Summary of Transcript:
This YouTube video talks about the importance of the kidney and how to protect it. The kidney filters blood 24/7, removing toxins and other substances from the body that come from food, alcohol, drugs, and pollution. As people age, they can lose up to 20% of their kidney function, so it is critical to eat well and reduce these harmful substances. Kidney stones, which can cause damage and scar tissue, are often caused by oxalate stones found in foods such as almonds, spinach, and chocolate. A decrease in salt intake and an increase in potassium can help decrease calcium excretion and prevent crystals from forming. Citrates, found in citrus fruits, can also help protect the kidney. Potassium is beneficial for the kidney, except in end-stage kidney disease, and is found in foods such as leafy greens and avocados. It is crucial to consume foods high in potassium but low in oxalates to protect the kidney.

Discovering How to Protect Your Kidneys with Dr. Eric Berg
Are you familiar with the functions of your kidneys? The kidneys are a vital component of your body’s filtration system that eliminates wastes and toxins, regulates electrolytes in the body, and balances fluids. Unfortunately, as you age, you lose kidney function, making it crucial to take measures to protect your organs.
Dr. Eric Berg specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting and shared many methods to protect and elevate kidney function. In this video, he discusses an overview of how to keep your kidneys healthy by avoiding adverse foods, embracing healthy nutrition and natural remedies, and consuming the correct amount of fluids.
Understanding the Composition of Your Kidneys
Did you know that your kidneys are made up of approximately one million filters that filter your blood? These filters, also called nephrons, eliminate waste and excess fluids from the body. Hence, the health of these tiny filters is crucial to your kidney function.
The Worst Food to Eat for Healthy Kidneys
Dr. Berg explained that the worst foods to consume for the kidneys are sugar and oxalate-containing foods. Oxalates are chemicals that can produce crystals in the body and cause damage to the kidneys. Foods high in oxalates include spinach, sweet potatoes, nuts, grains, and chocolate.
What You Can Do to Protect Your Kidneys
Dr. Berg encourages us to adopt a healthy lifestyle, emphasizing adequate fluid intake, healthy nutrition, and natural remedies. Drinking enough fluids each day, such as 2.5 liters of water and lemon water, is essential to flush out toxins and prevent kidney damage.
Moreover, avoiding high-oxalate foods or consuming them with dairy can help balance out the potential harm from oxalates. Also, following the Healthy Keto® diet, intermittent fasting, and avoiding fructose and high doses of Vitamin C can protect your kidneys.
Natural remedies, such as consuming plant foods and microgreens and apple cider vinegar, can boost kidney function.
Conclusion
Your kidneys are vital organs, and it’s crucial to take measures to protect them. Dr. Eric Berg provides some useful tips that you can adopt to keep your kidneys healthy. So, avoid harmful foods, consume adequate fluids, and embrace natural remedies to help improve kidney function.

Today we’re going to talk about how to protect your kidneys.
The kidneys can take a beating and can even regenerate. They are composed of roughly one million tiny filters, which filter your blood.
But as you age, you start losing these filters—so it becomes even more important to start eating better and decrease exposure to toxins.
The two worst things for your kidneys are sugar and oxalates. It’s crucial to stop consuming sugar and high-carb foods and to start limiting your exposure to high-oxalate foods.
However, consuming cheese or dairy with foods that are high in oxalates, but are otherwise healthy, can help counter kidney damage from oxalates.
Foods high in oxalates:
• Almonds
• Spinach
• Beet tops
• Peanuts
• Grains
• Beans
• Sweet potatoes
• Cassava
• Tapioca
• Kiwi
• Chocolate
• Swiss chard
• Turmeric
• Cinnamon
• Clove
The best ways to protect your kidneys:
1. Consume lemon water every morning
2. Consume apple cider vinegar mixed in water
3. Consume 2.5 liters of water a day
4. Avoid high-oxalate foods or add dairy to high-oxalate foods
5. Get on the Healthy Keto® diet and do intermittent fasting
6. Avoid fructose
7. Avoid consuming high levels of vitamin C
8. Consume potassium (not for end-stage kidney disease)
9. Consume plant foods and microgreens
