blood sugar levels and kidney health! mmmmm
hello Katherine from 00kidney here, welcome to our journey together to a better kidney health.
This kidney tonic I have for you today is a promising tool in our mission to control,
slow down and eventually reverse the progression of chronic kidney disease.
It's a very easy recipe, actually. We just need
2 teaspoons of raw honey. But it should be real, raw honey.
This is very, very important. Raw honey is a great source of antioxidants,
so powerful they can even protect your kidneys from high blood pressure.
And, incredibly, Raw honey is even considered a low glycemic index food!
Unfortunately, most honey you can find off the shelf in the supermarket
is FAAAAKE honey - usually mixed with high fructose corn syrup.
This would quickly undo all the benefits of this remedy!
But don't worry, I'll show you the best way to find real honey in a moment,
so please don't skip that part of the video. for our tonic we also need
1 tablespoon raw apple cider vinegar with "the Mother".
An incredibly healthy ingredient, ACV can lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels!
But not all brands of ACV are the same! So, today, I'll also show
you what ACV is best for kidney health. Now, for our tonic we also need 1 tablespoon
of lemon juice, preferably organic and freshly squeezed. Great to make your body more alkaline.
Let's just add A PINCH of cayenne pepper This is not just for the taste, cayenne pepper
contains capsaicin, a powerful anti-inflammatory with pain relieving properties.
Now we just need to mix the ingredients in a glass and add warm water to taste.
Drink all of it during or immediately before your breakfast.
The benefits should be immediately visible, It offers very powerful detoxing properties: it is
proven to lower your cholesterol levels, stabilize blood sugar levels and to alkalize your body!
Yes, when it comes to taking care of your kidneys the combined effect of these 4,
cheap and easy to find ingredients, can make an incredible difference,
especially if you drink one cup every day before breakfast.
And, when you try this recipe, let me know in comment section if it works for you!
Now, this drink will have effects on your blood sugar levels and on your blood pressure.
So, it's always best to check with your doctor for medical advice and treatment before starting to
take it, if you are suffering from a diagnosed condition of if you are taking medications.
Now guys, let's talk about honey. Is honey healthy for people
with kidney problems? YES! But only if it's real.
Raw honey can have impressive health benefits to help improve kidney function.
Where raw honey shines, is in its content of bioactive plant compounds and antioxidants.
These antioxidants can lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol,
lower triglycerides and even reduce the risk of blood clot formation in your arteries.
Raw honey is even a low glycemic index food, meaning that people with diabetes can use it
in small amounts as a sweetener. Now, the only problem with honey
is that supermarkets mostly sell fake, SOMETIMES even counterfeit honey.
Supermarket honey is typically heated to very high temperatures,
which essentially cooks out all the healthy pollen in the honey.
And, what many corporations do is mixing this pasteurized honey, which doesn't
have many benefits to begin with, with high fructose corn syrup, an artificial sugar.
Very, very bad, and not just for people with diabetes.
Fluctuations in blood sugar, like those caused by added sugar consumption,
are a major cause of chronic inflammation, that can lead to heart disease, kidney disease,
diabetes and even cancer. Actually, discovering that
many brands were pushing fake honey as the real thing was quite a scandal,
right before the current world events hit us. The ACCC even fined two companies for selling
"Turkish Sugar Syrup" labelled as honey. And to make things worse,
today, there are few federal standards for honey, no government certification
and no consequences for making false claims. In fact, even honey labeled as "organic" and
"pure" do not indicate that the honey was unheated.
Not so funny when you think about diabetic people that will get a spike in blood sugar levels
for eating a supposedly healthy food. So, How can you find real, raw honey?
First, don't go to the grocery store or to the supermarket to buy honey,
go to your nearest farmer's market. Raw honey looks like this:
it has a lot of crystals. So, buy locally-produced honey
and you are MUCH more likely to get a product that is 100% honey derived from bees and not some
unhealthy, industrially made sugary mixture As an alternative, if you can't find honey
directly from the beekeeper, to make sure you are buying raw honey, look at the label.
It should say "100% raw" or "unpasteurized". Words like "organic" and "pure" do not indicate
that the honey was unheated. Not all brands can be trusted,
so I've linked down in description some that are however known to be safe.
Now, the next thing here is apple cider vinegar, or ACV in short.
This ingredient is responsible for many of the health benefits of this tonic.
First of all, it is proven to lower your blood sugar.
Studies, have documented Improved Blood Sugar Levels and Insulin Sensitivity
in Diabetics who drinks ACV regularly. And this is especially helpful if you
drink it before the main meal of the day. Your body is going to process the sugar in
it without spikes in your blood sugar levels if you drink acv.
It also Improves Heart Health as studies have shown that ACV
lowers Cholesterol and reduces the Blood Pressure But acv also has some powerful detoxing
properties for your kidneys Drinking ACV regularly can help
with diabetes, some types of cancer, high cholesterol, urinary tracts problems. It is
even proven to help you lose weight. Now, unfortunately, just like honey,
ACV is a healthy staple which has been ruined by the food industry.
In fact, store bought ACV will mostly look like this:
This is clear, you can see trough it. It means that it has been filtered and pasteurized.
And, like for honey, this processing
will also remove many health benefits. In fact, buying ACV with the mother is the
best way to be sure you are buying raw, organic, unfiltered ACV.
What is "the mother" in ACV, and why does it matter?
When apple cider vinegar undergoes a slow fermentation process,
it creates a buildup of yeast and sugars, which is also a probiotic.
This buildup of desirable micronutrients is called "the mother," and it usually collects
at the bottom of the AVC bottle or floats around in strands, making it appear cloudy.
You'll find this in certain brands, like Bragg organic, raw apple cider vinegar, for example.
Now, good lemons are easier to find than honey, fortunately.
This is just a fruit, no corporation can completely
alter it for profit like they do with honey. So, if you can find organic lemon is good,
but you can settle for regular, fresh lemons too.
They're still very healthy. And although lemon juice tastes sour and acidic,
studies found that it actually has alkaline effects on the kidneys, once it's metabolized.
Which provides your kidney with a detoxifying boost.
Another major benefit of lemon is that it helps detox the liver.
And one of the main responsibilities of the liver is to get rid of toxins. When
your liver is healthy, it helps the kidneys more than you can imagine.
Not to mention that drinking lemon juice every day also helps to reduce
inflammation and the risk for kidney stones. Ok, our last ingredient is cayenne peppers.
And it's not here just for the taste: cayenne pepper is great for your kidney health.
It is found to be a natural fat burner and has anti-inflammatory effects.
Both of those aspects are helpful in detoxing the kidneys.
And, not many people know this, but Capsaicin, the active ingredient in
hot peppers is a natural pain reliever. It works especially well against headaches
but also joint pain, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis
And, according to some research, capsaicin may also work for nerve pain caused by diabetes.
This works because Capsaicin depletes a nerve cell known as Substance P that
transmits pain signals to our brain. You can even find pain relieving
patches and pills made from capsaicin. And cayenne peppers are a great source of
capsaicin, they're really hot. Now, very important.
When to Drink Apple Cider Vinegar Detox Drink Take this before breakfast for a few weeks
to jump-start your system. Drinking it in the morning will
allow you to absorb the nutrients quickly and get your digestive system moving.
And while this drink will really help detoxing your kidneys by itself, it could
be a great support for a full kidney detox. And also consider pairing this remedy to an
alkaline diet. The alkaline diet works especially well to detox the kidneys,
because it generates less acid, which put a lot of burden on the kidneys.
Watch this video up here if you want to know what the best foods for an alkaline diet are.
Bottomline There's nothing better than
feeling well, and knowing that you are doing something good for your kidneys.
And making this apple cider vinegar detox tonic is a great small step to take for better health!
But remember, the battle for kidney disease is a march not a sprint.
You need to do something good for your kidneys every day.
