A recent study showed that kidney disease causes dysfunction in the intestinal tract by causing colitis. Upon application of a Nrf2 activator, resolution of the intestinal inflammation and restored epithelial tight junction proteins was found to occur. There are many Nrf2 activators that are in food, these foods include:
Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage (contains phytonutrient sulphoraphane)
Coffee
Leafy greens such as kale, bok choy, cabbage
Red wine (contains resveratrol)
Tumeric/curcumin
Green and white eea
Chocolate
Blueberries and other red, black and purple berries.
Olive Oil
Garlic
Sage
Onions
Apples
Citrus fruits
