea: Green tea contains an even smaller amount of caffeine, about 30 mg of caffeine for an average 8-ounce cup. 

There is less potassium in green tea than black tea, and it has no phosphorus and only 2 mg of sodium!

Some Do’s and Don’ts for Tea to be Effective 

• Do drink at least 1-3 cups every day. Experts point out that because polyphenols are not retained in the body for long, it stands to reason that frequent, ongoing tea consumption is necessary to see the benefits.
• Don’t drink more than 5 cups a day. Too much of anything is bad for health.
• Do brew your tea correctly and for not more than 5 minutes.
• Do not add sugar to your tea. Sugar has its own quality and it may not help the kidney.
• Do consult your doctor if you feel the need.
• Don’t think Tea alone will do the trick, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle for a healthy kidney.
