Another Side Of The High Protein Diet

Another Side Of The High Protein Diet
A:

A high protein diet is one of the popular weight management diets. The principle is to replace carbohydrates with protein to improve weight and body shape. However, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to food and diet.

 

A higher portion of protein in meals will not harm a healthy individual, but it adds burdens to those with lower kidney health. People with abnormal kidney function often need to restrict protein intake to ensure no excess metabolic wastes will build up in the bloodstream. Extra protein can aggravate their conditions.

 

It may not concern those who already acknowledged their kidney problems. However, a study shows that some people didn’t know they had mild kidney function loss when attempting the protein-rich diet. They are not aware of how this diet will deteriorate their kidney health. It is suggested that early-stage kidney problems should always be eliminated before changing diets.

 

Trendy diets may be worth trying, but make sure they won’t compromise kidney health.

A:
DTS is scientifically proven to be beneficial to kidney function and has a positive effect on supporting the eGFR level. It is suitable for people to use as kidney support. Some may wonder, how about individuals without any kidney issues? Is DTS good for them too?   Absolutely yes! As “prevention is better than cure” is one of the basic modern healthcare strategies, the best time to take DTS is right before any kidney and liver problems show up. The herbal
A:
Using creatinine as an indication of kidney function level is common, but just this number alone is not the optimal way to monitor kidney health nor to detect early kidney problems. According to professional recommendations, using an eGFR level is a more accurate indication of kidney health.   Creatinine is a by-product generated from protein metabolism. Therefore, muscle mass and diet can affect creatinine generation. For example, a muscular person or a person who cr
A:
If the urine shows pink, red, or even brownish-red color instead of pale yellow, the first thing is to recall is the discolored urine caused by red pigments from medications or food like beetroots and red dragon fruit. If not, maybe it’s time to think about the possibility of blood present in the urine.   Blood in the urine is just a symptom, and sometimes it is not possible to see blood in the urine with naked eyes. A lab test is required to check for red blood
