If your doctor and your lab tests are giving you more questions than answers in this video
you'll find loads of useful information Remember you are not alone so never lose hope
Kidney disease can be slowed down and in some cases even reversed with some simple changes
to your renal diet I'm here to help you doing this in this video
I will try to provide as much support as I can I will answer any question in the comment
section so feel free to ask There's always a way to improve our health and getting the
right information is the first step I'll get in deep about the three step program
in just a minute but first: what is GFR is it different from eGFR and why is it so important?
GFR is maybe the most meaningful indication of kidney function GFR stands for glomerular
filtration rate and it's used to define the stage of chronic kidney disease you're in
The glomeruli is the filtering part of the kidney and the GFR shows how much blood goes
through them in each minute eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate
denotes just another way to measure GFR Both value should be the same or very similar
So should you be worried about your GFR?
Well it depends: how high is your GFR?
If it is less than 60 your kidney may have an impairment Immediately talk to your doctor
and schedule the necessary tests to get a diagnosis
Usually when the GFR drops below 15 your physician will have you to start dialysis You may want
to be inserted in a transplant list Always get tested regularly and do any other
test recommended by your doctor So here we go the three step program specifically
engineered to help kidney patients to increase GFR
Step 1 dietary supplements I've put some dietary supplements first because
they can help people at any stage of kidney disease
Vitamin D is one of the best remedies for the kidneys and should be present in any renal
diet Has your doctor already prescribed it to you?
Vitamin D is essential to maintain the right levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood
is used to build and maintain strong bones and since it is often low in kidney patients
you have to find a way to get more of it The best foods to get vitamin D are sardines
salmon halibut and other fatty fish Other foods like some cereals and milk are fortified
and contains vitamin D too Getting enough exposure to sunlight is another way to get
vitamin D If you want to take vitamin D supplements
talk to your doctor first Oligosaccharides are carbohydrates found in
small amounts in many plants with a distinctive characteristic: they are almost not digestible
and can reach the colon unbroken where they perform the function of a prebiotic
A prebiotic supports your digestive tract health A recent study found out that oligosaccharides
and prebiotic are incredibly useful for kidney patients They have benefits like: improved
calcium absorption decreased inflammation improved immune function decreased mortality
rate lowered cholesterol lowered triglycerides They're basically a miracle food
How to include them in your diet?
Foods rich in oligosaccharides include: chicory root Jerusalem artichokes onions leeks garlic
legumes wheat asparagus jicama Step 2 renal diet to increase GFR
There are foods that support the kidneys and foods that overburden them The kidneys main
job is to purify and detoxify the blood Foods rich in toxins are what puts all the strain
on your kidneys and should be carefully avoided I'll talk about them in the last part
What you need to eat to replace them are foods capable of helping the kidneys removing the
toxins Once you start eating detoxifying foods instead
of foods full of additives and chemicals you'll guaranteed to start seeing results
1 Apples are full of pectin This fiber can bind to heavy metals and even cholesterol
and can remove them from the body Eat with abandon
2 Flaxseeds are full of omega3s and as I've shown in my previous videos omega3s are proven
to repair kidney damages Flaxseed oil is also known for its cleansing properties
3 Garlic the active ingredient of garlic allicin is a compound with antibiotic antifungal antiviral
and antimicrobial properties that can make a difference in protecting your kidneys It
can also help with hypertension Studies have shown that eating garlic on an empty stomach
maximizes its efficacy 4 Cranberries the favorite berries of all
kidney patients Cranberries prevents bacteria from spreading through the urinary tract like
an antibiotic but without the nasty side effects Most effective if taken as a supplement
5 Kale is not just packed with fibers: it has powerful antioxidant and anticancer properties
thanks to its 45 flavonoids It is thought to be the healthiest vegetable on hearth Make
it a regular on your table 6 Lemon is a powerful detoxifier and can help
acidifying the urine It is also rich in vitamin C and can inhibit the formation of kidney
stones 7 Water is the most important thing for your
kidneys If you don't have restrictions on water intake drink up to 12 cups of water
during the whole day to support your kidney health
Step 3 what to avoid to detoxify your kidneys There are a number of foods supplements beverages
and drugs that have been proven to wreak havoc on your kidneys The kidneys are always the
body's first line of defense against toxic ingredients and chemicals but they are also
taking the biggest blow Avoid all the unnecessary drugs and medications
NSAIDs are one of the worst Several studies have proven their nephrotoxicity Aspirin naproxen
ibuprofen especially when used to manage chronic pain have been shown to cause serious kidney
problems Avoid them at all costs soft drinks are even worse Several studies
have shown a direct correlation between regularly drinking carbonated beverages and kidney disease
Soft drinks lead to diabetes hypertension kidney stones and obviously kidney disease
Be it with sugar or zero or diet it's still a treat to your kidneys Something to completely
avoid if you want to increase GFR processed and packaged foods should come with
a dangerous for the kidneys stamp on the label They are high in all the things someone on
a renal diet should be careful to avoid: salt sugar preservatives added flavors and sweeteners
bad habits like smoking drinking too much a sedentary lifestyle and being often dehydrated
are also very dangerous and are very high on the list of things that can cause a kidney
damage Try your best to avoid them
The best part about this is that this 3 step program is the start of a journey towards
your health I know this really seems a lot and could be
overwhelming at first But a journey towards our health becomes easier and easier the more
closer you get to your goal So never lose hope
