And here is the interesting part: many people make the mistake of drinking too much liquid right before sleep. That can have the opposite effect. Therefore, timing matters just as much as the ingredient.
What You Should Do to Make It Work Better
The infusion alone does not work magic. It works best when accompanied by daily habits that relieve work for the kidneys during the day and prevent discomfort from accumulating at night.
Study after study on hydration and kidney health agrees on a basic rule: drinking water consistently throughout the day is better than waiting until you are very thirsty. The body appreciates that regularity.
Habits That Help Your Kidneys
-
Drink water in small amounts throughout the day.
-
Reduce salt at dinner.
-
Walk 15 to 20 minutes after eating.
-
Avoid coffee, black tea, or caffeinated sodas in the afternoon and evening.
-
Elevate your legs for a few minutes if you tend to swell at the end of the day.
