THE RIGHT DIET CAN HELP FIGHT KIDNEY DISEASE

KIDNEY DISEASE

When living with chronic kidney disease, managing what you eat and drink can be a challenge.

Some of the waste in your blood comes from foods you consume, so following a proper diet can help avoid a buildup. This can reduce stress on your kidneys, which can slow the progress of kidney disease.

There is a group of products that is recommended to be included in our diet plan.

Skim milk, cantaloupe and brown rice may be the keys to prevent kidney disfunction. According to research, junk food, smoking and obesity can cause kidney disease in otherwise healthy people.

A group of scientists led by Alexander Chang, MD of Loyola University Medical Center found that people with normal kidney function and no hypertension or diabetes whose diet was high in red meat, sugar-sweetened beverages and low in fruit and whole grains were 97% more likely to develop kidney disease. Additionally, obese people or those with BMI over 30 were nearly three times more likely to develop kidney disfunction. Those who smoked were 53% more likely to develop it.

Researchers also pointed a connection between sugary sweet beverages and the development of chronic kidney disease. Those who drink more than 4 sugary sweet beverages each week had a 150% increased chance of developing kidney disease. “Consumption of these beverages has recently been linked to the presence of protein in the urine, one of the earliest signs of kidney disease, ” said Dr. Chang. “It’s possible that the fructose in these drinks is uniquely metabolized, promoting production of uric acid which has been shown to cause hypertension and reduced blood flow to the kidney in rat models.”
