"Super Foods" on the cheap

Lacy, blogger of Laughing Lemon Pie, shares some great superfoods that are also relatively inexpensive. Typically, foods are are okay for transplant patients - unless phosphorous levels are high or blood pressure levels or something. And dialysis patients have to watch for potassium levels and other things.

So before you jump all over these so-called 'superfoods' in an effort to boost your health, ensure that these foods are not going to make your blood levels go crazy.

Cheers!

Parsley Juice for Kidney Cleansing

I haven't tried this yet, but I plan to today or tomorrow. So far I have about 1/2 of the ingredients, and plan to pick up the rest today. It doesn't look too bad - in fact, it looks like it might be kind of good... the smoothie, anyway. :) If I can just get my blender to get that parsley nice and finely hidden in there...

Just updated link - hopefully it will work now. If not, just google superfoodprofiles and search for the Parsley Juice Kidney Cleansing Liver Detox! :) This is where it takes me: You are here: Home > Vegetables & Greens > Parsley > Parsley Juice for Kidney Cleansing and Liver Detoxification

Naturally, none of this is FDA approved. And you may want to check with your doc. I figure since I am not ingesting anything outright forbidden or known to harm myself, my kidney or interact with my meds (I've been doing this 20 years), I can go ahead and do it. If worse comes to worse, I see my nephrologist in a couple of weeks and she will know in a heartbeat by my labs.

I will let you know if I'm affected.

By the way. I also just began taking CoQ10. So.... who knows what great things might happen? :)

Let me know if you try it, and what you think! If you make any adustments to make it taste better, tell me that, too! I am big on texture...

Cheers!
