FOODS TO EAT FOR HEALTHY KIDNEY

     In today's post, we shall be discussing about the types of food to consume to have an healthy kidney. A lot of people consume foods that's aren't compatible with their kidney causing them to develop kidney stones.  Food high in protein, salt and sugar increases risk of developing kidney stones. Dehydration, digestive disease and obesity causes kidney stones. Now, lets discuss about the types of food you can take to prevent such from developing.  The kidneys maintain the body's water volume, regulate your blood pressure, remove waste products from the 200 quarts of blood they filter everyday, and release essential hormones, but all that many people know about them is that these first-size organs are shaped liked their namesake, the kidney bean. The kidneys are so efficient that even people born with just one kidney can lead healthy lives. However, the kidneys are not indestructible. The two most common causes of kidney disease are diabetes and high blood pressure.

 Because as many as 20 per cent to 30 per cent of all people with diabetes develop kidney disease (also called renal disease or nephropathy), it is important to know what you can do to keep your kidneys as healthy as possible. The causes of kidney disease in people with diabetes are not all that well understood, but it is known that genetics, blood pressure level and level of blood glucose control all play a role.
       Although later stages of kidney disease are not reversible, intake damage can be slowed and some people manage to stay in the early stages indefinitely. Certain lifestyle changes, if begun early in the course of the disease, have been shown to delay the onset of advanced kidney disease.
       Healthy kidneys do an amazing work: it is estimated that the kidneys filter approximately half a cup of fluid each minutes, or about 750 cups each day, with almost all of this reabsorbed into the body and a small amount excreted as urine.
     Many nutrients, including glucose, are initially filtered by the kidneys but then reabsorbed later. When blood glucose levels are normal, most of the glucose that is filtered by the kidneys is absorbed, but when blood glucose levels are high, say, over 180 mg/dl to 200 mg/dl, the kidneys are not able to reabsorb it all, and some of it ends up in the urine.
     Factors associated with increased risk of kidney disease and more severe kidney disease include high blood pressure; high blood glucose level; smoking; high cholesterol levels; and high dietary protein intakes.

Foods that are high in sodium include table salt, processed such as canned soups and vegetables (although low-sodium versions are available at most grocery stores), processed cheese, lunch meat, snack foods some fast foods,
Pickled foods,and smoked  or cured foods.
