Next, your kidneys will thank you for this root vegetable. Number 9 is “Carrots”.

This brightly-colored root veggie can offer serious therapeutic effects.

A recent study published in the Journal of Thrombosis and Thrombolysis showed that beta-carotene—the orange pigment found in carrots—can not only reduce inflammation but also help repair damaged kidney tubules.

And pectin, a type of soluble fiber in carrots, can decrease creatinine levels. (A high creatinine level may be a sign that the kidneys are not working properly.)

The researchers reported that pectin may be more effective in treating kidney failure than a prescription diuretic. Adding carrots to your diet is a smart move to support kidney detoxification and blood cleansing.

Next, this root vegetable is “nature’s antibiotic”. Number 8 is “Garlic”.

Garlic is believed to purify the blood through its powerful antibacterial and antifungal effects.

This pungent root vegetable contains allicin, a potent antioxidant, which reduces oxidative stress on the liver and kidneys.

Furthermore, studies show that consuming fresh garlic and aged garlic extract boost nitric oxide levels, improving blood circulation. And improved blood flow means lower blood pressure and a reduced risk of damage to the kidneys.

So, go ahead and use fresh garlic to spice up your salads, soups, sauces, marinades, and dips.

Coming up, cleanse your blood and improve digestion with, Number 7. “Artichokes”.

The artichoke is part of the milk thistle family, and unsurprisingly, a powerhouse protector of your liver.

This veggie is loaded with chlorogenic acid and flavonoids, such as luteolin and cynarin which help the liver flush out toxins by promoting bile flow.

A study published in the Journal of Ayurvedic and Herbal Medicine suggested that artichoke leaf extract has powerful liver-protecting properties.
