DISCOVER THE HEALING POWER OF LOW GLYCEMIC INDEX AND ANTI INFLAMMATORY FOODS TO BOOST KIDNEY HEALTH
I grew up with Betty Rowlands, a close friend who shared many commonalities with me. Some days after her 13th birthday, Betty lost her dad in a plane crash. Betty's mother, Mrs. Kate Rowlands, who was also diabetic, went into depression, and the shock was enough to cause her high blood pressure. Despite her diabetes and hypertension, Mrs. Kate Rowlands went into a smoking, drinking, and drug lifestyle as a result of her traumatic loss.
Mrs. Rowlands health deteriorated as she was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease as a result of poorly managed diabetes, hypertension, and lifestyle.
Mrs. Rowlands was subjected to dieting by her doctor and was assigned to work closely with a dietician and dieting guide. The dieting guide was fashioned to help her with meals and food choices, modeled to meet her body's nutrition needs to rejuvenate her kidneys and avoid dialysis.
This guide was way ahead of a typical food list guide when it came to its contents and was all Mrs. Rowlands needed for her remarkable transformation. Her blood sugar levels moderated, her blood pressure stabilized, her waistline was reduced, her skin and body metabolism improved, and her weak kidneys were rejuvenated. This transformation was not far from a miracle, and her diet guide became a symbol of reference.
Today, the author of this groundbreaking book, Dr. Agisa Begay, now a seasoned dietician, has taken up the task of improving on the same book that helped her friend's mom, Mrs. Rowlands, some years ago.
In this book, Dr. Agisa Begay will help CKD-diagnosed patients on stages 2, 3, and 4 with the following:
- Understanding kidney functions, signs, symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and treatments
- Evaluate the impact of diabetes and high blood pressure on the kidneys.
- Understand, follow, and eat in accordance with the low-glycemic index diet principles.
- Explore food choices with a list of kidney-friendly foods focused on low-potassium, low-sodium, and low-phosphorus contents to help rejuvenate your kidneys.
- Understand and avoid processed and inflammatory foods.
- Explore varieties of renal-friendly recipes (soups and stews, mains, side dishes, snacks and appetizers, salads, etc.).
