Resumen

TLDRThe video delves into the various foods that can adversely affect kidney health, focusing on key contributors to kidney damage such as high blood pressure and high levels of sugar in the blood. It highlights how these issues can impair kidney function by damaging the nephrons, the tiny filters responsible for cleaning the blood. The video details seven specific foods that can harm the kidneys: instant noodles, Skittles, fried chicken, commercial bread, soda, agave syrup, and cereals. Each of these foods contains harmful substances, like sodium, artificial dyes, preservatives, phosphoric acid, and glyphosate, which can strain or damage the kidneys. It also discusses the concept of glycation, where sugar binds to proteins, impairing their function. Practical advice is given on avoiding these foods to maintain kidney health, emphasizing the importance of potassium over sodium in managing kidney function. Lastly, it alerts the audience to be cautious about water intake, suggesting that excessive water without electrolytes can also harm kidney health.

    The video discusses how certain foods can harm kidney health, emphasizing the importance of kidneys, which filter 50 gallons of blood daily using 2 million nephrons. It highlights that high blood pressure and high blood sugar are detrimental to kidney function. High sugar levels, particularly from diabetes, can damage these filters, causing sugar and protein to appear in the urine. The video describes that a change in urine color and the inability to activate Vitamin D are signs of kidney damage. Foods harmful to kidneys include instant noodles with preservatives like TBHQ, foods with artificial dyes like Skittles, fast-food fried chicken, commercial bread with preservatives, soda with phosphoric acid, agave syrup high in fructose, and cereals containing glyphosate. It stresses the role of these additives and compounds in kidney strain and potential cancer risks. Despite discussing harmful foods, the video promises a subsequent part focusing on foods that support kidney health.

  • 00:00:00
    let's talk about the seven foods that
  • 00:00:01
    destroy your kidneys your kidneys are
  • 00:00:04
    simply amazing each kidney has about a
  • 00:00:06
    million little tiny filters they're
  • 00:00:09
    called nephrons and they have the
  • 00:00:10
    ability to selectively get rid of
  • 00:00:13
    certain bad stuff and retain certain
  • 00:00:15
    good things and with the 2 million
  • 00:00:17
    nephrons you have you filter out 50
  • 00:00:20
    gallons of blood every single day and so
  • 00:00:23
    these kidneys recycle 99% of all of your
  • 00:00:27
    blood so only a little bit is released
  • 00:00:30
    and one of the big problems with your
  • 00:00:31
    kidney is high blood pressure because if
  • 00:00:33
    you have chronic high blood pressure
  • 00:00:35
    that can really destroy those little
  • 00:00:37
    tiny filters another thing that's even
  • 00:00:39
    more destructive than blood pressure to
  • 00:00:41
    your kidneys is high levels of sugar as
  • 00:00:44
    in diabetes so all the sugar that's in
  • 00:00:46
    your blood has to go through these
  • 00:00:48
    little tiny filters and then what
  • 00:00:50
    happens when it interacts with the
  • 00:00:51
    filters is it makes those little filters
  • 00:00:54
    smaller so now it can't filter so now
  • 00:00:57
    you're going to be losing sugar and
  • 00:00:59
    losing protein in the urine a couple
  • 00:01:01
    simple ways to determine if there is a
  • 00:01:04
    damage to the kidney is number one do
  • 00:01:06
    you have sugar in the urine and number
  • 00:01:08
    two do you have protein in the urine
  • 00:01:10
    because if you do that can mean kidney
  • 00:01:13
    damage and also the color of your urine
  • 00:01:15
    is important too because when the
  • 00:01:17
    kidneys stop filtering the color of the
  • 00:01:19
    urine is no longer kind of an Amber
  • 00:01:21
    yellow it can get darker and it can turn
  • 00:01:24
    actually a lot of different colors but
  • 00:01:26
    one of the most important things the
  • 00:01:27
    kidney does is activate vitamin D and if
  • 00:01:31
    there's damage with the kidney you're
  • 00:01:33
    not going to be able to activate vitamin
  • 00:01:34
    D and that could be one reason why
  • 00:01:36
    people are very very deficient so we
  • 00:01:38
    need strong healthy kidneys to get rid
  • 00:01:40
    of waste and to even retain nutrients
  • 00:01:42
    all right let's start with food number
  • 00:01:44
    one instant noodles like Ramen noodles
  • 00:01:47
    so it is true that these noodles are
  • 00:01:49
    loaded with sodium but there's something
  • 00:01:51
    more damaging about these noodles it's
  • 00:01:53
    actually a preservative it's called
  • 00:01:56
    tbhq this preservative is very toxic to
  • 00:01:59
    the kidney it can actually cause the
  • 00:02:01
    kidneys to work harder where you
  • 00:02:02
    actually enlarge your kidney and it also
  • 00:02:04
    has the ability in some cases to produce
  • 00:02:07
    cancer in your kidneys now I just want
  • 00:02:09
    to bring up sodium for a second because
  • 00:02:11
    sodium definitely is a problem with
  • 00:02:14
    blood pressure when you go to the doctor
  • 00:02:16
    they might say that you're salt
  • 00:02:18
    sensitive so you have to reduce your
  • 00:02:20
    sodium but the question is do we really
  • 00:02:22
    need to reduce sodium or do we need to
  • 00:02:25
    increase pottassium which is more
  • 00:02:27
    protective because there's just as many
  • 00:02:30
    problems with too much sodium as there
  • 00:02:32
    is with a deficiency of sodium there's a
  • 00:02:35
    condition where a person is drinking a
  • 00:02:36
    lot of water but not consuming enough
  • 00:02:38
    salt and that's called
  • 00:02:40
    hyponatremia with that condition you can
  • 00:02:42
    even create fluid retention in your body
  • 00:02:44
    which puts a lot of strain on the kidney
  • 00:02:47
    and also just drinking more water puts a
  • 00:02:49
    big strain on the kidney getting rid of
  • 00:02:51
    all this extra fluid so when people
  • 00:02:53
    think oh yeah what's good for the kidney
  • 00:02:54
    oh drink a lot of water not necessarily
  • 00:02:57
    you want to drink when you're thirsty
  • 00:02:58
    but forc yourself to drink tons of water
  • 00:03:00
    without the electrolytes could create
  • 00:03:02
    problems in the kidneys and anytime you
  • 00:03:04
    consume salt always consume sea salt all
  • 00:03:07
    right number two Skittles or things like
  • 00:03:11
    this and I'm talking about things that
  • 00:03:14
    contain a lot of food dyes these
  • 00:03:16
    artificial dyes are very hard on the
  • 00:03:19
    kidney the kidney has to get rid of them
  • 00:03:21
    now also realize at first the kidney is
  • 00:03:22
    going to recycle a all that dye and it's
  • 00:03:24
    going to kind of go through your
  • 00:03:25
    bloodstream over and over and over again
  • 00:03:27
    you don't want artificial dyes going
  • 00:03:29
    through your body like that all right
  • 00:03:30
    next thing is fried chicken I'm talking
  • 00:03:33
    about the fried chicken that you would
  • 00:03:34
    get at a fast food restaurant you put in
  • 00:03:37
    seed oils at very high Heats so anytime
  • 00:03:40
    you heat a protein with a carbohydrate
  • 00:03:45
    as in all that flour breading you get
  • 00:03:48
    something called glycation let me
  • 00:03:50
    explain what glycation is here's some
  • 00:03:52
    protein here's a carbohydrate and they
  • 00:03:55
    get connected and they bind under high
  • 00:03:58
    Heats so now this sugar molecule is
  • 00:04:01
    stuck to the protein now this protein in
  • 00:04:03
    your body can't work anymore that's what
  • 00:04:05
    glycation is so let's say for example
  • 00:04:07
    you took a test for diabetes called A1C
  • 00:04:10
    what they're measuring is the amount of
  • 00:04:13
    glucose that's stuck to the protein your
  • 00:04:15
    hemoglobin your protein your blood and
  • 00:04:18
    it's making that no longer available to
  • 00:04:20
    do its job so if you have higher amounts
  • 00:04:23
    of A1C you have higher amounts of sugar
  • 00:04:27
    that's connected to your protein to the
  • 00:04:29
    point where you start getting all sorts
  • 00:04:32
    of complications from diabetes okay
  • 00:04:35
    where things don't work because when the
  • 00:04:36
    glucose gets stuck to the hemoglobin or
  • 00:04:38
    the protein or any protein in your body
  • 00:04:40
    it clogs everything up especially in the
  • 00:04:43
    kidneys and so when you consume
  • 00:04:45
    something that's fried what you're going
  • 00:04:46
    to get is this junk that just clogs
  • 00:04:49
    everything up the next one is commercial
  • 00:04:52
    bread now the expiration on this was mid
  • 00:04:56
    July right now it's September and look
  • 00:04:59
    it it's it's not even going bad it's
  • 00:05:02
    still soft how can that be because it
  • 00:05:05
    has preservatives and it also has
  • 00:05:07
    something called potassium bromate
  • 00:05:09
    pottassium bromate is really harmful on
  • 00:05:11
    the kidneys in fact it's banned in a lot
  • 00:05:13
    of countries except the US and I think
  • 00:05:16
    Japan and apparently it's carcinogenic
  • 00:05:18
    in our bodies especially with kidney
  • 00:05:20
    cancer the next one is soda okay what's
  • 00:05:24
    in the soda that's harmful for the
  • 00:05:25
    kidneys phosphoric acid okay phosphoric
  • 00:05:28
    acid is destructive on the kidneys not
  • 00:05:31
    just from the phosphoric acid but from
  • 00:05:33
    the added sugar as well and by the way
  • 00:05:35
    the number one cause of kidney damage is
  • 00:05:38
    diabetes Now what's diabetes diabetes
  • 00:05:41
    means the person has too much sugar in
  • 00:05:43
    the blood well isn't there some sugar in
  • 00:05:46
    here yes there is and then also why do
  • 00:05:49
    they put the phosphoric acid in there
  • 00:05:50
    well number one it's cheaper than other
  • 00:05:52
    types of acid like citric acid it can
  • 00:05:55
    act as a preservative it helps retain
  • 00:05:58
    the carbonation and it's an overall
  • 00:06:00
    flavor enhancer all right number six is
  • 00:06:02
    aave syrup agave syrup has been known to
  • 00:06:06
    be even keto friendly which it's totally
  • 00:06:10
    bogus because 80% of agave syrup is
  • 00:06:14
    fructose even high fructose corn syrup
  • 00:06:17
    is like 55% fructose Agave is 80 even in
  • 00:06:21
    some reports 90% fructose and yes
  • 00:06:24
    fructose is low in the glycemic index
  • 00:06:27
    but all the fructose is metabolized
  • 00:06:28
    different in the body body it goes to
  • 00:06:30
    the liver and it overloads the liver
  • 00:06:32
    with a lot of stress so why is that so
  • 00:06:33
    damaging because the metabolism of
  • 00:06:35
    fructose is similar to alcohol and it
  • 00:06:37
    also creates a lot of problems with
  • 00:06:38
    insulin resistance which is the
  • 00:06:40
    precursor to pre-diabetes and then
  • 00:06:43
    diabetes and since diabetes is the
  • 00:06:45
    number one cause of chronic kidney
  • 00:06:47
    disease then agava Nector is right up
  • 00:06:51
    there at the very top level of
  • 00:06:53
    irritating the kidney all right last one
  • 00:06:55
    cereals even instant cereals why not
  • 00:06:58
    just because of the the seed oils and
  • 00:07:00
    the refined sugars and the refined
  • 00:07:02
    starches but glyphosate it's not going
  • 00:07:05
    to be listed as one of the ingredients
  • 00:07:07
    because legally they don't have to put
  • 00:07:08
    it on the label but they can volunteer
  • 00:07:11
    using a different name bioengineered
  • 00:07:13
    ingredients okay you might see that that
  • 00:07:16
    means glyphosate now in certain parts of
  • 00:07:19
    the world where they use a lot of
  • 00:07:21
    glyphosate in agriculture the workers
  • 00:07:24
    who work the fields have a much higher
  • 00:07:26
    risk of chronic kidney disease because
  • 00:07:29
    of the heavy exposure to this glyphosate
  • 00:07:32
    the other thing to know is that anything
  • 00:07:33
    gml like soy corn cotton seed is going
  • 00:07:37
    to have glyphosate on it but also things
  • 00:07:39
    that are not gml like oats and wheat
  • 00:07:43
    because they use glyphosate to dry out
  • 00:07:46
    these grains during the processing of
  • 00:07:48
    them and so even though it's not GMO
  • 00:07:50
    they're still using them so we talked
  • 00:07:52
    about all the foods to avoid okay but
  • 00:07:54
    now the question is what to eat to
  • 00:07:57
    improve kidney function and for that
  • 00:07:59
