Chronic Kidney Disease

⬤ What is the Function of Our Kidneys?
✅ The kidneys are responsible for getting rid of waste products, drugs, and toxins through our urine.

⬤ Your kidneys also:

● Regulate electrolyte (salt) concentrations
● Regulate amount of fluid within the body
● Help regulate blood pressure
● Help maintain acid-base balance
● Produce hormones that affect blood and bones
● A kidney is composed of tiny units called nephrons
● Nephrons consist of glomeruli and tubules
● Glomeruli are small blood vessels that filter wastes and excess fluids
● Tubules collect the waste to form urine

⬤ Chronic Kidney Disease
❌ Kidney damage and decreased function that lasts longer than 3 months is called chronic kidney disease (CKD). Chronic kidney disease is particularly dangerous because you may not have any symptoms until considerable, often irreparable, kidney damage has occurred. Diabetes (types 1 and 2) and high blood pressure are the most common causes of CKD.

⬤ 6 Things People with Kidney Disease Should Do:

● Lower high blood pressure
● Manage blood sugar levels
● Reduce salt intake
● Avoid NSAIDs, a type of painkiller
● Moderate protein consumption
● Get an annual flu shot

⬤ 9 Things - KIDNEY DISEASE AWARENESS:

● Exercise regularly
● Control weight
● Follow a balanced diet
● Quit smoking
● Drink only in moderation
● Stay hydrated
● Monitor cholesterol levels
● Get an annual physical
● Know your family medical history

OVER-THE-COUNTER - NSAIDS & KIDNEY DISEASE

⬤ What Are NSAIDs? - Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
❌ Kidney Killer Pills: https://youtu.be/TItHzGVckCU
❌ Bad Habits for your kidneys: https://youtu.be/4R_BXkkTBWo

⬤ Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory are pills that reduces pain, decreases fever, prevents blood clots, and in higher doses, decreases inflammation.

❌ Examples of NSAIDs include:
● Aspirin
● Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin) Ibuprofen is an NSAID available in both OTC and prescription strengths.
● Naproxen sodium and naproxen (Aleve), etc.

❌ What is the safest Nsaid?
✅ Based on the most up-to-date evidence, ibuprofen appears to be the preferred NSAIDs based on its favorable GI and nephrotoxicity profiles. Naproxen might be considered in patients who have greater cardiac risk.

❌ NSAIDS and Chronic Kidney Disease
✅ People with chronic kidney disease are generally advised not to take NSAIDs, with the exception of aspirin (for cardiovascular indications). NSAIDs have been associated with acute kidney injury in the general population and with progression of disease in those with chronic kidney disease.

✅ Foods That Fight Pain
● Ginger
● Blueberries
● Pumpkin Seeds (if you suffer from CKD, potassium control)
● Salmon
● Turmeric
● Extra Virgin Olive Oil
● Chili Peppers
● Vitamin D, the most important Vitamin to protect your kidney health: https://youtu.be/hw6AYoBVs18
● green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, kale, and collards
● Nuts like almonds and walnuts.

STROKE & HEART HEALTH

 

● What is the importance of heart health?

✅ To maintain cholesterol and blood pressure

✖️ Besides a heightened risk for heart attack, stroke and heart failure, you're also more likely to develop peripheral artery disease, angina, vision loss and kidney disease or failure.

✖️ Eating steaks, sausages, and other red meats high in saturated fat could lead to a stroke. An elderly person who eats red meat is more likely to have an ischemic stroke because saturated fat causes blockages in blood vessels that supply blood to the brain.

● STROKE PREVENTION

✅ Try to limit saturated fats, foods high in sodium, and added sugars. Eat plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables, and whole grains.
✅ The DASH diet is an example of an eating plan that can help you to lower your blood pressure and cholesterol, two things that can lower your risk of heart disease.
✅ Get regular exercise.
✅ Control high blood pressure (hypertension). Know your numbers and keep them low.
✅ Quit Smoking. Smoking raises the risk of stroke.
✅ Control diabetes.
✅ Drink alcohol in moderation.
✅ Drink water throughout the day.

● STROKE AND POTASSIUM RICH FOODS

✅ According to the American Heart Association, people who consume foods higher in potassium are less likely to have a stroke than those who consume less potassium-rich foods. ✅ Bananas are just one great example of a food packed with potassium.

Exercise and Kidney Disease

⬤ Heart Pumping Activities? Your Cardiologist Says “Yes!”
⬤ How to Keep your Kidneys Healthy in 5 Steps: https://youtu.be/XvlaCIYWxBY
⬤ Kidney Disease and Exercise

✅ Resistance exercise, even on a low-protein diet, has been shown to build muscle and strength in kidney patients. Cardiovascular and resistance exercise can help reduce morbidity and mortality, as well as improve quality of life, in patients with CKD.

⬤ Did you know?

✅ Getting your heart beating faster than it's resting rate each day trains your body to move oxygen and blood to your muscles more efficiently.
Like other muscles, your heart becomes stronger with regular physical activity.
What does this mean?
As your cardiovascular fitness improves, your heart muscle doesn't have to work as forcefully to pump oxygen-rich blood through your body.

⬤ Exercise may help prevent stroke by helping to reduce other risk factors, including high blood pressure and obesity.

⬤ The benefits of moving more are numerous and include:

✅ Strengthening the heart muscle.
✅ Better cholesterol - Improved HDL or “good” cholesterol.Lowering LDL or “bad” cholesterol.
✅ Lowering blood pressure.
✅ Improving kidney function.
✅ Improving your mood by reducing the risk or intensity of depression and anxiety.
✅ Supporting better sleep.
✅ Reducing stress.
✅ Improving balance and joint flexibility.
✅ Reducing inflammation - studies also have shown regular exercise reduces inflammation, which is associated with Type 2 diabetes.
✅ Slowing the aging process – increased blood flow improves the appearance of skin.
✅ Maintaining your weight and Body Mass Index (BMI).

Processed Foods and Kidney Disease

šŸ”“ Processed Foods

✅ Food processing is the transformation of agricultural products into food, or of one form of food into other forms. Food processing includes many forms of processing foods, from grinding grain to make raw flour to home cooking to complex industrial methods used to make convenience foods.
A variety of different techniques are used to process food. Any food that's processed is usually frozen, canned, dried, baked, or pasteurized.

šŸ”“ What's considered a processed food?

✅ According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), processed food is defined as any raw agricultural commodity that has been subject to washing, cleaning, milling, cutting, chopping, heating, pasteurizing, blanching, cooking, canning, freezing, drying, dehydrating, mixing, packaging or other procedures.

šŸ”“ These 5 Cooking Mistakes Can DAMAGE Your Kidneys: https://youtu.be/TVZOXJ_p6FM

šŸ”“ Despite processed food's bad reputation, there are actually several items you can (and should) indulge in guilt-free.

✅ Yogurt
✅ Frozen Veggies
✅ Tomato Sauce
✅ How to Use Potassium to beat kidney disease: https://youtu.be/z2f3qNpFAv4
✅ Sauerkraut
✅ Probiotics to boost kidney health: https://youtu.be/yHn0-vblf7I
✅ Chickpeas and canned Beans
✅ Oats, granola
✅ Veggie Burgers
✅ Unsweetened Almond Milk
✅ Organic Jelly
✅ Fortified Cereals
✅ Freeze-dried Fruit
✅ Pickles
✅ Dark Chocolate
✅ Ezekiel Bread
✅ Natural Peanut Butter
✅ String Cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, brie...)

šŸ”“ Dangerous Processed Foods for your body, heart, kidneys... you MUST avoid

❌ Bacon
❌ Chocolate Bars
❌ Flavored nuts
❌ Microwave popcorn
✅ There’s nothing wrong with popcorn (as long as you go easy on the salt and butter) and there’s nothing wrong with microwaving food. What’s so bad about microwave popcorn then?
It’s in the bag. Perfluoroalkyls are just one class of chemical found in microwave popcorn bags. Some studies have linked perfluoroalkyls with health problems as diverse as impaired kidney function and poor semen quality.
❌ Margarine
❌ Ketchup
❌ Instant ramen

šŸ”“ All things in moderation

✅ Processed foods aren’t a modern invention. They’ve been around since the first barrel of salt pork sailed across the Atlantic. They are convenient and give us access to foods that would otherwise perish in transit.
Enjoy them in moderation, and use common sense. Check the nutrition labels to avoid anything high in fats, sugars, and chemicals you can’t pronounce. Be sure to make fresh, simple ingredients the focus of your diet.

Prediabetes - MUST KNOW

⬤ 7 Foods and Drinks to Avoid with Diabetes

1. Sugar-sweetened beverages
Sugary beverages are the worst drink choice for someone with diabetes.
2. Trans fats
Trans fats are found in margarines, peanut butter, spreads, creamers, and frozen dinners. Furthermore, food manufacturers often add them to crackers, muffins, and other baked goods to help extend a product’s shelf life.
Although trans fats don’t directly raise blood sugar levels, they’ve been linked to increased inflammation, insulin resistance, and belly fat, as well as lower levels of HDL (good) cholesterol.
3. Refined grains, rice, and pasta
Eating bread, bagels, and other refined-flour foods has been shown to significantly increase blood sugar levels in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
4. Sweetened breakfast cereals
Eating cereal can be one of the worst ways to start your day if you have diabetes.
Despite the health claims on their boxes, most cereals are highly processed and contain far more carbs than many people realize.
5. Flavored coffee drinks
Coffee has been linked to several health benefits, including a reduced risk of diabetes.
6. Packaged snack foods
Pretzels, crackers, and other packaged foods aren’t good snack choices.
7. French fries
French fries are a food you may want to steer clear of, especially if you have diabetes.
Deep-frying foods has been shown to produce high amounts of toxic compounds, such as advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and aldehydes. These compounds may promote inflammation in the body.

Lemon Water and Kidney Disease

šŸ”“ LEMON WATER & CKD.
✅ Is it a Good Kidney Cleanse?

Over the years many studies have shown that regular consumption of lemon water is not only good for the kidneys but for overall health.
People with kidney disease have to continually be cautious about the foods they eat and drink; the reason is that certain foods may cause harm to the kidneys.
When it comes to beverages, there is no question that water is the safest beverage.
However, some people, generally in later stages, with kidney disease amay have to limit the amount of water they drink or it can lead to water retention.

šŸ”“ Lemon water has three important benefits:

1) vitamin C protects the kidney from inflammation and free radicals;

 2) the extra fluid cleanses the kidney by removing the toxins;

 3) the acidity of the juice can help prevent the development of certain types of kidney stones.

šŸ”“ Maximizing the benefits of lemon water

For people with kidney disease who want to get the maximal benefits from lemon water, it is important to change lifestyle and this means doing the following:

● Do not smoke; nicotine has no health benefits and in fact, it is one of the most toxic substances.
● Control your blood sugars: if you have kidney disease, make sure that you are compliant with your diabetic treatments and maintain your sugar levels on the low side.
● Eat a healthy diet: it is important for people with kidney disease to eat a healthy diet. This means eating fruits, vegetables, a variety of nuts, whole wheat, seafood, and grains. It is important to limit the intake of red meat. Use unsaturated oil for cooking.
● Exercise: all individuals with kidney disease should try and remain physically active. The type of exercise is irrelevant; one can even walk as it is as good an exercise as any. The key is to perform physical activity regularly. Exercise has many benefits for people with kidney disease;
✅ It helps with weight loss.
✅ It lowers blood sugar.
✅ It drops blood cholesterol.
✅ It is associated with a lowering of blood pressure.
● Avoid alcohol: people with kidney disease should avoid alcohol as this beverage has no health benefits.
