Safeguard Your Kidneys

The kidney is one of the vital vertebrate organs in the body. Thus, we must protect it from dysfunction that may result from food intake, and its excesses. Basic factor in our survival is ‘Good Health,’ and getting it is thru careful choice of our way of life, practices or knowing what we are into, and its extremes, especially on ‘Food,’ the core source of our existence. Food substances are often a question on what, when, how much, to take at certain conditions. 

Is a high protein diet dad for our kidney?  Yes, it is, and here is why (may not be a universal assertion, refers to a particular).

The body metabolism functions to normal if it is fed properly. If not perfectly balanced but near too normal, or nearest to what is required, the body itself takes over the repairs naturally for any flaw or imperfections. Food substances needed for our body’s functional activity is to get plenty of carbohydrates, to fuel us with energy. Reason why even grains, and other fiber-filled fruits and vegetables, such as legumes, lentils nuts and other fibrous were supplied by nature with High Proteins, and some partial, to balance with others.  

Meat from animal life, have perfect proteins content and full of cholesterol fats to go along with it. This is the reason why in the book of Genesis, meat was never mentioned as part of Adam’s food. By catholic or non-catholic dogma in our existence, eating animal meat came in later, after man’s fall in the Garden of Eden.  High Protein intake rather than carbohydrates especially, on weight loss diet plans, will let the body burn proteins and fats to fuel us with energy, instead of it, coming from carbohydrates.

Undertaking exclusive High Protein Diet, will put the body at risk and may even lead to death if taken into the extremes. The amino acid (proteins) and fats are vital in growth and development of cells and tissue of every organ in our body.  If the body does not receive carbohydrates to be burned into fuel for our energy, it will burn the proteins and fats, to fill this up, thus depriving our body of the vital elements in body reconstruction. 

Much burning of proteins and fats will accumulate ketones in the body, and if ketones develop to extreme proportions, it endangers health and will cause death. Practically, the kidney and liver are most vulnerable in the ketone mass, which increases because of the process that turns proteins and fats into fuel for energy.

As a fact, it is understood that ‘protein’ was never meant to fuel us with energy, but for rehabilitations and repairs. Hence, it is necessary for growth and development of children and adolescents. Any adverse effect on High Proteins low Carbs intake can’t easily affect people without pre-conditions for that ailment.
