Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do Louis XIV, Martin Luther King, Sir Isaac Newton, Caesar Augustus, Benjamin Franklin, and Oliver Cromwell have in common? Kidney stones. These famous people all suffered from kidney stones. 1 in every 10 individuals is estimated to have kidney stones once in their life. In the United States alone, the frequency of kidney stones rose from 3.8% in the 1970s to 8.8% in the 2000s. And in 2014, the frequency further increased to 10%. But kidney stone problems are not entirely a new problem. Kidney stone removal is one of the earliest medical procedures recorded in history. In ancient India, around 600 BC, a physician named Sushruta described the process of bladder stone extraction through the perineum. It was around the 3rd century that the process of breaking down the stones into smaller pieces was first introduced. History proves that the battle against kidney stones is as old as history itself. Most medical practitioners agree that kidney problems are a silent pandemic. As many as 37 million adults in America suffer from kidney problems. What's worse is that they don't even know it until their kidneys start to fail. And when the kidneys fail, the body's normal function is also affected. One of the main culprits behind kidney problems is the formation of kidney stones. Chronic kidney stone formation may end as a bigger kidney problem if left untreated. And if you already have one, you’ll have more chances of developing another. In the Low Oxalate Diet, you’ll discover: ● The right way to eat without getting worked up on kidney problems. ● How you can maintain a diet while eating the foods that you love. ● The importance of knowing what exactly your food is made up of. ● Why you need to be cautious of eating anything marketed as healthy food. ● How you can increase longevity via kidney health

Download or read book Kidney Stone Diet Cookbook written by Patrick Hamilton and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-04 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kidney stones are serious and very painful. If you have never experienced kidney stones than you saved yourself the discomfort. These meal and juice recipes are not only mouthwatering but are also packed with essential nutrients that our body needs to help prevent the formation of kidney stones and even help break them down.Most kidney stones are created when the urine becomes concentrated with crystal-forming substances such as calcium, oxalate, sodium, phosphorous, and uric acid. To counteract these stone promoters, several factors present in the urine act to inhibit stone formation. The factors include: amount of urine excreted, the amounts of citrate, magnesium, pyrophosphate, phytate, and other proteins and molecules that are derived from normal metabolism. These inhibitors help eliminate crystals before they attach to the kidney walls and grow into larger stones. Kidney stones can be prevented by drinking a lot of fluid. Including citrus beverages in your diet increases citrate levels in the body. Citrate helps by blocking the formation of stones. Getting too little calcium can cause oxalate levels to rise and cause kidney stones. A diet rich in calcium is beneficial, while vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium properly. A high-protein diet increases the level of uric acid that can promote kidney stone formation. A high-salt diet should also be avoided. Lastly foods high in oxalates and phosphates such as chocolate, coffee, and tea should be avoided. Don't wait to have kidney stones. Prevent or eliminate them using these delicious recipes. Make sure to try them all so that you can find your favorite ones.

Download or read book Low Oxalate Diet Cookbook written by Arnold Kuntz Ph D and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-11-07 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oxalate is a naturally occurring molecule found in abundance in plants and humans. It's not a required nutrient for people, and too much can lead to kidney stones. In plants, oxalate helps to get rid of extra calcium by binding with it. That is why so many high-oxalate foods are from plants. A low-oxalate diet is a meal plan that is low in oxalate. Oxalate is a chemical found in plant foods. You may need to eat foods that are low in oxalate to help clear kidney stones or prevent them from forming. People who have had kidney stones are at a higher risk of forming kidney stones again. The most common type of kidney stone is made up of crystals that contain calcium and oxalate. Your healthcare provider or dietitian may recommend that you limit oxalate if you get this type of kidney stone often. If you are at high risk for kidney stones, lowering the amount of oxalate that you eat may help reduce this risk.However, research indicates that boosting your intake of calcium-rich foods when you eat foods that are high in oxalate may be a better approach than simply eliminating it from the diet. As they digest, oxalate and calcium are more likely to bind together before they get to the kidneys, making it less likely that kidney stones will form. Foods that are high in vitamin C can increase the body's oxalate levels. Vitamin C converts to oxalate. Levels over 1,000 milligrams (mg) per day have been shown to increase oxalate levels. Taking antibiotics, or having a history of digestive disease, can also increase the body's oxalate levels. The good bacteria in the gut help get rid of oxalate, and when the levels of these bacteria are low, higher amounts of oxalate can be absorbed in the body.Drinking enough fluid each day can help clear kidney stones or even keep them from forming. Spreading your intake of liquids throughout the day is ideal. Choosing water over other drinks is preferable. Avoid eating too much animal protein, as this can cause stones to form. Getting enough calcium is also helpful. Getting too little calcium can increase the amount of oxalate that gets to the kidneys, which will increase the risk of kidney stones. Lowering your salt intake can also lower your risk of kidney stones. High-salt diets tend to cause more calcium to be lost in the urine. The more calcium and oxalate in the kidneys, the greater the risk of kidney stones.

This book was released on 2023-01-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kidney stones are small, hard deposits that form in the kidneys. They develop when there is a decrease in urine or an increase in certain substances, such as minerals and salts. Changes in diet can help prevent them. Kidney stones can cause extreme pain and occur in around 9% of women and 19% of men in the United States, according to the National Kidney Foundation. This recipes in this cookbook has demonstrated the ability to reduce the risk of kidney stone formation and improve other elements of overall health, such as lower blood pressure and a reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, and cancer.Kidney stones in the urinary tract are formed in several ways. Calcium can combine with chemicals, such as oxalate or phosphorous, in the urine. This can happen if these substances become so concentrated that they solidify. Kidney stones can also be caused by a buildup of uric acid. Uric acid buildup is caused by the metabolism of protein. Your urinary tract wasn't designed to expel solid matter, so it's no surprise that kidney stones are very painful to pass. Luckily, they can usually be avoided through diet.Staying hydrated and avoiding certain foods that are high in salt and sugar, and pairing calcium with oxalate rich foods are important elements of a kidney stone diet.

Download or read book The Low Oxalate Anti Inflammatory Cookbook written by Cindy Bokma and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-11-27 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this cookbook, food blogger Cindy Bokma takes familiar recipes and re-creates them for anyone dealing with a limited diet that can become extremely overwhelming. Health is like a line of dominos and once one falls, others soon follow. Most people have more than one issue that can be addressed by diet. But when gluten-free options lead you to almond flour and milk, for example, and almonds are rich in oxalates, you may then be put in the path of an illness or issue related to high oxalates. While much is known about gluten-free, low-carb, soy-free, nut-free, and low-sugar diets, this collection highlights oxalates, a naturally occurring but potentially inflammatory substance found in a wide variety of healthy plant foods, such as almonds, rhubarb, spinach, and more. These are, unfortunately, prominent in popular diets such as paleo and ketogenic. With Bokma’s guidance, you’ll learn how oxalates affect your body, in which foods they may be found, and how to adjust your diet so they don’t cause you inflammation or other issues. Recipes such as Chicken with Garlic and Tomato, Cheeseburger Burritos, and Easy Bake Apples are simple, familiar, and stress-free and will allow you to eat your favorite foods without worry.
