00:00:08
powerful effect on your health right
00:00:10
including your kidneys
00:00:12

00:00:28
Friendly Foods into your diet
00:00:31
in our video today we have a list of 12
00:00:34
nutritional recommendations that can
00:00:37
help protect and preserve your kidneys
00:00:40
when worked in alongside the advice from
00:00:43
your doctor of course
00:00:45
so make sure to watch the entire video
00:00:47
to get all the details and information
00:00:50
so you can make informed decisions about
00:00:54
nourishing and protecting your kidneys
00:00:57
for life
00:00:58
now our kidneys perform numerous vital
00:01:01
tests throughout the body right the
00:01:03
kidneys filter the waste and surplus
00:01:06
water from the blood creates urine
00:01:08
regulate electrolytes and assist in
00:01:12
managing your blood pressure and even
00:01:13
your blood sugars
00:01:15
the kidneys also regulate your pH it
00:01:18
filters proteins really absorbs them
00:01:21
eliminates poisons packed for uh or by
00:01:25
the liver another function of the kidney
00:01:28
is to create actually various hormones
00:01:32
what are they vitamin D
00:01:34
etropoietin these are our two primary
00:01:37
hormones screeded by the kidneys
00:01:40
so the kidneys are responsible the Lost
00:01:42
organ to actually create the active
00:01:44
vitamin D although you can take vitamin
00:01:46
D from the diet or from the Sun but you
00:01:51
know the real vitamin D the active
00:01:53
vitamin D is created in your kidneys
00:01:55
now vitamin is really required for
00:01:57
calcium absorption your bone health and
00:02:00
maintenance of your immune system
00:02:02
control
00:02:03
so what does illustrial poison does if
00:02:06
you have advanced kidney disease you
00:02:08
probably know this hormone because
00:02:09
doctors will give it to you because your
00:02:11
kidney cannot make it anymore right
00:02:13
electropoietin stimulates the synthesis
00:02:15
of red blood cells
00:02:17
so it helps your body maintain Optimum
00:02:20
oxygen levels through a good amount of
00:02:22
red blood cells in your blood
00:02:25
so your kidneys are always working day
00:02:27
and night right
00:02:28
they are processing more than 200 quarts
00:02:31
of blood and get rid of more than two
00:02:34
cores of waste and water
00:02:36
a healthy kidney filters around half a
00:02:39
cup of blood each minute to remove waste
00:02:42
extra water and increase urine urine
00:02:45
then passes from the kidneys to the
00:02:47
bladder and then after that you know
00:02:48
what happens
00:02:49
the urinary tract includes your bladder
00:02:52
your kidneys your ureters right they all
00:02:54
have to be healthy
00:02:56
the waste elimination mechanism that the
00:02:58
kidneys conduct is critical without that
00:03:01
the poisons the acids will accumulate in
00:03:05
your circulation and your lymph tissue
00:03:08
this has the ability to poison your
00:03:10
entire body and cause tissue damage
00:03:13
everywhere toxins the extra water
00:03:16
unstable pH like acidic pH and any High
00:03:20
increase in your blood pressure
00:03:21
electrolytes that are accumulating like
00:03:23
too much potassium too little sodium Etc
00:03:26
can all place a significant burden on
00:03:29
the blood vessels and your heart
00:03:31
now more than 40 million American adults
00:03:35
have kidney disease can you believe that
00:03:37
so what's our population 300 40 million
00:03:41
have kidney disease what majority of
00:03:43
them think that they're just fine and
00:03:46
most of them are unaware there are
00:03:49
various types of kidney disease but
00:03:51
chronic kidney disease is the most
00:03:53
frequent
00:03:54
especially for a big research factor for
00:03:57
cardiovascular disease it's a chronic
00:03:59
condition that doesn't improve with time
00:04:01
either so you have to preserve it
00:04:05
now high blood pressure is frequently to
00:04:07
blame in addition to your diabetes but
00:04:10
additional kidney issues like kidney
00:04:12
stones urine tract infections
00:04:15
glomerulonephritis which happens with
00:04:16
autoimmune disorders they are all going
00:04:19
to cause inflammation in your kidneys
00:04:22
and eventually affect the glomeruli
00:04:25
which are the tiny vessels in your
00:04:27
kidneys that does the filtering
00:04:30
many people do not notice symptoms of
00:04:33
kidney illness until the kidneys are
00:04:36
totally failing and there's a lot of
00:04:38
protein in their urine and even then
00:04:40
their GFR or creatinine will stay stable
00:04:44
but having protein in your kidney is a
00:04:47
big sign that your kidneys will fail
00:04:49
very quickly and you will end up with
00:04:52
heart attacks or Strokes even before
00:04:54
dialysis so take protein in the urine
00:04:56
very very seriously
00:04:59
now kidney disease symptoms may include
00:05:02
if it is Advanced you know you will
00:05:04
start getting itchy dry skin you will
00:05:07
have urge to urinate frequently
00:05:09
you'll have tiredness and low energy you
00:05:12
may have foamy urine because of the
00:05:13
protein in there
00:05:15
and you may have swelling in your foot
00:05:17
and ankle because you cannot get rid of
00:05:19
the water
00:05:20
again diabetes and high blood pressure
00:05:22
are the two main causes of kidney damage
00:05:25
now both of them harm your nephrons
00:05:28
which are individual units in your
00:05:30
kidneys
00:05:31
they are microscopic filtering units
00:05:33
that does the job for you now each of
00:05:36
your kidney has approximately 500
00:05:41
000 of these filtering nephrons
00:05:44
so they function by restoring the vital
00:05:46
elements to the circulation or
00:05:48
reabsorbing them and eliminating the
00:05:50
trash right
00:05:51
so following a diabetes and high blood
00:05:55
pressure controlling lifestyle will
00:05:57
significantly minimize your chances of
00:05:59
developing kidney disease along with the
00:06:01
foods that I'm going to talk today
00:06:04
of course you try to avoid kidney stones
00:06:06
Etc as well
00:06:08
so
00:06:09
renal failure or kidney failure can be
00:06:12
caused by autoimmune problems as well
00:06:14
which sometimes hard to manage with just
00:06:16
diet alone but genetic problems
00:06:18
infections toxins physical trauma to
00:06:21
your kidneys all will cause problems and
00:06:25
kidney failure
00:06:26
maintaining a healthy weight is an
00:06:28
important step and there's so many
00:06:30
studies showing that obesity and
00:06:32
excessive weight is a problem for your
00:06:34
kidneys and survival of your kidneys and
00:06:37
obesity also increases risk of diabetes
00:06:40
and high blood pressure but even if you
00:06:41
didn't have diabetes and high blood
00:06:44
pressure just being obese will increase
00:06:46
your risk of kidney failure
00:06:49
so
00:06:50
some measures to lower your risk of
00:06:52
getting kidney problems are number one
00:06:54
is exercise which is underrated again
00:06:57
most people don't want to deal with it
00:06:59
but it's great for maintaining healthy
00:07:02
blood vessels heart and cholesterol
00:07:04
you should never smoke right and because
00:07:08
when you are a smoker toxins are
00:07:11
released into circulation more and
00:07:14
smoking has a lot of toxins now kidney
00:07:16
has to deal with it
00:07:17
and stay hydrated right so one of the
00:07:21
primary causes of kidney stone is lack
00:07:23
of hydration
00:07:24
so if you are an addict to coffee and
00:07:28
sodas or colas you may want to calm down
00:07:31
and get less of it
00:07:33
because it will dehyde radio so if
00:07:35
you're just drinking colas and coffee
00:07:36
then you will not have water in your
00:07:38
system as much and you will have
00:07:40
excessive amount of phosphorus because
00:07:42
the phosphorus is one of the things that
00:07:44
kidneys are trying to eliminate all the
00:07:46
time so if you are getting colas and
00:07:49
sodas even a bit of their diet they have
00:07:52
a lot of phosphorus which basically
00:07:55
makes the kidneys job very difficult
00:07:58
so
00:07:59
avoid the foods that have been
00:08:01
extensively processed and refined
00:08:03
because they're a bunch of junk and
00:08:04
guess what they have to be eliminated
00:08:07
the things that are high in saturated
00:08:09
fats or trans fats or free radicals too
00:08:11
much sugar too much sodium they can add
00:08:14
to the already heavy strain on your
00:08:17
kidneys
00:08:18
they also even if your kidneys don't
00:08:20
fail you will still end up with obesity
00:08:22
or heart disease or high blood pressure
00:08:23
right so
00:08:26
another thing if you already have kidney
00:08:28
disease or signs of kidney disease
00:08:31
keep track of your protein intake now a
00:08:34
high protein diet can potentially harm
00:08:36
the kidneys now some people go on a
00:08:39
Carnival diet for example right so if
00:08:41
you're a healthy young individual trying
00:08:42
to lose weight Etc
00:08:44
carnivore died for a while may not be a
00:08:46
big problem but if you're a diabetic
00:08:48
already dealing with kidney problems
00:08:50
that's going to be a big problem your
00:08:53
sugars will go down on Carnivore diet
00:08:55
but your kidneys will succumb
00:08:57
so why because high protein ingestion
00:08:59
causes harmful ketones and products
00:09:03
especially urea and you have to clear
00:09:05
these poisons the kidneys will go into
00:09:08
overdrive and you're going to increase
00:09:10
the strain on these poor little organs
00:09:13
the kidneys spend a lot of time it needs
00:09:17
a lot of water to flush these hazardous
00:09:18
proteins byproducts and ketones away
00:09:22
eating too much meat also implies
00:09:24
consuming a lot of cholesterol saturated
00:09:26
fat as well unless you're eating you
00:09:29
know unless you have a lot of money and
00:09:30
you always eat the highest quality meat
00:09:32
which is not the case for most people
00:09:35
then you're going to end up accumulating
00:09:36
a lot of calories a lot of saturated fat
00:09:38
and so forth
00:09:40
instead choose a clean plant-based
00:09:43
protein most of the time I'm not saying
00:09:45
don't eat meat eat but in moderation and
00:09:47
choose plant-based proteins more often
00:09:51
also you can consume smaller amounts of
00:09:53
protein like a couple ounces instead of
00:09:55
a whole chicken for example right
00:09:57
instead of having a you know 16 ounce of
00:09:59
a steak you know you can go over a eight
00:10:01
ounce six ounce steak right
00:10:03
so that will help your kidney and heart
00:10:05
function
00:10:06
now if you are eating carbohydrates with
00:10:09
high fiber that will also slow the
00:10:11
absorption that will also help your
00:10:13
kidneys deal better with the protein and
00:10:16
anything else but here are the 12 best
00:10:18
foods to reverse kidney damage
00:10:22
that's why you're watching the video but
00:10:23
I wanted to give you a good run down so
00:10:26
that you understand what kidney disease
00:10:28
means and what you need to do overall
00:10:31
these 12 foods are very important to
00:10:34
make sure that your kidneys are
00:10:35
functioning very well number one red
00:10:38
bell peppers now these bell peppers are
00:10:41
low in potassium because if you have
00:10:44
kidney disease you don't want to have
00:10:45
excessive potassium but you still want
00:10:46
to have healthy diet right
00:10:48
and these bell peppers are high in
00:10:50
vitamin C that are high in folate
00:10:52
vitamin B6 and fiber which is most of
00:10:55
you need when you have diabetes and
00:10:56
kidney disease
00:10:58
there's a lot of antioxidants which
00:11:00
helps with energy production blood flow
00:11:02
and Metabolism throughout your body
00:11:04
Now red blood cell production is also
00:11:07
important right we talked about your
00:11:08
kidney actually helps with red blood
00:11:10
cell production so you will need folate
00:11:12
and B6 and that will help
00:11:14
Now red bell peppers also contain
00:11:17
lycopene it's a potent antioxidant that
00:11:20
protects the kidneys and prevents the
00:11:23
kidney failure
00:11:24
number two is cabbage now cabbage
00:11:27
contains fiber folate vitamin B6 vitamin
00:11:31
C vitamin K and the fiber in the cabbage
00:11:33
and other leafy greens slow the nutrient
00:11:36
absorption this allows the kidneys and
00:11:38
the liver to process the inflow of
00:11:41
anything to your bloodstream of course
00:11:44
if you have bloating and problems with
00:11:46
these Foods you have to also ease into
00:11:48
them you don't want to jump into them
00:11:50
too quick or change your diet
00:11:52
drastically right away
00:11:53
but if you can tolerate fiber in these
00:11:56
foods prevent blood sugar spikes which
00:11:59
is also not good for your kidney disease
00:12:01
if that's happening too often
00:12:03
a lot of you think that you're doing
00:12:05
great because your fasting blood sugars
00:12:06
are great but most of you don't realize
00:12:09
that you spike after you eat I tell my
00:12:12
patients after you eat a lot of people
00:12:14
Spike their blood sugar 100 to 200
00:12:16
points without knowing and thinking that
00:12:18
oh my blood sugar is 100 right now I'm
00:12:20
good and they never see the 200 300
00:12:23
blood sugar that happens only a few
00:12:24
hours after they eat and that is a
00:12:28
problem so you have to keep an eye on
00:12:30
post meal blood sugars which damages all
00:12:33
the blood vessels including the blood
00:12:35
vessels in your kidneys
00:12:37
now Vitamin K is also important for
00:12:40
coagulation right cabbage includes a
00:12:43
high concentration of pizza nutrients
00:12:45
which function as an antioxidant as well
00:12:48
and anti-inflammatory and vitamin K
00:12:51
auliflower and broccoli number three
00:12:54
they have a lot of vitamin C and folate
00:12:56
as we discussed important for red blood
00:12:58
cells cauliflower is high in fiber and
00:13:02
anti-inflammatory chemicals whether your
00:13:04
kidneys are healthy or simply sluggish
00:13:07
cruciferous veggies are really
00:13:09
beneficial for them
00:13:11
they should be avoided if your kidneys
00:13:13
are in bad shape or if you have gout
00:13:15
though so keep that in mind
00:13:18
now number four is leafy greens why
00:13:20
leafy greens are high in vitamin C
00:13:22
folate and fiber and vitamin K and a
00:13:24
variety of phytonutrients that help
00:13:27
reduce the kidney stress lower the blood
00:13:30
pressure and balance the blood sugar and
00:13:33
fight the inflammation which is a big
00:13:36
thing in kidney disease
00:13:38
now consider including mustard greens
00:13:41
dandelion leaves and turned Greens in
00:13:43
your diet as well dandelion in
00:13:46
particular promotes urine production
00:13:49
cleansing the kidneys and lowering your
00:13:52
blood pressure
00:13:53
number five is you're more familiar with
00:13:56
this one is garlic so Allison is found
00:13:59
in garlic and onions and shallots and
00:14:02
chives and leeks but allicin is an
00:14:05
organic sulfur molecule with an
00:14:07
anti-inflammatory effects it also fights
00:14:10
illnesses lowers the blood pressure and
00:14:12
can function as an antioxidant which
00:14:15
your kidneys need
00:14:16
number six is asparagus asparagus
00:14:19
especially the Asperger's talks has a
00:14:22
lot of fiber asparagus phytonutrients
00:14:25
decrease the blood pressure and have a
00:14:28
cleaning impact on the kidneys and
00:14:30
bladder by increasing neural output and
00:14:33
breaking down uric acid which is very
00:14:36
important to clear from your body
00:14:39
this is again going to help the
00:14:41
prevention of course but if you already
00:14:44
have kidney disease you should avoid
00:14:46
asparagus since it is high in potassium
00:14:48
so if you're having problems with high
00:14:50
potassium and high phosphorus and you
00:14:52
have an advanced kidney disease then
00:14:54
that may not be the best option
00:14:56
number seven apples apples are a good
00:14:58
source of fiber it can't spark your
00:15:01
blood sugar if you do too much I agree
00:15:02
but the fiber in the apple is
00:15:05
particularly effective at binding too
00:15:08
and removing toxins from the digestive
00:15:10
tract especially the skin of the Apple
00:15:14
before the body can absorb them so that
00:15:16
gives time for your kidney and reduce
00:15:19
the burden on your kidneys right apples
00:15:22
also lower inflammation and cholesterol
00:15:25
levels there you have it three birds in
00:15:28
one stone number eight is berries
00:15:30
berries like raspberries blackberries
00:15:33
blueberries they are great for Kidney
00:15:36
Health detox
00:15:38
berries are low in calorie they once
00:15:41
back your blood sugar they are high in
00:15:43
antioxidants they are high in
00:15:45
phytonutrients which all help protect
00:15:48
your kidney cells and nephrons
00:15:51
they include vitamin C fiber folate and
00:15:55
manganese as well as a lot of
00:15:57
anti-inflammatory properties
00:15:59
so
00:16:00
some such as cranberry also known to
00:16:03
suit the universe system so if you have
00:16:05
infections actually a lot of people
00:16:06
drink cranberry juice just don't do too
00:16:09
much to avoid blood sugar spikes but
00:16:11
sometimes it can even help prevent
00:16:12
infections
00:16:14
blueberries raspberries strawberries
00:16:17
cherries in small amounts also all help
00:16:20
in kidney protection and cleansing
00:16:23
raspberries especially contain something
00:16:25
called elagic acid which is an
00:16:28
antioxidant that has been linked to
00:16:30
prevention of kidney disease and even
00:16:32
certain cancers
00:16:34
barriers overall provide incredible
00:16:37
antioxidants and health benefits the
00:16:39
number nine you heard this from me like
00:16:42
maybe a million times but extra virgin
00:16:45
olive oil
00:16:47
preferably cold pressed
00:16:49
or nuts and seeds and avocado or avocado
00:16:52
oil they contain vital fatty acids that
00:16:54

cholesterol and can alleviate the pain

of kidney stones that's interesting
00:17:02
right
00:17:03
some helpful fatty acid Rich oils also
00:17:07
are found in Moringa oil which I have a
00:17:09
video about Moringa as well olive oil is
00:17:12
a good source of healthful fatty acids
00:17:14
and is phosphorus free which you don't
00:17:16
want in your system when you have kidney
00:17:18
problems
00:17:19
the majority of the fat in olive oil is
00:17:22
oleic acid it's a monounsaturated fat
00:17:26
oleic acid is well known for its
00:17:29
anti-inflammatory effects
00:17:31
number 10 melons now you're gonna be
00:17:34
like what melons are high in sugar well
00:17:37
but they are a high in
00:17:38
anti-inflammatories antioxidants and
00:17:40
provide a good source of hydration
00:17:43
especially in summer
00:17:44

00:17:46
beach you're running around eating some
00:17:48
melons it's not going to hurt you right

00:17:51
go take a walk eating melons is not
00:17:52
going to help your blood sugars
00:17:54
especially if you're eating in
00:17:56
moderation because they help cleaning
00:17:58
your kidneys your blood and your bladder
00:18:00
even watermelon they're high in water
00:18:02
and it's something called lycopene
00:18:04

00:18:08
in plant cells it not only gives foods
00:18:11
like the Watermelons and tomatoes
00:18:13
they're red color but it is also a very
00:18:17
strong antioxidant that's why we say
00:18:20
keep your plate colorful anything

00:18:27
now number 11 is ginger for hundreds of
00:18:31
years the spice has been utilized as a
00:18:33
digestive eight right so especially in
00:18:36
in China Japan ginger has been
00:18:39
demonstrated to protect the kidneys from
00:18:41
diabetes as well even from alcohol and
00:18:43
dehydration
00:18:44
now Ginger especially when you pair it
00:18:47
with thyme
00:18:49
May provide even more protection as the
00:18:51
thyme has been shown to reduce blood
00:18:54
pressure and cholesterol levels too
00:18:56

00:19:09
similarly protect the kidneys from harm
00:19:12
albedos potassium contained makes it a
00:19:14
little unsuitable for people who already
00:19:16
have advanced kidney disease but still
00:19:18
it is pretty good
00:19:20
if you're watching your potassium levels
00:19:22
but through the blood right to get the
00:19:25
most out of the spice dough combined
00:19:27
with some black pepper so preparing is
00:19:29
the active element in black pepper when
00:19:32
piperine is combined with curcumin the
00:19:35
main component in turmeric it creates a
00:19:38
potent mixture
00:19:40

anti-inflammatory characteristics and
