Smoothies for Kidney Health: A Delicious Approach to the Prevention and Management of Kidney Problems and So Much More

A lit if good info

This wonderful book is written by a woman and her daughter who share their personal stories with chronic kidney disease, (CKD). When the mother was diagnosed with CKD, both the mother and daughter followed a protective kidney and heart healthy diet to improve their overall health, even though it was the mother's kidney function which was failing. The mother's nephrologist had predicted that the mother would need a transplant or dialysis within three years, but with their special diet, it was six years before the mother's kidney function failed. Her daughter offered her mother one of her kidneys which matched. After the operation, they both needed to continue to eat a kidney friendly diet to protect their kidneys for the rest of their lives. Having eaten a diet to preserve kidney function for years, they decided to write this book to help other people struggling with chronic kidney disease. The information given on kidney function and the foods to avoid and those safe to eat is very thorough and easy to understand. All of the advice, given by a woman and her daughter, who have really lived with renal failure, is information and a diet I can trust. The smoothies are very tasty and easy to make. I did have to purchase different ingredients that were not in my usual pantry items, in order to make the smoothies. I did find all of the ingredients I didn't have on Amazon, or the grocery store, so it made the diet easy to begin. I have been on the diet for two weeks now, and I am enjoying it. If I can protect my kidneys, so I never have to experience dialysis, or a transplant, eating differently is well worth it. I did purchase other kidney diet books on Amazon, but none were as complete as this book. Most lacked the nutrient values for each recipe, and some of the ingredients for their recipes were ingredients not recommended by my nephrologist. The information in this book has provided me with a diet that will help to protect my kidney function and overall health, and a diet that I can manage easily by myself. This book is a valuable tool for people experiencing CKD, or for those who want to prevent all of the diseases, like diabetes, which can lead to CKD in the future if you become diabetic. I believe that you will find the book very helpful for improving your kidney function and your overall health.
