kidney health

• Your kidneys lower your body acid burden. As kidney failure progresses, acid tends to accumulate in your system, causing severe harm
• A high-acid diet can deteriorate your kidney function and accelerate the progression of kidney disease
• Any diet high in fruits and vegetables and low or devoid of processed foods and dairy products will be lower in acid
• Anything that helps improve diabetes will also improve kidney health. This includes fasting or time-restricted eating and exercise
• High-protein diets can also damage your kidneys, thanks to the ammonia generated. To protect your renal health when eating a high-protein diet, add in more fruits and vegetables to buffer the acid created

Thanks for that, Dad went thru kidney dialysis for a while as he had diabetes and multiple myeloma. He "gifted" me the diabetes and I can see following the same road unfortunately.

sorry to hear that. my wife's Dad had diabetes and did dialsys. went for it one day and passed in the car. she exercises like a fiend and eats a whole lot better than I do. Her thought is if it happens, it may be late enough in life to not have that big of an effect. guess it runs in the family.

Wow, sorry to read. The father in law went to one treatment and passed away?
It takes more work as the years pass to stay in good health.
