Does melon juice work to improve kidney health?

In short, it depends on each body.

For healthy people, this fruit may help cleanse the body. Especially if it’s included in a balanced and healthy diet.

On the other hand, people with kidney problems should follow a proper diet for their organism. In this regard, it’s important that they control the levels of sodium, potassium and phosphorus they consume.

For example, when the kidneys don’t work well, they can’t get rid of excess potassium and it may build up in the blood. For this reason, melons may not be suitable for those on a renal diet.

In any case, people with kidney problems should follow a diet plan designed by a health care professional.
