28 Foods That Are Good For Your Kidneys

10. Herbs and Spices

Herbs and spices are one of the best ways to add flavor and wonderful aromas to your meal, but that’s not the only benefit they have. Many of them are not only amazing sources of vitamins and minerals, they are also full of antioxidants, which work to protect your cells against unwanted free radicals that play a part in cancer, heart disease, and other types of adverse diseases. In addition, herbs and spices also work to fight inflammation, working to lower the damage to the cells of the body. They also contain plant derived chemicals, known as phytochemicals, which fight against fungi, bacteria and viruses. And the fact that they’re pretty calorie-free is a major plus!
