top nine drinks to stop proteinuria and
00:00:02
heal your
00:00:03
kidneys proteins are essential for
00:00:05
building and repairing our bodies
00:00:07
normally proteins stay in the
00:00:09
bloodstream because they are too large
00:00:10
to pass through the filtering system of
00:00:12
healthy kidneys when significant amounts
00:00:15
of protein are found in urine it's
00:00:17
called
00:00:17
proteinuria in our previous video we
00:00:20
explained extensively the major causes
00:00:22
and symptoms of
00:00:24
proteinuria in case you haven't watched
00:00:26
that video we'll provide a summary here
00:00:28
normally adult UR and protein levels are
00:00:31
less than 150 mg after collecting the
00:00:34
urine for 24 hours levels between 150
00:00:38
and 500 Mig are considered moderate
00:00:41
proteinuria severe proteinuria occurs
00:00:44
when protein levels reach more than 500
00:00:47
mg when diving into this topic you might
00:00:50
see the terms proteinuria and
00:00:51
albuminuria used interchangeably but
00:00:53
they actually mean different things
00:00:56
proteinuria means there is too much
00:00:58
protein of any kind in the urine
00:01:01
albura is when the urine specifically
00:01:03
contains too much albumin the most
00:01:06
common protein found in blood often
00:01:09
there are no symptoms with proteinuria
00:01:11
but in some cases the urine may look
00:01:13
frothy and the person may develop
00:01:15
swelling or edema urine protein levels
00:01:18
can temporarily increase after exercise
00:01:21
or
00:01:21
illness however if they persist it could
00:01:24
indicate kidney disease and reducing
00:01:27
proteinuria can help protect your
00:01:28
kidneys from further damage Dage to
00:01:31
lower protein in the urine we need to
00:01:33
treat its root cause which is often
00:01:35
kidney disease triggers for kidney
00:01:38
disease include high blood pressure high
00:01:40
blood sugar and high blood cholesterol
00:01:42
levels The increased force from high
00:01:45
blood pressure injures the filtering
00:01:47
units of the kidneys causing proteins to
00:01:49
leak into the urine elevated blood sugar
00:01:52
from diabetes can damage small blood
00:01:55
vessels in the kidneys which then
00:01:57
affects the filters and leads to protein
00:01:59
loss
00:02:00
additionally cholesterol can form
00:02:02
plaques along the artery walls blocking
00:02:05
blood flow to the kidneys which impairs
00:02:07
their function and also causes
00:02:09
proteinuria this is why keeping blood
00:02:11
pressure blood sugar and blood
00:02:13
cholesterol levels in check is important
00:02:15
to prevent kidney damage in our previous
00:02:18

proteinuria nine berry smoothie this
00:02:52
smoothie is a mix of berries and other
00:02:54
kidney friendly fruits Blended to make a
00:02:56
drink that supports Kidney Health each
00:02:59
Berry type has its its unique value
00:03:01
offering various kidney benefits
00:03:03
especially for
00:03:04
proteinuria for example strawberries are
00:03:07
rich in antioxidants like
00:03:09
anthocyanins they help to counteract the
00:03:11
effects of oxidative stress and
00:03:13
inflammation in the body by reducing
00:03:15
these kidney damaging factors
00:03:17
antioxidants from strawberries can
00:03:19
promote the health of kidney cells
00:03:22
additionally certain nutrients and
00:03:23
strawberries help lower cholesterol
00:03:26
levels this has the potential to reduce
00:03:28
and prevent the buildup of in blood
00:03:30
vessels that obstruct blood flow to the
00:03:32
kidneys blueberries are another kidney
00:03:34
friendly option like strawberries they
00:03:37
are rich in antioxidants such as
00:03:40
anthocyanins a 2004 study found that a
00:03:43
cup of cultivated blueberries provides
00:03:45
9,019 antioxidants while wild or low
00:03:49
Bush blueberries are packed with
00:03:52
13,42 antioxidants per cup blueberries
00:03:56
have been shown to lower cholesterol
00:03:58
levels that's because berries are high
00:04:00
in fiber which helps remove cholesterol
00:04:02
from the blood by promoting its
00:04:04
excretion from the body in the form of
00:04:06
bile next honeysuckle berries may help
00:04:09
filter out heavy metals and Drug toxins
00:04:12
which can reduce strain on the kidney
00:04:14
filtration system moreover the
00:04:17
anthocyanins in Honeysuckle berries can
00:04:19
help improve blood flow and reduce
00:04:21
inflammation which can greatly benefit
00:04:23
the kidneys another popular kidney
00:04:25
friendly Berry is aai berries which are

labeled integrated Pest Management
00:05:00
or IPM for short they use a variety of
00:05:03
Pest management techniques and chemical
00:05:05
pesticides are only adopted when other
00:05:07
methods fail to protect the plant better
00:05:10

active component of turmeric and can
00:06:06
help with protein Nua it does this by
00:06:09
stopping the actions of chemicals in the
00:06:11
body called cyto kindes which cause
00:06:13
inflammation that can harm the kidneys
00:06:16
inflammation can damage the filtering
00:06:18
system letting proteins leak into the
00:06:20

consuming turmeric may help protect
00:06:37
against kidney damage caused by
00:06:39
oxidative stress in this study
00:06:41
researchers gave rats gentamycin a drug
00:06:44
known to induce kidney damage in high
00:06:46
doses one group of rats was given
00:06:49
turmeric and ginger prior to the drug
00:06:51
after analyzing the markers of kidney
00:06:53
damage in these rats they found that
00:06:55
turmeric and ginger significantly
00:06:57
protected the kidneys from damage caused
00:06:59
by gyin and reduced oxidative stress in
00:07:03
a review article published in 2022 in
00:07:05
the Iranian Journal of kidney diseases
00:07:07
researchers analyzed how oral turmeric
00:07:10
supplements affected proteinuria in
00:07:12
patients with chronic kidney disease or
00:07:14
CKD for short they found that curcumin
00:07:18
supplementation led to a notable
00:07:20
decrease in proteinuria in those taking
00:07:22
it compared to those not taking it this
00:07:25
suggests that turmeric could be a

inflammation that worsens protein area
00:08:36
plus this fruit contains many
00:08:37
kidney-friendly nutrients like vitamin K
00:08:40
one cup of pomegranate a oils contains
00:08:43
28.6 microgr of vitamin K and the
00:08:46
recommended daily value for adults is
00:08:48
120
00:08:50
micrograms CKD often leads to vitamin K
00:08:52
deficiency which can cause heart and
00:08:54
Bone problems low vitamin K levels also
00:08:58
seem to worsen CKD and its symptoms like
00:09:01
proteinuria so eating more vitamin K
00:09:03

00:09:05
beneficial for your kidneys in a 2024
00:09:09
study published in the Journal of
00:09:10
nutrition and food security researchers
00:09:12
investigated the impact of pomegranate
00:09:15
juice on kidney damage induced by
00:09:17
lithium in rats they discovered that
00:09:20
giving pomegranate juice along with the
00:09:21
lithium to one group of rats lowered
00:09:23
their blood creatinine levels which
00:09:26
demonstrated less kidney damage than in
00:09:28
those given lithium alone also the
00:09:31
group's blood Uria levels went down
00:09:33
showing that pomegranate helps protect
00:09:35
kidneys from lithium poisoning this
00:09:38
kidney protecting effect may come from
00:09:40
pomegranates antioxidants such as
00:09:42
vitamin c and e anthocyanins Punic
00:09:46
calogen elic acid and gallic acid these
00:09:50
antioxidants have been shown to help
00:09:51
protect the kidneys from damage caused
00:09:53
by oxidative stress and harmful
00:09:55
substances such as heavy metals plus
00:09:59
anti oxidants have beneficial effects on
00:10:01
the cardiovascular system including
00:10:03
lowering blood pressure which helps
00:10:05
protect kidney function the high levels
00:10:07
of natural potassium and pomegranate may
00:10:10
also help regulate blood pressure but
00:10:12
keep in mind too much potassium is not
00:10:15
good for some people with CKD so make

pomegranate to lower blood pressure has
00:10:26
already been established although the
00:10:28
reductions are are minimal in 2017
00:10:32
researchers reviewed eight clinical
00:10:33
trials to determine if drinking
00:10:35
pomegranate juice can help lower blood
00:10:38
pressure the analysis showed that on
00:10:40
average systolic blood pressure and
00:10:42
diastolic blood pressure the upper and
00:10:45
lower numbers of blood pressure readings
00:10:47
dropped by 4.96 mm of mercury and 2.01
00:10:51
mm of mercury
00:10:53
respectively a more recent review
00:10:55
analysis in 2024 showed similar but more
00:10:58
subst anal
00:11:00
reductions now if you want to drink more
00:11:02
pomegranate juice for Kidney Health note

00:11:37
in kidney friendly vitamins and
00:11:39
minerals first lemon contains potassium
00:11:42
a mineral that helps regulate blood
00:11:44
pressure by balancing the amount of
00:11:46
sodium in the body this can help protect
00:11:49
the kidneys filtering units and reduce
00:11:51
protein leakage into the urine moreover
00:11:54
drinking lemon juice can help improve
00:11:56
digestion and overall metabolic Health
00:11:58
poten potentially helping regulate blood
00:12:01
glucose this is great because
00:12:03
maintaining stable blood sugar levels
00:12:05
reduces the risk of diabetes a common
00:12:08
cause of kidney damage and subsequent
00:12:10
protein
00:12:11
loss also many phytonutrients in lemons
00:12:14
work as antioxidants to protect kidney
00:12:17
cells from damage caused by oxidative
00:12:20
stress plus the antioxidants in lemon
00:12:23
particularly vitamin C can help repair
00:12:25
cell injuries and improve blood
00:12:27
cholesterol levels furthermore this
00:12:30
citrus fruit helps increase citrate
00:12:33
intake animal studies revealed that
00:12:35
citrate decreased protura in diabetic
00:12:39
rats additionally it is known that
00:12:41
citrate binds to calcium in the
00:12:43
digestive tract reducing the amount that
00:12:46
enters the bloodstream and preventing
00:12:48
the formation of calcium oxalate
00:12:50
crystals a common component of kidney
00:12:53
stones while kidney stones do not
00:12:56
directly cause proteinuria preventing
00:12:58
kidney stones can improve Kidney Health
00:13:00
overall and help in the management of
00:13:02
proteinuria lemons can be used in many
00:13:05
ways some recommend squeezing one lemon
00:13:08
into a glass of 150 M water every

alkaline nature this may help the body's
00:15:11
efforts to balance the pH levels keeping
00:15:13
the blood pH within the normal range as
00:15:17
we get older our kidneys might not work
00:15:19
as well and the blood tends to be more
00:15:21
acidic too much acidity might play a
00:15:24

best taste yellow spots mean they're
00:16:48
overripe four beetroot juice beetroot is
00:16:53
rich in potent antioxidants such as
00:16:55
balines vitamin C and B and nitrates
00:16:59
betal Lanes the major active compound in
00:17:01
beetroot are protective against kidney
00:17:04
injury and the effects of high blood
00:17:06
pressure both are known causes of
00:17:08
protura as we mentioned before also
00:17:12
beetroot has demonstrated positive
00:17:14
effects for people with CKD including
00:17:16
reducing blood pressure decreasing
00:17:18
inflammation and reducing oxidative
00:17:21
stress therefore consuming beetroot can
00:17:24
be considered a therapeutic strategy to
00:17:26
support CKD treatment in a 2015 study
00:17:30
published in the journal hypertension
00:17:32
patients with high blood pressure drank
00:17:34
250 mil of beetroot juice daily after 4
00:17:38
weeks their blood pressure returned to
00:17:40
normal levels this effect was found to
00:17:43
be due to the high levels of inorganic
00:17:45
nitrate found in beetroot which helps
00:17:47
widen blood
00:17:48
vessels before you buy beets to make
00:17:51
juice here are some shopping tips First
00:17:54
Look for roots that have a good Ruby
00:17:56
color and are firm it's best to choose
00:17:58
CH a beetroot that is mediumsized and
00:18:00
round in shape try to select beetroots
00:18:03
that have a small top and tail and
00:18:05
bright green tops if still attached you
00:18:08
can use the leaves and salads so nothing
00:18:10
goes to waste if you don't like the
00:18:12
flavor of beets try adding some lemon it
00:18:16
also makes a kidney friendly juice the
00:18:19
ratio is up to you but a good start is
00:18:21
two beetroots and one lemon note that
00:18:24
beetroot is also high in potassium so if
00:18:27
you have kidney disease it's important
00:18:29
to consult your doctor about the need to
00:18:31
limit beetroot in your diet three ginger
00:18:34
tea ginger has been widely used to ease
00:18:37
nausea and
00:18:38
vomiting studies on the therapeutic
00:18:40
actions of this herb have demonstrated
00:18:42
its powerful anti-inflammatory and
00:18:45
antioxidant effects ginger has also been
00:18:48
shown to protect the kidneys and reduce
00:18:51
protein Uria a recent comprehensive
00:18:54
review of the evidence in human studies
00:18:56
found that ginger has shown promise in
00:18:59
managing type 2 diabetes obesity and
00:19:03
arthritis these conditions promote
00:19:05
inflammation or high blood sugar the two
00:19:08
common causes of protein leakage into
00:19:11
urine in a 2015 clinical trial published
00:19:14
in nutrition the researchers analyzed
00:19:17
the effects of ginger on blood sugar in
00:19:19
36 patients undergoing perianal
00:19:22
dialysis these patients were randomly
00:19:24
assigned to consume either 1 gram per
00:19:26
day of Ginger or a placebo for 10 weeks
00:19:30
at the end of week 10 the group taking
00:19:32
Ginger showed up to a 20% decrease in
00:19:34
fasting blood sugar levels compared to
00:19:37
their Baseline readings which was a
00:19:39
significant difference from the
00:19:40
reductions seen in the placebo group
00:19:43
ginger has also been shown to improve
00:19:45
blood lipid levels and have favorable
00:19:48
effects on blood pressure this pungent
00:19:51
spice contains potent antioxidants
00:19:53
including gingerol shols and zingerone
00:19:56
with cooking that work to reduce
00:19:58
oxidative stress in a 2019 study
00:20:02
published in the Saudi Journal of
00:20:03
biological sciences researchers
00:20:05
investigated the effects of ginger
00:20:07
extract on cadmium induced kidney
00:20:09
toxicity in
00:20:11
rats cadmium is a heavy metal that
00:20:14
causes kidney dysfunction tissue damage
00:20:16
and oxidative
00:20:18
stress after being intoxicated with
00:20:20
cadmium the rats were given Ginger
00:20:23
extract this treatment significantly
00:20:25
improved their kidney function and
00:20:27
antioxidant status
00:20:29
suggesting Ginger's protective effect
00:20:31
against kidney
00:20:32
toxicity ginger tea is a perfect treat
00:20:35
after dinner but commercial ginger tea
00:20:38
sometimes contains added sugars or
00:20:40
additives the tea in these tea bags also
00:20:43
offers less antioxidant benefits due to
00:20:45
processing so it's better to choose
00:20:47
fresh ginger to make an even more kidney
00:20:50
friendly tea add a little lemon or lime
00:20:53
juice note that ginger beer isn't a
00:20:56
kidney friendly option because it often
00:20:58
can contains a lot of added sugar One
00:21:01
Source indicates 40 G per 12 O serving
00:21:04
which is equivalent to 10
00:21:06
tspoons also Ginger extract and
00:21:09
supplements provide a much higher dose
00:21:11
of active compounds than fresh ginger
00:21:13
which are thought to increase the risk
00:21:15
of
00:21:16
bleeding since the evidence is still
00:21:18
unclear be cautious about taking these
00:21:20
if you are on blood
00:21:22
thinners two cranberry juice cranberry
00:21:26
juice has a long-standing reput for
00:21:29
promoting urinary tract and Kidney
00:21:31
Health initially it was thought that
00:21:34
cranberry acidified the urine making it
00:21:36
less hospitable to
00:21:38
bacteria scientists later found that
00:21:40
cranberries prevent bacteria from
00:21:42
sticking to cell membranes of the
00:21:44
urinary tract potentially helping reduce
00:21:47
the risk of
00:21:48
UTI these effects are due to
00:21:50
antioxidants like anthocyanins and
00:21:54
proanthocyanidin another great benefit
00:21:56
of cranberries is their vitamin K
00:21:58
content content Recent research suggests
00:22:01
that vitamin K might help treat chronic
00:22:03
kidney disease related bone and heart
00:22:05
disease though the right dosage isn't
00:22:07
clear yet still getting natural vitamin
00:22:11
K from cranberries is a good option for
00:22:13
patients with kidney disease cranberries
00:22:17
are also safe for patients with chronic
00:22:19
kidney disease due to their low levels
00:22:21
of potassium phosphorus and
00:22:23
sodium 1 cup which is 110 G of
00:22:27
cranberries provide provides only 1 to
00:22:29
2% of the recommended daily value for
00:22:32
these
00:22:33
minerals when choosing Cranberries for
00:22:35
juicing pick ones that feel firm and
00:22:38
bouncy good cranberries should look
00:22:40
slightly opaque and have a bright
00:22:42
Scarlet or fire engine red color the
00:22:45
brighter the Hue the riper and more
00:22:48
beneficial they
00:22:49
are remember not to wash cranberries
00:22:52
before putting them in the fridge or
00:22:53
freezer just rinse them well right
00:22:56
before you use them some patients with
00:22:58
chronic kidney disease might opt for
00:23:00
cranberry juice as an alternative to
00:23:02
water to reap its anti-inflammatory
00:23:05
benefits however managing fluid and
00:23:08
sugar intake is important for patients
00:23:10
with
00:23:11
CKD try to balance the amount of
00:23:13
cranberry juice you drink with your
00:23:15
overall fluid needs so be mindful of
00:23:18
store-bought juice that can contain
00:23:20
added sugar it's best to ask your doctor
00:23:24
to determine your optimal
00:23:26
intake one green tea green tea is a
00:23:30
widely popular drink made from the
00:23:32
leaves of the chamelia census plant in
00:23:35
human studies green tea supplementation
00:23:38
has been shown to reduce overall
00:23:40
cholesterol levels blood sugar and blood
00:23:43
pressure so drinking this tea is like
00:23:46
giving your kidneys a spa
00:23:48
treatment unlike many other teas green
00:23:51
tea is made from raw and unprocessed
00:23:53
leaves meaning that it retains most of
00:23:55
its natural antioxidants like kakin
00:23:58
which are excellent at neutralizing free
00:24:00
radicals and help reduce
00:24:02
inflammation moreover the polyphenols in
00:24:05
green tea also help improve how your
00:24:07
body uses insulin to manage blood sugar
00:24:10
in a 2019 review researchers
00:24:13
investigated the potential of a caken
00:24:15
type in green tea called minus
00:24:18
epigallocatechin 3 gate commonly known
00:24:21
as
00:24:22
egcg the evidence demonstrated that egcg
00:24:25
shows promise for treating or preventing
00:24:27
acute and chronic kidney dis disease
00:24:29
kidney injury nephrotoxicity and kidney
00:24:32
stones however most research in this
00:24:35
area has been limited to animal
00:24:37
studies therefore further clinical
00:24:39
trials are necessary to confirm green
00:24:41
Tea's kidney protecting
00:24:44
effects green tea and egcg have also
00:24:47
been tested for other potential
00:24:49
metabolic health benefits for diabetes
00:24:52
and heart disease prevention human
00:24:54
studies show better results with 3 to
00:24:56
four cups of tea 600 to9 00 mg of kakin
00:25:00
daily the optimal amount is still a
00:25:03
matter of debate but note that green tea
00:25:05
does contain caffeine studies suggest
00:25:08
that healthy adults can safely enjoy up
00:25:11
to 400 Mig of caffeine a day one typical
00:25:14
8 O cup of green tea contains about 30
00:25:17
to 50 Mig of caffeine whereas the same
00:25:20
amount of coffee has 80 to 100 mg which
00:25:23
means you'd have to drink 8 to 13 cups
00:25:26
to reach the limit while while that's a
00:25:28
lot of tea it's always best to enjoy
00:25:31
your caffeinated drinks in
00:25:32
moderation caffeine can stay in your
00:25:35
body for up to 6 hours so try not to
00:25:37
have green tea late in the day instead
00:25:40
enjoy it in the morning for a nice
00:25:42
energy
00:25:43
boost green tea comes in many varieties
00:25:46
and choosing the high quality ones is
00:25:47
important for your Kidney Health the
00:25:50
simplest tip is to choose loose leaf tea
00:25:52
instead of tea bags tea bags are often
00:25:56
made from lowquality leaves and
00:25:58
processing can reduce polyphenol
00:26:00
benefits it's always smart to do some
00:26:03
research on your own to check the te's
00:26:05
quality try to avoid green tea with very
00:26:08
generic names or with information that
00:26:10
is too
00:26:11
General usually the more specific the
00:26:14
name the higher the quality for instance
00:26:17
if you see the label green tea at the
00:26:19
store it's probably a lowquality green
00:26:22
tea Japanese green tea might be a bit
00:26:25
better and gyokuro is likely even higher
00:26:29
quality here is another tip for flavor
00:26:32
consider the type of water you
00:26:34
use water with a neutral pH is great for
00:26:37
infusing green tea higher pH leads to
00:26:41
the oxidation and degradation of kakin
00:26:44
while lower pH levels can reduce the
00:26:46
Tea's
00:26:47
Aroma also to get the best flavor from
00:26:49
your green tea try using water with
00:26:52
fewer minerals tea brewed in Mineral
00:26:55
Rich water can turn out stronger and
00:26:57
more bitter in taste
00:26:59
Plus Mineral Water tends to reduce the
00:27:02
levels of volatile compounds that give
00:27:04
green tea its distinctive
00:27:06
flavor
00:27:07
precautions curcumin is generally safe
00:27:10
when taken at the recommended
00:27:12
doses however longterm use can lead to
00:27:15
peptic ulcers stomach upset and
00:27:17
increased bleeding risk particularly if
00:27:20
taken with blood
00:27:21
thinners If you experience persistent
00:27:24
stomach issues or are taking blood
00:27:27
thinners consult your doctor before
00:27:29
drinking turmeric milk or consuming any
00:27:31
product containing
00:27:33
curcumin also note that the acid from
00:27:36
lemons can harm your tooth enamel so
00:27:39
dilute your lemon juice with water and
00:27:41
try to avoid drinking it
00:27:43
continuously if you notice increased
00:27:45
tooth sensitivity or enamel erosion
00:27:48
discuss these issues with your dentist
00:27:51
another concern is that pomegranates and
00:27:53
beetroots are rich in potassium which
00:27:56
can cause trouble for some people with
00:27:57
kidney
00:27:58
disease unhealthy kidneys may not filter
00:28:02
potassium well causing high potassium
00:28:04
levels in the blood which can lead to
00:28:06
chest pain difficulty breathing kidney
00:28:09
failure or even Cardiac Arrest the good
00:28:13
news is that not all patients with
00:28:15
kidney disease have to limit their
00:28:17
potassium intake in early CKD higher
00:28:21
potassium intake may even help slow
00:28:23
disease progression but these results
00:28:25
are unclear for advanced stages
00:28:28
in addition dialysis is specifically
00:28:31
designed to filter potassium from your
00:28:33
blood if you are on certain types of
00:28:35
dialysis treatments you might need to
00:28:37
consume more potassium instead of
00:28:39
limiting it so before trying pomegranate
00:28:43
or beetroot juice consult your
00:28:45
nephrologist or dietitian to determine
00:28:47
the appropriate amount for your
00:28:49
condition generally people with kidney
00:28:52
disease can still enjoy pomegranates and
00:28:54
beetroots if their blood potassium
00:28:56
levels are not high
00:28:59
also note that beets are high in
00:29:01
oxalates which can cause kidney stones
00:29:04
if you are at risk for kidney stones
00:29:06
enjoy beetroot juice in
00:29:09
moderation it's best to inform your
00:29:11
healthc care provider about all drugs
00:29:13
and supplements you are taking plus any
00:29:15
changes in your diet they need to be
00:29:18
aware of any alternative therapies you
00:29:20
are using to prevent harmful
00:29:21
interactions and ensure your safety
00:29:24
protein Uria an excess of protein in the
00:29:27
urine can signal underlying kidney
00:29:29
disease often caused by chronic
00:29:32
conditions such as diabetes and
00:29:34
hypertension preventing proteinuria
00:29:37
involves managing these underlying
00:29:39
conditions medically and maintaining
00:29:41
your overall Kidney Health through diet
00:29:43
and lifestyle
00:29:44
changes incorporating kidney-friendly
00:29:46
drinks like turmeric milk berry
00:29:48
smoothies lemon water pomegranate juice
00:29:52
cucumber juice beetroot juice ginger tea
00:29:56
cranberry juice and green tea can
00:29:58
support kidney function these drinks
00:30:01
contain antioxidants anti-inflammatory
00:30:04
properties and other beneficial
00:30:06
compounds that help reduce protein
00:30:08
levels in urine and protect against
00:30:10
further kidney damage these drinks are
00:30:13
generally safe but if you have kidney
00:30:15
disease or any other health issues it's
00:30:17
important to inform your doctor about
00:30:20
any changes in your diet even small
