If your creatinine levels are high, it can indicate that your kidneys are under stress and need support. Eating certain fruits at night can help flush out toxins, reduce oxidative stress, and support kidney function. Here’s a full guide:
1. Watermelon

- How to use: Eat an apple after dinner or mix into a light evening salad.

3. Berries (Blueberries, Strawberries)
- Why it helps: Packed with polyphenols and vitamin C, which reduce oxidative stress in kidneys.
- How to use: Have a handful of berries with yogurt or as a nighttime snack.

4. Pomegranate
- Why it helps: Natural diuretic properties help flush toxins and support kidney cleansing.
