What is CKD and what are the things you should eat or avoid during CKD

Chronic kidney disease is a health condition in which your #kidney becomes unhealthy as they lose their functionality over a period. The result can be devastating for the patients as it may also lead to end-stage #renal_failure of not treated on time. If your kidney fails you may need dialysis and transplant to sustain your life. This can also be reversed with the help of ayurvedic treatment for kidney failure.

• ·         Polycystic kidney disease or nephrotic syndrome      

       Signs you should not ignore

       Having CKD makes you prone to:

• ·         Itchy and dry skin
• ·         Muscle cramps at night
• ·         Too much or too less urine
• ·         Poor appetite

What you should eat or avoid during CKD

Reduction of the severity of #CKD comes with taking charge of what you should eat or avoid during the problem. Here is a nutritional guide that is a part of ayurvedic treatment for chronic kidney disease, for you:

·         Phosphorus: Phosphorus is essential for the optimum health of your bone. It is present in almost every food you consume. While an apt amount of phosphorus is good for you, an excess can be equally harmful to your #health.

       Protein: To a #kidney_patient doctors always suggest a diet that is low in protein because it can adversely burden your kidney. But the reverse is the case when you are on #dialysis as at that time you will need more protein.

      Potassium: A kidney-friendly is one that is low in potassium and rich in fiber. Consult your ayurvedic specialist as he will suggest the right amount of nutrients you need based on your disease conditions and other health factors.

      Sodium: Excess sodium can increase your #blood_pressure and may harm your kidney’s health. Sodium also makes you feel thirsty and increases the need to consume more water which is not considered good for #kidney patients.

Having a #kidney-friendly diet is as important as your #ayurvedic_treatment_for_chronic_kidney disease. The best ayurvedic specialist at #Karma_Ayurveda suggests you certain modification in your lifestyle and dietary habits so that situation does not become adverse.
