Your kidneys are some of the most important organs in your body. Not only do they remove waste and excess fluid from your blood, but they maintain the levels of potassium, sodium and other essential minerals that your body needs to survive. The kidneys also create hormones that regulate important health factors like blood pressure and bone strength. But despite all that, they still remain underappreciated compared to organs like the heart or lungs.

The kidneys do a lot, so they can become overworked without your notice. Roughly one in seven American adults has chronic kidney disease, which can cause waste and fluid buildup in your body.

Well, I was scanning the list thinking that I was gonna live forever...

...then I got to cauliflower.

I will happily give up 20 years before I ever taste that weed again (but I seriously question its validity on the list).

I am extreamly pleased that avocados are NOT on the list... UGH.!

[married21]

We eat almost all of those items, except arugula. We are on the right track.

PING liver health

Personally I also use Watermelon seed tea for my kidneys.

[Bullish]

Cauliflower is great if you know how to prepare it right. Done wrong it’s nasty.

There is absolutely nothing you can eat to make you healthier. But there are many many things you can eat to make you less healthy.

[DesertRhino]

List appears to be gibberish. Egg whites? Anyone who thinks egg yolk is dangerous is too dumb to consider.

[MayflowerMadam]

“Criminal lemons”. Is that a thing? Lemon with blueberries sounds good.

[DesertRhino]

I always get my medical advice from sub 30 financial writers with 5 years experience writing insurance policies.

Or, if you regularly eat the foods on this list, you aren’t eating donuts, cheetos, M&M’s, processed meats, cheez-whiz and sodas.

Beg to differ [ ;-) ], but that ship sank a LONG time ago regardless.

[Ge0ffrey]

I refuse to eat eggwhites without egg yolks.

[RummyChick]

there was some crazy story about a guy who ate a massive amount of eggs . 720 in a month. it lowered his cholesterol

[No name given]

So do I.

[Fungi]

Where did you get that erudite information?

[Dr. Sivana]

Well, I was scanning the list thinking that I was gonna live forever...

My wife must love me. At least she wants to keep me around. She feeds me the whole list except the arugula, and she would feed me that if I didn't sneer at it.

“I refuse to eat eggwhites without egg yolks.”
