What Foods will Lower Your Creatinine and increase your GFR? | The Cooking Doc®
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 тра 2024
- Today I am going to cover one of the most popular questions I get from people that comment on my videos or when patients visit me at the office - "What foods can I eat to help lower my creatinine?".
The goal with anyone with chronic kidney disease is to improve or maintain kidney function. That is measured from Creatinine levels or Glomerular Filtration Rate (aka GFR) in a routine blood test. With kidney disease the goal is to keep creatinine lower, which means the kidneys are filtering better, and their GFR higher.
In this week's video we are going to talk about if there is any food, drink or trick you can do to help lower your creatinine. You may have heard that red pepper, cabbage, berries or even nettle tea can help do this. Or maybe you have heard eating lots of red meat can help do this. We are going to discuss all this and more. Give it a watch and be sure to like, subscribe and comment.

Working as a kidney doctor, I found that my patients were often unaware of just how important diet and lifestyle were and how often they felt unsupported by generic advice to “eat healthy”.
The home cook in me hated hearing this, so I set out to find a better way. I began to combine my medical training and love of food, making videos of simple recipes that were based on science and packed with flavor. Instead of just saying “eat healthy” to my patients, I could give them the resources they needed to make a real difference in their health.
Kidney doctor, passionate home cook, and UA-cam sensation Dr Blake Shusterman empowers people to proactively manage their health by stepping into the kitchen. The author of several cookbooks with over 100,000 UA-cam subscribers, The Cooking Doc® believes anyone, at any age can transform their health with small changes that make a big difference. Based on science and packed with flavor, Dr. Blake’s simple recipes have inspired home cooks everywhere to change their diet, retrain their taste buds, and transform their health.

About seven years ago i started having problems w/HBP and urinary problems. There was also associated pain in abdomen and back. But with the exception of one infection, the only one I ever had in my 65 years, no one looked at the problem as maybe kidney. I never had HBP, DIABETES or any disease related to Kidney problem. But they chalked it up to digestive issues and pretty much thought I was a complainer.
Then at age 70 my left kidney failed. So much pain! I went to my care provider and they did a CT and discovered a 7.5 cm cyst on that kidney and they sent me home with antibiotics and pain meds. The next day I went in again in worse shape. They gave me IV pain MEDS and antibiotics and sent me home. On the third day I went back and someone finally arranged to have a radiologist drain the cyst. I went to the urologist afterward and he recommended unroofing and removal of the cyst and moving the ureter as the CT showed things were pretty twisted up in there. Then strangely he didn’t pursue that even though he was enthusiastic about doing it. But the cyst came back with a vengeance. And I kept trying to get them to remove it. Six monnths later the cyst had brought the left kidney function to 0. They finally scheduled the surgery.
When you say trust your doctor, I cringe. I now have about 29% function in that kidney, so we saved that much with the surgery. And I ate mostly veggies and was careful with everything I ate. I believe if they had removed the cyst initially that would not have happened. I have never ate much red meat and still dont. I never had a high creatinine in my life until this happened at age 70. And though I have been physically active and healthy most of my life I feel my doctor let me down. I changed my insurance and now am in a different system with more care and saw a nephrologist for the first time last June, a year after my surgery. I really think the urologist did a great job, but I believe the system he works in prevented him from doing the surgery earlier. My GFR had to get in the low forty range before he did the nuclear kidney function test. I had to wait another month for my surgery. As one Urgent Care doc put it, “Your warranty is up.” He was right. When you have medicare and med advantage I think it is a limited warranty service. I haven’t lost my sense of humor through it, but I no longer trust my medical doctors like I used to.
So do I trust doctors. I am, sadly, dubious.
Wow! Scary stuff that I know a lot of Veterans like myself can relate to. Blessings.
Sorry that happened to you. I met people put on dialysis who didn't need it. Found out when his doctor left town. His new doctor told him he didn't need it
Dang, so you were somewhat healthy and STILL had kidney issues?? Doesn't exactly inspire confidence...
Damn I sure don’t blame been there were like an assembly line just roll us by yes no maybe so at as times it’s to late ⏰ that’s what I’m feeling now , but keep grinding Nancy ❤️🩹
I live in a 3rd world country known for its slums and poverty. But I can tell you, our medical systems are much better than any in the US. All major operations are subsidised and affordable thanks to socialism and medical insurance isn't cut throat yet. Do visit India if you need expert medical intervention, transplant etc, you will be amazed by the medical tourism here.
Thank you for being honest, so positive and encouraging!
I had a nephrectomy in 2019 as I had a cancerous tumour,this has been so helpful to me. I know I’m supposed to eat low protein loads of veg but didn’t know how to lower my creatinine Thankyou ..
Excellent video!! I have multiple myeloma (18 years). My creatinine was 173 today before I had my cancer treatment. My hematologist told me to drink more water. I do have red meat but only about 3 oz. The rest is beans, homemade salads etc...
My levels are slightly elevated 1.21 and I’m so happy I came across your page.. Thank you
He said trust your doctor!! I did, and just now he tell me I have CKD and he never alluded to it in the years i have been seeing him! Now, I am educating myself and trying to improve my overall health!! And finding another doctor!!
Same thing happened to me. I even heard nurses say I smelled like creatinine and ammonia but was never diagnosed until I was in end stage. Then they put me on warfarin and dialysis, and now I have severe calcified arteries and need open heart surgery. I have to be my own doctor
same here,i had a blood test for something else it was picked up over 5 years ago,my doctor never told me
Wow, thanks for your direct honesty. Refreshing and helpful.
Annoyingly realistic and honest. Who doesn't want that!
Hi my friend I thank you for your help today and your good words about the health
Thanks for the info!
great video,honest and precise thank you
A good honest video, thank you very much.
Thank you Dr. For your advice, Godbless you more
Thank you for good information .
Thanks for the video! Appreciate it 🙏🏼
My Dad is 72 and had two heart attacks by artery blockages during his 50s. He also has diabetes and High Blood Pressure and High Sugar chronic diseases. Recently he's diagnosed with deteriorating Kidney functions due to increased Creatinine levels.
This video completely cleared my doubts as to the causes of the kidney issues.
And what is the measures for the long term approach here.
Another great great healthy informative video..
Listen! Honest info as to how to eat and therefore do less harm to our kidneys. Thank you.
Thanks for your nice information
Thanks fr ur explanation doc 🙏
Thank you so much Dr Blake, for the useful points to reduce creatinine.
Good Job You are a perfect Doctor ❤
Ok i stumbled upon this video, my Cowboy made a lifestyle change as far as his diet in 2015 when we found out he was stage 3 CKD, so he is doing great still in stage 3 and drinking lots of distilled water 💦 daily we both drink one gallon per day. Lots of fresh veggies and no meat ❤
BP?
THANK YOU DOC
Great vid, thanks.
Hi Doc!! I am 57 yrs old, 118 lbs and strength train 5/weeks with very low fat and high muscle mass. My creatinine is 100 and egfr is 54. Can this mean that my creatinine is high because I have alot of muscle mass for my age? I have limited my protein,, cut out red meats, low sodium and potassium diet. Should I be worried? Doctor is scheduling a bladder/kidney ultrasound as well. All my other rests are fantastic. Thank you
Best advice I've ever heard. There are no magic bullets or shortcuts. Ya gotta do what's good for your kidneys and avoid what's bad and that's pretty obvious.
thankyou common sense approach is good.
He said absolutely nothing.
Awesome video, thanks for the info!!
Hey Doctor, nice to join you. I guess foods don't have much bearing on creatinine, so i am going to eat steak each day. Holy moli. My GFR just went way down. Dammmm. You did not stress this enough for stage 3 to 4 .
Gos is the best doctor and he delivers everytime!!!
Really? Did I miss his diet recommendations?
@@jameslaughter5183 yes you did
Sorry too much build-up all to just suggest his book.
✝️GOD🙏📿
@@fireside007 Amen!!!
I agree with you Doctor 100%
Thanks for being honest about the solutions for kidney problems!!!
thank you so much 🥰
An honest, advisory, tutorial
Thank you, Doctor. We have to keep at what works for us, dietarily. 👍🤔😏🌴
Thanks for the lesson on creatinine Dr Blake. Quick question: Is it okay to drink two glasses of water like after fasting and before going for your blood works?
Yes ! You are very correct !
Great advice ,looks like I'm doing good .I needed this encouragement
I've never had diabetes but had undiagnosed vesicoureteral reflux which led to reflux nephropathy. This was B/C of very neglectful parents who left me with a housekeeper when I was 8 years old while my older siblings flew the coop. My parents divorced and moved far away from each other and me. Despite getting sick a lot no one bothered to take me to a doctor. if I fell ill, Dad would stab me in the butt with a Penicillin injection if he happened to be on one of his fleeting visits from O/S where he was consolidating his dentistry empire, though he also had surgeries in NZ. It wasn't till I started my nursing course that I learned what was wrong with me (I practically diagnosed myself) during which time I was frequently hospitalized (in the same hospital I was training in) that something was done about; I had a left nephrectomy at 21. But the damage had already been done by then.
Most nephrologists don't see my kind of kidney disease often. One day mine asked me 'where were your parents?' I shrugged my shoulders and said I hardly ever saw them when I was growing up. This was after the nephologist told me I'd need dialysis, but a kidney transplant would be better he said. My sister offered me hers, but then my mother started hounding me about not wanting her other children to be less than perfect by one of them giving me one of theirs. I told my nephrologist, and he remarked 'your mother's a narcissist, don't talk to her.' Both my parents are dead now and sadly I've never shed a tear for either of them since then. I will never forgive them for how they treated me putting me through so much pain, suffering and heartache for much of my life. When you're ill, you can get through most things with a loving family around you. I got through it but it's still a work in progress and it's made me mentally unwell at times with suicidal ideation. Yet I've survived legionnaires disease, sepsis and other medical emergencies. I went on to finish my RN training and worked as a nurse for over 30 years, I also managed to train a martial art for many years, getting my 1st dan in Japan. I'm rightly proud of myself.
I can appreciate people searching for an answer to stop your kidney function deteriorating even further; I drank really expensive organic blueberry juice, got specially made alkaline water to drink which turned out to be a pyramid scheme of some sort; people preying on the vulnerable again.
The lesson I've learned in life, is to trust no one except yourself. This has made me very resilient, strong, determined and resourceful. People might find that sad, but I don't. It pleases me no end, so long as I can keep out of hospital and as well as I can.
You have tenacity and true grit!!! You have proven to yourself you are capable and strong! Thank you for sharing your story I found it very inspiring
@@nadineyturraspe1981 Thank you for your kind words. It has been a struggle for sure. What I've learnt in my 64 years is that you can overcome almost anything with unconditional love and support, neither of which I have ever experienced. It's actually kind of weird because the sicker I am the meaner my family gets, particularly my sister. What's also weird is why I deserve this treatment. What's in my nature that brings out the worst in people. Perhaps a philosopher or a psychiatrist will have the answer to that conundrum. Any attempts I make to go to counselling with her gets ignored or ridiculed. She has nothing to say to a therapist, but she's got loads to say to me; like just the other day yelling at me to 'f **k off' then hanging up on me. I texted her back stating that abusing a sick person is uncool, which riled her up even more. She came back with it's amazing that she hasn't screamed at me more often. Oh, but you have I thought. Only my friend in New Zealand, where I'm from, knows of my torment with regards to her. In public she all lovey dove towards me. Talk about gaslighting; she wrote the book. I never see myself as inspiring others. So, thanks for that boost of confidence.
Reading back on what I just wrote you doesn't sound so inspiring to me; it's sounds like I'm whining and full of self-pity, which am a bit. Take care.
So sorry about your childhood. I wish you the very best that life can offer
Your story is truly a pathetic one but thank God who empowered you to stay strong through all that which u went. I understand the pain you've been through but I want to plead you to forgive your parents. Believe and try trusting God for He can restore your health when u call upon. My prayer for u is God Almighty who has kept this far will continue to bless and keep in the Mighty Name of JESUS CHRIST
Very sad
He lost all credibility when he stated "trust your doctor".
The nephrologist that I went to didn't know anything about diet and just gave me a couple of pages of a 1950s kidney diet, and told me not to eat salt. "Trust your doctor." Hah!
@@farshimelt That's when you need to see a dietician .
I saw 3 RD's(haha) I got one sheet of a small list of foods and that's it!
My nephrologist told me 1 kidney was fine and that I could basically eat and drink whatever I wanted to....I now realize that doctor should be fired and have his medical license taken from him.
@@Godsglory777 you should sue him
Truth!!!! Thank you!
Thank you 👍
I disagree, my creatinine and EfGR approved after diet change and more intake. From 50s to 80s. Creatinine went from 1.7 to 1.2. I also was taking a blood pressure water pill, which i stopped by myself. Doctors were made that i healed myself.
I am headed to the Dr. this week bc my tinnitus is now off the charts! There is a connection between COVID and the kidneys. I got hit pretty hard. If my numbers tank I will do whatever I can manage to keep k. function as good as possible. Prayers for you all....alot of Drs. are lacking in knowledge these days.....I will also find a Chinese Dr. to help.
I Have 85 % High Pitch Hearing loss In My left Ear , Do To Loud Noise Exposer . My low Pitch Is Fine In That Ear . Right Ear Is Fine Also , My First Tinnitus Experience Was Because Of 20 mg Rosuvastatin . I Took It For 11 Weeks from Early October To late December 2021 . I Stopped That Poisin , My Primary Dr Said It Wasn't The Statin .I Never Had Any Problems Before Taking That Poison . Yes ,Their Are Many People And Recent Studys About Covid Induced Tinnitus . You Can Find That Information On UA-cam .Also Covid Vaccines And Boosters Are In Question Also ! I Now Wear A Tinnitus Masker From Treble Health , Dr .Ben Thompson And His Great Staff Helped Me Tremendously ! You Would Need To Send Them If You Have An Audiologist Report For Proper Tinnitus Masking Adjustment .
This was helpful. My Cr is 1.57 and gfr 32. But I am not diabetic or have high blood pressure. I have lost my colon and 1 foot of small bowel. I cannot hydrate enough and am redoing my blood tests over and over. No doc has stopped to tell me that it really is the hydration and not stage 3b kidney failure.
Excellent
Thank you.
Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
thank you doctor, really good
Thank u Dr.
I was on stage 3b two years ago and have proteinuria, 3+. I did intermittent fasting, avoided meat protein, went vegetarian and only eat 2x a day but measured. I drink a lot of water, took Astragalus and Cordyseps. After, two months ago, I only have less than 1protein and I am continuing taking my supplements religiously and hoping that my urine and blood test on December will come out normal.
Good for you. Correct me if i'm wrong, but Isn't your 3+ a measurement of albumin on a random dipstick urine test?
Does drinking water reduce creatinine and increase gfr!
That's wonderful. God is on your side. Of course God can do anything.
The doctor's video almost left people with no hope at all
@@emmanuelakojiicha5897 yes. He is a terrible doctor.
@@paulawagstaff686 please pray to your GOD until get GFR below 15. You wanna see a real doctor then.
Dr. Thank you
thank you
Wonderful video!!! Are there any foods, outside of reducing immunosuppressants, that can help you fight the BK Virus ?
Thank you Doctor, very informative.
What was the purpose of this video? As a kidney doctor you didn’t mention at least one good thing about how to keep kidneys healthy. I personally didn’t get any word which can help me in keeping my kidneys healthy . Don’t know about others.
Clickbait that ‘s is all there is. Views and profits. What a wasteful & mins video i got suckered in
Wonderful explanation doctor.. Thank you very much
Great video! I was able to lower my Creatinine levels by cutting out red meat along with a lower intake animal protein. I have been a big weightlifter for decades which I am sure contributed to my higher than normal creatinine levels. I also increased my water daily intake.
Can you still eat higher protein amount just non animal protein or do you have to lose all your muscle? I just found out I have ckd and I’m stopping my trt immediately. Fml
@@jK-je7kv I am on a much lower protein intake these days due to my kidney issues. It definitely sucks.
By following your instructions and being committed and consistent I was able to bring my levels down to 1.24. Thank you very much!
Glad to know that ..mine is 1 .34 is it alarming ?
BP?
Yes
Finally, a doctor who gets low protein! I take pharmaceutical grade amino acids and limit my protein to about 20 grams a day. I use Cronometer to track my food ...protein, sodium, potassium. I've been stable for 13+ years. My kidneys were damaged when I was 9 when I had a twisted ureter...I stay away from legumes dairy, all meats, fish, eggs...I've created my own pattern of eating. I drink a great deal of water because it is easy to get very dehydrated here in the Southwest.
You can eat white of eggs , not yellow one
@@amyrad4145 No...that's protein. On the ranking of foods that are harder for kidneys to process, eggs are there ! Dairy, eggs, meats, fish, nuts, legumes. Chickpeas in small amounts seem to be fairly OK because their amino acid profile is less of an issue than red kidney beans which is close to meat..I could tell the effect on my creatinine ...I really track this closely!
Can you please share your everyday diet? It will be very helpful.
No studies show high levels of protein hurt the kidneys. This is just a myth
@@secretariatgirl4249But having 1 Egg white (Boiled) a day is ok right??
Hello Doctor
I had a stone for a year before it was discovered this month when I finally got pain. I know now it was over a year in the making because I wet the bed twice a year ago but no one thought to check my kidney. Well after getting extreme pain in my right back side I went to the ER and they saw a 7mm stone. They also saw my creatinine levels up to 1.9 an after removing the stone 2 weeks ago my creatinine is now 1.67 and my EGFR level is 49… My questions are, now the surgery is fine and my stent is now removed, can I expect my creatinine’s level to go back down and my EGFR to go back up 🔝 to normal? If so, how long will it take approximately?
Happy because of this vedio cure my kidney thank you so muc Dr
Love your channel! Can you just tell me does my husband need to see a nephrologist or is urologist ok for kidney stones?
Urology handles kidneys stones. I've 40 years experience with the pesky things. Good luck!!
Thats right very leading. No food was discussed
That's because he doesn't believe there is any single food that will improve CKD.
Disappointing but better to hear the truth from someone who really knows. I have vasculitis (GPA) and have kidney damage from it. Was hoping there were foods that would help but sounds like it's more of a long term healthy eating protocol. Thanks for the honest YT review Doc! ✔
I have done kidney transplant in 2012 and I want to make it clear that eating smartly keeping in mind your health and report will definitely help you. so observe your health, understand your health report and prepare your own diet smarty and don't dare to experiment with your body😮😮😮.
Stay healthy and safe.😊😊😊😊
Absolutely agree. I've been on dialysis for 7 years, really taking control of your diet and being strict, having the willpower, will make a huge difference. Diet is half the battle
I think knowing what medications that damage kidneys would be EXTRA important to know. Do you have a video explaining this?
Thanks doctor for your frank advice.
Dr. My Urea is 23.52. I would like to know how bad this is or if I am at any stage of kidney disease.
Urea Normal Range From 15 To 49.
23.52 Is Fine. Nothing to worry
Wow! Thanks for all the positive news!

Hi Doc, what will happen if my creatinine will goes down zero? or 3?
Would you say telismartan is a good supplement to utilise for better kidney function ?
i watched this whole video and i did not find any specific suggestion other than there is no magic pill........but what should i do other than reduce salt and sugar ?
I am a 78 year old male, with CKD , with an e gfr 27 to 31 , and my BUN/creatinine 13.8 and Urea Nitrogen, Blood (BUN) of 31mg. My nephrologist feels as you do about the diet but was wondering if the e gfr method of computing was relevant based on my age. They say 18-70 is the study group. Have you heard of the BSI 1 equation, Berlin Institute study. Thanks
For improving egfr what to take
Newly subscriber...hope i can always nofification...i have insufficient kidney....
Thank about this video!!
I have kidney failure due to a surgery I had to have to correct a tear in my aorta. This led to blood loss in my kidneys, and I have been on dialysis ever since (6 months). What would you recommend? Keto Diet?
Intermittent fasting
A great educative information thanks a lot May Almighty ALLAH SWT bless you always and keep it up.
Ameen
when your on antibiotics like keflax temporarily and get a blood test can that raise your Creatinine levels
Hello dr what can i do woth constapation if my creatiine is high thanks
Hi doc . How about exercise and baking soda ?
He should give some diet plan actually it really helps
He is honest. It's true
I do everything already that you suggest and always have for all of my life. My weight is good. No diabetes. No chronic HBP, although BP was high when I had my kidney failure. My kidney failure and disease was from a very large 7.5 cm cyst which blocked function and crossed (?) blood vessels over ureter. Could you address the issue of loss of kidney function due to a large obstructive cyst that is not polycystic cysts? According to my nephrologist my case is rare. Thank you. I enjoy your show.
I had same thing. My doctor said that because it was an INJURY and NOT a DISEASE that I would never need dialysis unless I had another injury to the kidneys. My numbers are bad, I'm stage five, but find a doctor who will understand the difference between an INJURY and Kidney disease. It's how to avoid dialysis. Most doctors want to put us on dialysis to protect them (my cardiothoracic surgeon from Harvard Med) because low kidney function can cause afib in the heart and cause heart attack in RARE cases (where heart disease is already present) says. My nephrologist said I don't need dialysis until the kidneys fail totally. He said it's like having a quarter tank of gas in your car. You don't need more gas (dialysis) until you're out of gas. You can still function with low kidney numbers.
QUESTION: Is fried cabbage safe to eat for a person who is very close to CKD?
If its fried in olive oil, but not too much, just enough to soften it!!!
I was told Cabbage is great for CKD.
Hi Doc! My kidneys were destroyed by taking IB for years for arthritis. I've been trying to bring my eGFR up the past few years and loosing weight, eating healthier and drinking more water is helping. My question is, does Chetosan help lower the creatinine levels as well? I am 73.
I would focus on addressing the answer rather than what is wrong on the internet, so long video for addressing the problem, after 5 min of 7 min video is the answer. It’s for the best interest for all of us to shorten your videos 1-2min max. This video can do the same job in 1 min
Monetization requires 20 minutes videos.
Well, he sure told us what NOT to do~
The problem is that doctors don't tell you or alert you when your kidneys start to fail. The moment you end up in the hospital, oblivious to what's happening and in pain and suffering from nausea and unable to eat without vomitting your food....that's when they finally tell you.
Right they dont tell you. You have to go through 1,2 and 3 before you get to 4 and 5.
@@alesiagilda yea yea yea....some people don't feel a F symptom till they're a 5.
@@alvega2404 yeah, and they don't tell you.. that if you've got a heart problem, plus the kidney damage.., they will refuse to give you dialysis! Cuz your heart will go kaput while you are doing it. They will also not give you transplant, cuz you may not be strong enough to do it!..
My exact story smh
@@toddduncan8230 kind of like same here. Well just batten down the hatches. Manage potassium, not to overload the heart! Which means watch like fruit and vegetable intake. Maintain the stage you're at by low protein diet. Like no meat. Eat twice a day maybe, like small meals. A book said like no more than 20, like veggie proteins a day. Meaning, like 10 proteins or so per meal. If you research a little you can do it. Fill out the water intake, Visa v the output! So you don't lose weight.. supplement with a brand of essential amino acids!! Doctors got medical grade o n e s. But they can be expensive. But I know a company,.. calwood nutritionals in sykesville, that gives a good batch to use for a month! For only like $100! And it's healthy and pure. You won't be much hungry anyway. Take supplements like CoQ10, resveratrol, astragalus. Watch the amount of urine output stabilize daily. Make sure not much bubbles.. especially when waking up. Read a kidney book from Dr Mackenzie walser, from Barnes & Noble! How to avoid dialysis. He was a professor John Hopkins h o s p.
Theres no reversing damage, only slowing and protecting whats left. Increased plant based foods, cutting out ALL dairy products and red meats (besides a burger after dialsysis) is what helped me and improved my weekly labs at dialysis
Good Morning, Is mitformin not good for kidney? I am using it for diabetes
No chemical or drug is good for your kidneys.
Hey doctor, then what are you suggesting? What should I do?
Where is your office in the you in the states iam interesyed to.come in see you because i believe while listoening this mornimgl was amazimg i have a doctor he does npt tell me anything my ggr went down to 13 then je tellme to do dialysis but before that i got no imformation whatsoever
I am a 38-year-old man, 5 years and 7 months ago, one of my kidneys removed due to pain. Now, when I go to the doctor for examination, I was told that the creatinine is 1.41. What should I do? Thank you.
✝️🙏🙏🙏
Excellent numbers because you only have one (1.8)
Great and honest information😇😇 thanks so much doctor🙏🙏
An adult egfr is between 60 and 120 typically. There are 5 stages of ckd. Besides the foods, certain meds, and a host of other things, certain meds can lower egfr and even alter the stage...etc. There's a lot of math with it when a pt. Has ckd or is at a point of needing emergency dialysis. *Point being, doctors tend to treat patients with the symptoms not the causes* Informative video. Thank you! 👍
I live by myself and it's hard to cook. I see these mediterranean diet programs out there. Some of them ship the raw foods to you, and you cook, some are frozen meals. Would these programs be good for kidney function?
Creatinine gfr vs Cystatin C gfr for carnivore diet?
What is a good number for the body, thanks
soaking Barley (Hordeum vulgare) in water at night, and drinking the water first thing next day morning will help lower Creatinine level
Summary:
No one single food. It is a pattern of eating that involves AVOIDING/LIMITING certain foods, and eating others.
Broadly...
1. Avoid large portions of meat; eapecially red meat.
2. Decrease Sodium intake (salt).
3. Decrease Sugar.
4. Include Veggies and berries.
5. Drink enough Water.
Hi Doctor. I am new to your channel.
I understand there is no one food we should have but how about food se need to avoid (other than fast/junk foods, sugars, processed foods and sugary drinks.)?
