The TOP Best Foods to Improve Kidney Function (END STAGE KIDNEY DISEASE)

[@ActionPills]

💊 1: Kidney disease requires a different diet than preventing kidney problems. 💊 2: Different stages of kidney disease demand specific dietary considerations. 💊 3: Reduce protein intake, aiming for about 45 grams per day in later stages. 💊 4: High-quality protein sources like eggs, fish, and grass-fed beef are preferred. 💊 5: Limit sodium intake to around 2,300 milligrams per day. 💊 6: Foods high in potassium, such as beet greens, spinach, and avocados, should be avoided. 💊 7: Choose low-potassium vegetables like cabbage, cauliflower, radishes, etc. 💊 8: Watch phosphorus intake by avoiding phosphoric acid in sodas and reducing meat consumption. 💊 9: Focus on low-phosphorus foods like berries, poultry, certain seafood, and eggs. 💊 10: Balance potassium intake and always monitor key nutrients with your doctor. 💊 11: Disagree with recommendations to include grains in an end-stage kidney disease diet. 💊 12: Supplement with B vitamins, natural vitamin C, vitamin D3, and omega-3 fatty acids.

[@annan8961]

45 grams per day for someone 185 lbs like Dr. Berg

[@anitam.924]

Probably about 30 grams a day for a 150 lb woman??? That's how much I allow myself. Check with your own Dr. to be sure though what's right for you. I do notice I get more hungry with less protein tho.

​@@raniseema2003what medication your father is having?

[@jeanneshammah]

Husband has had 4 acute kidney crisis due to undiagnosed autoimmune disease. Each crisis catapulted kidneys to the next state. This past month it was clearly stage 4. The nephrologist, a very good dr, sent us home with diagnosis, but no education on what to do next. "Lower bp. Lower salt. Don't overdue protein." Feeling so sad and overwhelmed. Reversed trajectory by adjusting thyroid medication and totally removing phosphate additives from diet. This video is the first I could find anywhere which actually explains how to calculate protein to reduce the overload on the kidneys. This information is the first practical information making an adjustment for AKD. Thank you.

Plant protein is the best for the kidney. I’m doing this now. Im on dialysis. I’m seeing great benefits. Eat potassium, phosphate & sodium in moderation. Eat more fruits melons & berries. Make a food diary. I stay within 40 grams of protein a day but I’m small so adjust according to your weight like he said. 20-30 ounces of water or fruit juice until urine output increases then increase drinking accordingly. Eat more raw. Make sure you pooping a lot. Eat lots of fiber. Sweat as much as you can. Free game! Happy healing.

Did this help kidney disease for you?

[@PREZIDENTIALalt]

Started this no sugar diet four days ago and it was extremely easy for me to switch over. It started when I noticed bumps on my scalp not acne but bigger ones and a YT short doc said maybe dirty hair and hat or skin cancer and that’s my one and only majorist fear in life I’m pretty brave. But from that I did more research which led me to your videos and i subscribed and am taking instruction without hiccup. Still don’t know if it’s cancer I should see a doc but damn no sugar at all should cure everything it seems like. 😂

[@helenevion5948]

Yes. No sugar surely helps hugely. But also no bad carbs, such as grains, rice, potatoes, etc. Some of Dr Berg’s videos /articles on scalp, on cancer, on skin, etc. may help.

​@@DrbergWould we avoid Book Choy at this stage as well since it's high in potassium?

[@fidelcatsro6948]

Sharing Dr Berg notes! The top causes of kidney problems are diabetes, insulin resistance, and high-sugar, high-carb diets. Consuming a low-carb diet, like the Healthy Keto® diet, and doing intermittent fasting are two of the best things you can do to help prevent kidney disease. But, if you have stage 3A through stage 5 kidney disease, you may want to consider making some adjustments to your keto plan. If you have a kidney problem, it’s important to work with your doctor to make sure certain nutrients aren’t out of range. These nutrients include potassium, sodium, and phosphorus. Protein levels can also become too high if someone has a kidney problem. The best diet tips for kidney disease: • Consume lower amounts of high-quality protein (pasture-raised organic eggs, wild-caught fish, seafood, and grass-fed, grass-finished beef) • Consume lower amounts of sodium (2,300 mg of sodium per day) • Avoid processed foods and junk foods • Avoid high-potassium foods and consume low-potassium foods • Avoid soda • Avoid foods high in phosphorus • Take the natural form of certain vitamins (B vitamins, vitamin C, and vitamin D3) • Get plenty of omega-3 fatty acids (take cod liver oil) Thank you Dr Berg!! 😺👍

[@SlicedZucchini]

while I agree with most of the things he says, couple of things I don't agree with and a couple of things he missed, that a lot of doctors and other people miss this as well: apart from the usual culprits of causing kidney disease, medications can also cause it, it was ibuprofen that did me in because I took such high dosages of it as instructed, so be aware of some things like ibuprofen/Motrin/etc. that will damage them; as for the foods, he basically covered everything I ate on my restricted diabetic renal diet, except I would not eat bell peppers, you could probably eat a little bit but not try to overdo it on the vitamin C, and I don't have issues with vitamin C because I was actually taking the supplement every other day - as for vitamin D3 I have no issue with as well since I was taking it every other day, as for vitamin D, my levels were higher but the K2 kept the calcium in check, they would make you take a weekly dosing of D2 as a prescription if your vitamin D levels are too low; as for seafood I had to stay away from it generally, can't really eat any of it especially that tuna, and other stuff like salmon, you can eat it but you'd be eating no more than like 2 or 3 ounces, maybe 4 if you ate only one meal a day, and for the sodas, specifically dark sodas, the other kinds have less phosphorus but they do have large amounts of sugar, and as we know it most kidney patients without kidneys typically have a history of diabetes and sugar problems as well as reduced proteins, so anemia is common ... a lot of protein as an ESRD, my hemoglobin was fairly high ...... in summary, depending on your levels, I always took vitamin C, vitamin D3/K2, magnesium, zinc from our lovely Dr. - my schedule was with my foods right after my dialysis unless you are third shift or overnight, then I don't advise eating right after that ... one last note, 100% wholeheartedly agree, carbohydrates were not necessary on this diet, not even vegetables, I did fine for 59 months and now I have a transplant for 4 - I tried to eat cabbage for a while but got bored of it, the only purpose for vegetables really would be for fiber, also he didn't mention to not eat potatoes, if you're going to eat these things you're gonna have to boil it 2+ times over to try to extract as much potassium as you can

It gets easier after the first week. Keep going it will pay off in the long run. What are you eating?

[@helenevion5948]

Yes. Some of Dr Berg’s videos /articles on addiction, on moods, stress, ect. may help.

What about if we are already on dialysis?

[@mohammedh-ty4jl]

Hi Dr. I enjoy every video you post. This is about my mother 65 who is suffering with renal failure. Her current egfr is 10 and she has been taking diabetes medicine for over 25 years. Can you suggest me what type of food she should avoid and take. She is not on a dialysis but the doctor wants her to avoid salt. She has become very weak now , what should I do?

Dr. Berg I pray that you can give me some advice. My legs swelling is very painful. My EGFR (MDRD) value is 56. Its written in red on my bloodwork. My doctor's reply was that my bloodwork was stable... Is my EGFR (MDRD) value 56 my kidneys or is it my liver? And would that be causing my legs to swell? Is there a way to increase my EGFR value? Thank you for any advice you could give me.

[@jennykartika9557]

eGFR is for kidney. Legs swelling should be water retention. Means too much sodium (salt). Not sure about other things, but definitely need to remove sugar/refined carb, processed food/meat/oil, soft drinks.

In 2022 i started experiencing severe body inflammation, reacting to foods, pains at kidney area but labs and scans couldn't find the cause, after research i started adopting low carb, Protein diet which seems to improvemy symptoms... Current labs show WBC, HAEMOGLOBIN are constantly low, low magnessiym, Hba1C 5.4%, Bp 99/50 and EGFR constantly dropiping from >100 now 86. 2024 But still Doctors can't figure out what's wrong with me... Sleep issues, Weight and muscle loss, reacting to food etc Any suggestions? Could it be CKD?

[@gdee8365]

My dad and I stopped drinking black tea and our kidney pain stopped. Coffee was fine but when we off and on had tea the pain was according to the tea consumption. Try that for a couple days and see how it goes.
