The kidneys are important detoxification organs in the human body, and kidney protection issues have garnered significant attention. Nephrologist Chen Jun-ji pointed out that there is no such thing as "kidney-protecting food"; excessive intake of any food can be harmful to the kidneys. Maintaining a balanced and appropriate diet is beneficial for health and kidney function, particularly by reducing unhealthy eating habits. Director Guo Ke-lin from Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital also stated that keeping the kidneys from being overworked is key to kidney protection.

The kidneys are important detoxification organs in the human body, so methods for kidney protection receive a lot of attention. Experts point out that, in fact, there are no specific "kidney-protecting foods"; consuming any food in excess can be harmful to the kidneys. A balanced and moderate healthy diet not only benefits overall health but also supports kidney function, without needing to emphasize the consumption of any single food. Many so-called "kidney superfoods" can also raise health concerns if consumed excessively.

Experts believe that the kidneys can be imagined as an incessantly running "wastewater treatment plant" or "garbage disposal site." To maintain their basic operation, the most important factor is to reduce the amount of wastewater and garbage entering, which helps to lessen their burden. This is an effective way to protect the kidneys. Therefore, kidney protection should emphasize "subtraction," rather than "addition."

He stated that a balanced diet contributes to body health, and simply eating a little more of "healthy foods" and a little less of "unhealthy foods" is already very good.

Another medical expert also mentioned that, from a medical perspective, the kidneys are the main detoxifying organs, and the primary concern should be the burden on the kidneys. Thus, the best way to protect the kidneys is to allow them some time to rest.
