The
next logical question is what causes the kidneys to stop
working properly?
There are actually a large number of related diseases that
may cause kidney and urinary tract diseases. I will mention
only a few of them. Uurologic disease, benign prostatic
hyperplasia (BPH), diabetes mellitus(Types 1 and 2), high
blood pressure, kidney cancer, and glomerulonephritis all
are related to chronic kidney failure. According to the
National Kidney Foundation, Diabetes and high blood pressure
account for 57 percent of all end-stage rental disease.
In end-stage renal disease, the patient must engage in a
process called dialysis, which acts as an artificial kidney
located outside of the body, or obtain a kidney transplant.
Dialysis is very expensive, time consuming, and not nearly
as efficient as an actual kidney. It may serve, however,
to keep the person alive until he or she can obtain a transplant
or until his or her kidneys start working again.
Unfortunately
surgical transplantation may also have many drawbacks. The
body receiving the implant may fail to accept the new kidney,
and fact that there are not enough organs available to all
who need new kidneys are just a few of the challenges with
transplantation.
The
best method, of course, to combat kidney disease is prevention.
A lifestylefor healthy people that includes drinking at
least one quart of water a dya, exercise, a healthy diet
full of a fiber, fruits and vegetables, and using natural
supplements not only may reduce a person’s weight
and high blood pressure, but that sort of life style reduces
the chance of developing cancer and an assortment of other
health conditions.
By
incorporating a natural health enhancer such as Noni into
an already healthy life style, you may be augmenting your
chance to stay clear of many of the disease that lead to
chronic kidney failure. In addition, much research has been
done to show that noni has important constituents that boost
and sustain cellular integrity.
It
is good to note that in end-stage renal failure, a patient’s
food intake is carefully monitored since high levels of
potassium can cause cardiac arrest, or the heart to stop
beating. Noni drink contains 28.52 milligrams of potassium
per ounce. This level is less than half the potassium level
found in an ounce of orange drink or tomato drink, as determined
by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Nutrient Data Laboratory.
Further, grape, pineapple, and apple drinks contain higher
levels of potassium than noni drink. The US RDA (United
States Recommended Dietary Allowance) for potassium is 2,000
mg per day, seventy times higher than the level found in
one once of Noni drink. However, if you are in end stage
renal failure and have questions as to whether the level
of potassium in Noni would be a problem. I suggest to seek
the advice of your physician.
In
my survey of the 2,838 people who consumed Noni drink in
order to augment their kidney’s health, 67 percent
reported successful results. |
