Research from the University of Pennsylvania demonstrates that a diet rich in antioxidants, including dark green leafy vegetables (spinach, kale, bok choy), blueberries, cocoa powder, and flax seeds, can significantly improve kidney function in patients with chronic kidney disease by combating oxidative stress, which is the primary mechanism through which conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure damage kidneys.

Improve Kidney Function By 88% (in 7 days): Finally A PROVEN Method
Added:In this video, I will finally share [music] the exact recipe that increased this man's kidney function by 88% in just 7 days. And don't skip [music] this specific ingredient. The recipe does not work without it.
Katherine here. I'm a doctor of natural medicine. Today I want to share with you what I consider a pretty incredible find. Researchers from the University of Pennia just published the exact recipe they used to improve a stage 4 patients GFR by a whopping 88%.
Amazing.
But here's the thing. This recipe includes several high potassium ingredients.
So, let me ask you right now. Has your doctor warned you to stay away from bananas, spinach, and avocados?
Drop a yes in the comments if you are terrified of potassium because today we are answering a crucial question. Is eating high potassium foods what's destroying your kidneys?
Or are they actually the secret to healing? Because this 66 year old with stage 4 CAD and diabetes was put on a diet packed with healthy potassium richch foods including this breakfast smoothie.
You think his kidney function will take a nose dive, right? Nope. His creatinine dropped instead and his kidney function jumped up by 88%.
That is because the ingredients in this smoothie have kidney protecting properties so powerful the effects were immediate. We are talking just days here. I know you want the exact smoothie recipe right now and I will give it to you immediately including the one little known ingredient that is crucial to activate all the others. But wait before you throw your current diet in the trash. If your potassium is already dangerously high or if your doctor explicitly told you to limit it, you must fix that problem before changing your diet. And that is exactly why you need to watch this video all the way to the end. All right.
Okay. Time to see the recipe. The very first foundation is a large amount of dark green leafy vegetables or DGLVs as the researchers call them. You should see the exact amount and several options on your screen right now guys. This base is a must for this protocol to work. All right, there are several TGLPS you can use including spinach, kale, and bok choy. Let's look at a few powerful options I would recommend. Bok choy.
This food is simply great. Bok choy is an antioxidant powerhouse. It is packed with vitamin E, betaarotin, and it is one of the absolute best sources of calcium for CKD patients. But why is that important? Because calcium acts like a biological magnet. It binds to and flushes out phosphorus before it can poison your blood. And if you have CKD, you already know phosphorus is public enemy number one. Something else you could use is arugula or rocket salad.
This is one of the most alkalizing vegetables on the planet. It aggressively neutralizes excess acid in your blood. And guess what? Excess acid is a hidden trigger for dangerous potassium spikes. Plus, arugula is loaded with dietary nitrates to help drive down your blood pressure. Not to mention that it packs betaarotene and lutein, powerful antioxidants.
Cabbage is another option. Cabbage is not just a low potassium version of kale. It is a heavyduty antioxidant shield. By the way, the grains I just mentioned are low potassium, but be careful because many DGLVs are not. You should be able to see more info about that on screen. Remember that these you see here are the most important foods in the recipe. All right. And question for you guys, take a look at the screen right now. Which of these safe greens are you going to add to your grocery list today? Drop it in the comments. By the way, if you can find purple cabbage, grab it immediately. It is even richer in antioxidants than the other grains.
And here's the thing, many of the foods you are told to fear because of potassium are actually packed with this exact antioxidants. The antioxidants that pull this patient back from staring down the barrel of renal failure. The antioxidants that save his kidneys. So, a question you might ask right now, do antioxidants really make a difference with CKD? Well, here's the thing. For the general population, antioxidants are just a nice bonus. They are healthy, but that's it. However, if you have CKD, things change and a lot. You see, the main pathway in which diabetes, high blood pressure, and many other conditions affect the kidney is something called oxidative stress. All right? Ever heard of oxidative stress?
Here's how it works. Think of oxidative stress as a brutal 247 war happening inside your kidneys. The enemy troops are called free radicals and they are actively destroying your healthy tissue.
Your body has exactly one line of defense against these invaders.
Antioxidants.
However, after years of war, your antioxidants aren't just decimated. They are completely wiped out. No more antioxidants to fight the free radicals means fast kidney damage. Here is some good news. Sending in fresh antioxidant reinforcements from your food can make a difference with your GFR numbers. This study was published to prove exactly that. As you can see, the data showed a direct massive connection between betaarotin and antioxidant marker and kidney function in this 66 year old patient. This study shows that as the patients betaarotin increased, his kidney function improved dramatically.
Now guys, we are going to look at the rest of this recipe, including that secret ingredient I mentioned earlier in just a second. But remember that brutal war happening inside your kidneys. You cannot afford to let your antioxidant tropes run dry. Getting massive amounts of perfect organic foods every single day is hard, especially if you are trying to limit your potassium intake.
But today you can finally supplement antioxidants in a way that's perfectly safe for CKD patients. Actually, that is exactly why I formulated Reena Best. No potassium or other funny stuff in it.
Just safe vitamins and antioxidants. And here's the thing, most other Reena multivitamins on the market are designed to just manage your decline. They just watch you fail. I build Reena Best to help you fight back. I made heavyduty antioxidants the beating heart of Reina Best. With every single daily capsule, you are deploying targeted reinforcements, taper rolls, vitamin C, zinc, selenium, and even the powerful CoQ10. Reinab is the only renal multivitamin that puts these specific kidneys saving troops into one daily pill. And that's what makes Reab the best. If you are tired of doctors just monitoring your decline, it is time to arm your kidneys. Click the link down in the description or visit renobbiotech.co right now. Okay guys, let's go back to the recipe. Let's add even more antioxidants to the smoothie. The second ingredient here is blueberries.
Actually, lots of them as you can see on screen. Remember that this is a big smoothie. All right, we are going to need a lot of antioxidants to put a real fight against CKD. So you start drinking it in the morning, but you are also supposed to keep consuming the smoothie during the day, not just for breakfast.
Now, blueberries are here because they have a synergistic effect with the greens we just added. You see, while most DGLVs are a great source of vitamin E, blueberries bring vitamin C. And these two vitamins act as a team.
Vitamin C protects and recycles vitamin E, making it way more effective against free radicals. Next ingredient, raw unsweetened cocoa powder or cocoa beans.
They are basically identical nutritionally speaking. Don't skip this one. Cocoa powder is not just here to make this smoothie taste like heaven.
Raw and sweetened cocoa powder has some real health benefits, especially thanks to the flavonol, powerful antioxidants it packs. But here's something even more important to cocoa powder you don't want to miss on. You see, carotenoids and vitamin E are fat soluble. All right.
They are not bioavailable unless you add a source of fat like cocoa powder. So, here's the thing. This whole recipe, it's not just a combination of random ingredients. Each one of its elements is included to work in synergy with the other ingredients, creating a sum that's bigger than its parts. Even the fact that this is a smoothie and not just random foods to eat for breakfast was chosen for a reason. Blending releases the antioxidants, making them even more bioavailable.
With that in mind, please don't start screaming when you see the next ingredient, a banana.
Now, guys, like I was saying, all the ingredients for this smoothie are here for a reason. All right? And the goal these researchers had when testing this smoothie was simple. Give patients a huge antioxidant boost that could make a serious difference in fighting kidney disease. Now, despite being technically a berry, the banana doesn't pack just as much antioxidant power as, let's say, blueberries. It does have one powerful antioxidant, though, dopamine. Now, most people think of dopamine as the brain chemical connected to pleasure. All right? But the dopamine we get from banana is different. It doesn't really cross the brain blood barrier. It's mostly absorbed in the gut where it acts as a powerful antioxidant. Not to mention that adding a banana to this smoothie is going to make it a lot more tastier. All right, now guys, I know exactly what's going to happen. The second I publish this video, the comment section is going to absolutely explode with one word, potassium, so let's address the elephant in the room because this stage 4 patient, he started reversing his disease the moment he added more hypotasin foods to his diet. But wait a minute, most cigaretty patients are terrified of high potassium foods. You are thought that bananas and avocados are basically poison. All right, so what is the real truth? Is potassium bad for you or is it healthy?
Well, here's the thing. Potassium from the diet does not damage your kidneys.
That is pure misinformation. All right.
The actual reason why cigar patients can't have potassium is that when kidney function drops, potassium can accumulate in your blood and threaten your heart.
And here is the massive trap most patients fall into. You think restricting potassium protects your kidneys, right? But look at the science.
Forcing patients to strictly limit potassium can actually accelerate the destruction of their precious filters.
Wait, what? Shocking, I know. But it gets even crazier. Large studies prove that eating more hypotasin fruits and vegetables actively shields the kidneys from damage. Now, if you want to read these papers for yourself because maybe you don't believe me, well, don't worry.
Just leave a comment and I'll share the links.
But now, let me ask you a very serious question. Have you been religiously avoiding avocados and spinach for years, but your serum potassium is still too high?
Drop a yes in the comments if that is happening to you right now. Because I mean, if you aren't eating the bananas, why are your numbers out of control?
Well, guys, here's the thing. The real culprits are hiding in your medicine cabinet. This is a well-known fact in the medical world. All right. So, as usual, I'll show you a study saying exactly what I'm saying. It's on screen right now. What this paper says is that if your potassium levels are skyrocketing, ACE inhibitors and ARBs are usually to blame, not your diet.
Your leninopril, your Zestril, your Vasetc. These medications are the healthy heaters causing high serum potassium. And this creates a terrifying vicious cycle. High potassium vegetables are naturally alkaline. They fight off metabolic acidosis, a highly dangerous CD complication and they naturally drive down your blood pressure. But because you have been terrified into avoiding these healthy foods, your blood pressure spikes. The result, you need more blood pressure pills. Those pills spike your potassium levels even higher and your kidneys suffer the consequences. Now listen to me very carefully. Am I telling you to ignore your doctor and go eat a bunch of bananas today? Absolutely not. If your potassium is already high or your doctor told you to limit it, you cannot just change your diet blindly.
You need to find the root cause. It is your blood pressure medication. Ask your doctor if reducing the dose or switching to a safer alternative makes sense. Is it metabolic acidosis? Increasing sodium bicarbonate and switching to a plant-based diet might be the answer. Is it uncontrolled diabetes or severe constipation? Get appropriate treatment.
Do not accept high potassium as just normal for cigar. Force your medical team to treat the real root cause so you can save and lock the exact foods you need to stop your decline.
Speaking of which, let's take a look at the final ingredients for this smoothie.
Now, the next ingredient is crucial for kidney protection. Let's add some flax seed to the smoothie. Never skip flax seed when making this smoothie. But what's so special about flax seed, you ask? Well, first of all, flax seed pack lignance powerful antioxidants to replenish the rank of your army against disease. But the most important thing here is that flax seed has some fat just like cocoa powder. And like I was saying, fat content is crucial to absorb some of the most powerful antioxidants in this recipe. All right. So, if you make this recipe without flax seed or without cocoa powder, you are likely to lose a lot of the health benefits. Not to mention that flax seed has powerful kidney protecting properties as well, especially thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties. Last but not least, let's add some almond milk.
This is not just here for the taste.
Almond milk contains some more vitamin E and taco's powerful antioxidants.
Okay, we're almost done. Let's add some ice cubes, a glass of water, and let's start the blender.
Amazing. And guys, if you want to learn more about how to control your serum potassium, this video up here is for you. And this is all for today. Thank you for watching. God bless you all.
Bye.
