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
information you should watch this video
00:08:00
right here
