I am 81.5 years old Male. I am eating lamb, chicken 9 times per week I.e., 7 days plus Friday and Sundays at lunch. Recently I under went regular Medical checkups with Nephrologist and Dr. on seeing my Xray he said my kidneys are perfectly well. Upto 50 or 70 years of age I was drinking 3 litres of water. From 70 onwards I have restricted to 1.2 to 1.6 liters. I get up one time at midnight to pass urine. I take a morning walk 6 days in a week for one hour covering 4 kms. I am not diabetic.

Don't use if possible. 6 Excessive caffeine is not good limit it to one or two cups 7 low protein. Preferable non animal as it's hard on kidneys. Non soy as it can raise blood pressure. 8 excessive alcohol not good. Only drink the recommend amount 9 stop smoking 10 manage weight 11 Manage diabetes. Keep a1c under 7 12 manage blood pressure.

This is really great advice and your story is INSPIRING. I just want to add the ONE THING that a lot of people tend to overlook and that could make all the difference. CKD is a silent disease. I see a lot of patients waiting YEARS before getting checked for kidney function because they don't see any symptoms. The problem is that CKD doesn't have symptoms until it is TOO LATE... so if you have any risk factor, don't wait! get checked people

My poor sister and everyone on it. I felt so bad for them. Only 32 oz of clear liquids a day. No beans not even green beans. And so much other stuff she couldn't eat. We met another guy there that drank Dr Pepper only and the nurse said they got a few every 6 or 8 months. I was off that quick. After you get off sodas and taste one later it taste like syrup. Also something in Diet drinks made me feel like something was in my throat all the time I kept coughing after drinking them.

They indicated that my kidneys were healing much faster and functioning much better then she had anticipated !

I don't get why these doctors lie like there's no hope like we all are going to just accept it and not do our research. I wasn't told that there was no hope but I also wasn't informed about how nutrition plays a part in kidney function. I did just like you and researched the crap out of what helps kidney function and improved them on my own. Now I'm dealing with a low white blood cell count. I asked the doctor is there anything I can take to improve this and she looked dead in my face and said unfortunately no and added I wish there was. From experience I knew not to accept the first thing they say so I went right away and did se research and found about 50 foods and supplements that improve or raise wbc. Point is you gotta take care of your own self in addition to going to doctor. I really just use doctors as check ups ro get my levels read then go home and fix myself. I take their advice but add my own stuff to it. Thanks for this video. I actually didn't learn anything new but I appreciate that you are informing others.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your videos. After having CKD for several years, and hearing basically only terrifying stories about not being able to do anything about it, and that it can only get worse, you have given so many people something they have been robbed of by most of the medical community...…..hope!

[@DADVICETV]

So glad to hear that! When I was diagnosed my Nephrologist told me I had "Zero" chance of getting better, dialysis was my only option. It felt great to prove her wrong, and to do it so quickly was even better. As long as you can manage the underlying cause of your CKD to prevent further damage, diet and lifestyle changes can greatly slow down, halt, or even reverse the loss of kidney function. Thanks again and good luck!!!

[@LaurieSalden]

This man actually gave me hope that you can improve your kidney function. All I was hearing was that it wasn't possible!

[@DADVICETV]

I love visiting my original Nephrologist and reminding her I'm still alive - she said I'd be dead in 45 days without dialysis...1 year ago tomorrow. While diet and lifestyle changes are not the sole answer, for many people it allows them to delay or completely avoid the need for dialysis. And anything easy that can do that is worth trying! Feel free to reach out if your have any questions - our CKD community is full of lots of helpful people. Make sure you download my food list from www.dadvicetv.com/food - it is a great starting place for you and your doctor or dietitian. Good luck - YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Love this advice but you missed a HUGE factor--SUGAR! and mindlessly eating junk food! Donuts, chips, cupcakes--"comfort foods". Im eliminating "added sugar" foods PLUS all junk foods with one cheat per week. One donut, one cookie. I've lost 8 lbs in about 8 weeks and am so proud of myself! I'm looking to lost 15 more lbs which will also bring my BMI below 30. I have had Stage 3 kidney disease for at least 5 years--but not one doc that I saw told me that in plain English! I found out BY ACCIDENT about 2 months ago at a return visit (from LAST JUNE!!!) to the PA I had seen. She mentioned it VASUALLY as she was reading off of her iPad, from HER notes, but that info wasn't in the chart info that I could view. WTH???!! So when I got home that day, I googled it and began to understand what I was faced with. Not grim, but not good either. Longer story short, I made my own appt with a nephrologist and went right over the PAs head. She never even recommended that I see one yet. Just sent me home with a paper that said stay away from nsaids (been off them for 5 years now, but the damage is done) and try the Mediterranean diet. That was it! The nephrologist was very informative and I'm so glad we had a consultation. Don't wait for a doc to refer you--insist on it as soon as possible to educate yourself, ease your mind, and give you a launching point from which to dive into better kidney health. I work alone, so I can listen to an assortment of videos like this. Sometimes info can be contradictory but I find that eventually I figure out what makes the most sense and use that. Good luck all!

Thank you Rick. GFR 59 is stage 3, so work on your diet and lifestyle changes to stay at Stage 2 (or even move up to Stage 1). If you have Diabetes or high blood pressure, work with your doctor to manage those and stop any further kidney damage. Diet can make a world of difference - I've now gone from Stage 5 to Stage 3 in just 5 months with diet and lifestyle changes.

Since then I have improved my delivery, greatly reduced my rambling (I'm a talker), and learned a lot about nutrition and living a great life with kidney disease.

It's the way Drs are now trained. Not to heal but to manage with medication. & they don't talk to patients anymore. You HAVE TO ask as many questions as you can. And be proactive, research everything. Your illness, your meds, your healthcare, the laws pertaining to healthcare! Research it all.

Thanks for some valluable information. Whenever I think about my kidneys, or hear someone else talking about their kidney problems, I get a queasy, slightly nauseaous feeling - not pleasant; but I need to deal with this. My risk factors: Obesity Too much caffeine Not enough water Not enough sleep Too much salt Sometimes holding it too long (like when I'm driving). Occasional use of NSAID drugs (but not too often). On the plus side: Non-smoker, non-drinker, eat mostly plant-based protein. I'm going to take your advice; much appreciated.

[@vickvickson4273]

This is a VERY VERY GOOD guidance about the whole problem, not only with kidneys but with health in general! In short and logically, it all comes to two basic things: More movement and physical efforts during the day PLUS the proper nutrition and eating habits (-harder and harder to obtain in polluted modern profit centered world we're living in). So, those living in the country, of their own manual work in making their own food - are blessed and privileged and this will only increase in the future!

A water distiller is very helpful if you have a home water softener. Water softeners can increase sodium or potassium due to how they work - a water distiller is a great option for drinking water that removes those.
