Here’s a list of 7 refreshing drinks that support kidney health and can help you feel lighter, more hydrated, and energized throughout the day. 🌿💧

4. Coconut Water
- Why: Rich in potassium and electrolytes, helps balance hydration and support kidney function.
- Tip: Drink fresh or pure coconut water, not sugar-added versions.
5. Parsley Infusion

- How to drink: Steep 1–2 teaspoons of fresh parsley in hot water for 5–10 minutes; strain before drinking.
6. Green Tea
