New Nordic Diet May Work For Kidney Health

New Nordic Diet May Work For Kidney Health
A:

New Nordic Diet is a way of eating developed from the traditional cuisine in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Iceland. It integrates the local food culture and emphasizes the concept of health and sustainability. In addition to making good use of local and seasonal ingredients, the New Nordic Diet also advocates reducing food waste and caring about sustainable production.

 

The New Nordic Diet shares similar features with the DASH Diet and the Mediterranean Diet. The main difference is the choice of oil. A research team removed high-phosphorus food, such as rye bread, dairy products, and nuts, and reduced animal-based protein from the New Nordic Diet. They found that this way of eating might reduce the renal excretion f phosphate, acids, and uremic toxins in people suffering from moderate chronic kidney problems (stage 3-4).

 

18 participants with eGFR ranging from 16-45 accepted 7 days of the traditional Danish diet and 7 days of the New Nordic renal diet. Results showed that the Nordic Diet gave a short-term improvement in the parameters of phosphate homeostasis. The average phosphorus level was 875 mg/d at baseline, while the level decreased by 400 and 87 mg/d, respectively, for the period of the New Nordic Diet and the traditional Danish diet. In a post hoc analysis, the team further discovered this renal diet reduced uremic toxins. By 7 days, the 24-hour urine net acid excretion had greatly reduced by 80%. There are also significant improvements in other parameters.

 

Based on the results, the team says, further investigations should be done on the long-term effects of the New Nordic renal diet on people with chronic kidney problems.

"Can doctors know how well my kidney is functioning by simply looking at my creatinine level in blood?" That's properly a common question to ask. In short, the answer is no. Today, we will go through what creatinine is and how it is linked with kidney function.   Creatinine is a waste product produced when creatine, a molecule that provides energy to the muscles, is broken down. Creatinine is then eliminated from the body through the kidneys. When the ki

Swelling is one of the common signs for people living with kidney problems. It often indicates the kidneys do not remove excess fluid. Swelling can happen in ankles, feet, or any body part. It is rather uncomfortable because it can affect walking or cause shortness of breath.   There is an easy test to get an idea if one has swelled. Press on a bony area on the lower legs for around 5 seconds. Observe any pit formed, and if there is a dimple, note the depth of the pit

How long does it take to see results? Should I stop taking it after a while? Are there any side effects? These are some of the most common questions we get, and let’s find out the answer together.   How long does it take to see results? Results often vary among different users, as no two individuals have the same condition, diet, and lifestyles, which could all play parts in the effects of DTS.

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 study conducted in 2016 has shown that extracts from different parts of Eucommia, such as bark, stem, and seeds, contain health-promoting properties. Here are some examples:   1. Eucommia bark extract demonstrates an antihypertensive effect, confirmed by many human and animal models. 2. Under vivo and vitro studies, Eucommia has established strong antioxidant properties. 3. Eucommia leaf extract shows properties that promote the
