Is eating healthy enough to be healthy?

 Mr. Chen, who is in his fifties and 50s, was diagnosed with kidney failure two years ago, and often experiences severe fatigue and a lack of energy in his life.

For a long time, the adjustment to diet in life has been a big challenge. I often think that eating healthy is enough, but I did not expect that my physical strength is getting weaker and weaker. After consulting a nutritionist, I learned that eating healthy does not mean that I have taken in enough nutrients. Physical weakness may be caused by insufficient intake of common energy nutrients and micronutrients.

It is difficult for patients with renal failure to manage their diet. For kidney patients, in addition to correct eating habits, they must understand what renal failure is, what are the symptoms of renal failure, and choose the precise nutrients required for hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis according to their physical conditions. Delay the continuous deterioration of renal failure, maintain vitality, reduce the burden on the kidneys, and peacefully coexist with kidney disease!

The kidneys play a pivotal role in the human organism, and kidney disease usually affects both kidneys at the same time. Kidney functions include the elimination of metabolic waste, maintenance of body water, mediation of electrolytes, blood pressure balance, and production of erythropoietin.

Renal failure occurs when the kidneys are damaged and gradually lose function or completely lose function, resulting in the accumulation of waste and water in the body. There are two types of renal failure: acute renal failure and chronic renal failure.

Generally, acute renal failure occurs when there is a "sudden" decrease in kidney function due to shock or a serious infection. Chronic renal failure occurs when kidney function declines chronically over a period of time.

Symptoms of renal failure are not obvious at the beginning, but may include hematuria, proteinuria, frequent urination, oliguria, and edema of the lower extremities. If renal failure persists and becomes severe enough to cause uremia, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, itchy skin, edema, and difficulty breathing may occur.

According to the dietitian's past experience, patients who are not psychologically prepared or do not understand the treatment methods are prone to negative thoughts due to the psychological impact, and even try alternative dialysis treatments on their own, which often do not alleviate the symptoms of kidney failure but lead to other complications.

Dialysis is one of the most common treatments to delay kidney failure, such as hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and dietary modification. When entering the dialysis stage, it is necessary to discuss with the medical staff according to the kidney patient's condition in choosing the treatment method of hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis to carry out the appropriate treatment method for the individual.

It also pointed out that if kidney patients can cooperate with the prescribed treatment and diet control at the early stage of hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis treatment, they will have a chance to slow down the rate of kidney failure.

How can I eat to slow down my kidney disease progression?

For people with kidney failure, a low-protein diet and blood sugar control are the key to dietary adjustment. It is explained that many kidney failure patients will often feel tired, or lack energy, and even feel tired when eating, probably because of too little protein intake, resulting in lower and lower muscle mass and insufficient physical strength.

In addition to adequate protein intake, calories and micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals, which are often neglected by kidney patients, are also crucial. 

Although the damage to kidney function is irreversible, with careful care, kidney failure can be prevented from deteriorating. It is also explained that the dietary guidelines for chronic renal failure include adequate caloric intake, appropriate protein, low glycemic value, appropriate intake of phosphorus, sodium and potassium ions, and adequate hydration to balance body fluids.

In addition, in terms of micronutrient intake, if you do not take enough iron, it will often lead to renal anemia and make kidney patients feel very weak; and commercially available processed meat often adds phosphate to prolong the shelf life. All these factors may lead to imbalance in the diet of CKD if one is not careful, so it is very important to master the dietary guidelines for CKD.

The most accurate results and help you pick the most appropriate specialty

In the face of the fast-paced lifestyle of modern people, getting enough nutrition in a short period of time is a major challenge. The most readily available rootstalk foods such as groundnuts and protein drinks such as soy milk are both high in phosphorus and potassium ions. For kidney patients, choosing a diet for chronic kidney disease is not only very difficult but also very labor-intensive.

Wecistanche suggests that if you do not know how to choose a diet and are worried about eating indiscriminately to increase the burden on your kidneys, you can discuss with a dietitian to choose a kidney disease supplement that is suitable for you, with appropriate amounts of protein, low phosphorus, sodium, potassium, low GI, low electrolytes, and precise nutrients rich in  Glycoside as supplements, such as cistanche(Buy Cistanche Extract In A Google Shop), which can assist in dietary adjustments and make diet preparation less tiring.
