About the Book
This book sheds light on how to prevent kidney disease and kidney stones through dieting and also elucidates how to optimize kidney health. Additionally, how to mitigate risks for chronic diseases by embracing an alkaline, raw fruitarian diet is also delineated in this book. Preventing chronic kidney disease and kidney stones simply lies in embracing a raw fruitarian diet coupled with prolonged fasting. By eating eating fruits and vegetables that are characterized by high levels of alkalinity that also have a low glycemic load, such as avocados and cauliflower, you not only attain an alkaline body with a blood pH level above 7.35, but can also create a microcosm in your body that also preempts the formation of tumors and fatty plaque build up in the arteries, especially when combined with the power of prolonged fasting. Kidney disease can be offset by high blood pressure, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, blood flow issues, urinary tract problems, and other health issues ("Kidney Failure ESRD", n.d.). Embracing an anti-inflammatory, raw fruitarian diet can help lower blood pressure, prevent type 2 diabetes and autoimmune diseases, improve blood circulation, and preempt urinary tract problems. Moreover, nutrient dense, alkaline fruits and vegetables keep the body eminently hydrated since they are primarily comprised of water and help optimize kidney health. Furthermore, the consumption of nutrient dense, alkaline fruits and vegetables devoid of oxalates and phosphates will preempt the formation of kidney stones. Ensuring that you have adequate calcium from alkaline fruits and vegetables and remain eminently hydrated will also help preclude the formation of kidney stones. Additionally, fasting bolsters kidney health while also providing a reduction of oxidative stress and blood pressure (Gunnars, 2016). Chronic kidney disease, acute kidney failure, and kidney stones can be preventable by implementing optimal dietary decisions that benefit the kidneys rather than harm the kidneys. Optimizing kidney health goes beyond being adherent to consuming a nutrient dense, alkaline, raw fruitarian diet comprised of anti-inflammatory fruits and vegetables that are essentially devoid of oxalates and phosphates. In order to bolster kidney health, it is imperative to attain ample REM sleep, stay hydrated at all times by drinking a copious amount of distilled water, exercise daily, pursue stress alleviating activities daily, and minimize time spent remaining sedentary by living a physically active lifestyle in order to improve blood flow, enhance glucose metabolism, and lower blood pressure. Fasting can also be pivotal for optimizing kidney health since it can help detoxify the kidneys, shed off excess weight, and reduce blood pressure. "Fasting can also boost the immune system, stimulate cellular autophagy, improve genetic repair mechanisms, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce the risk of perilous chronic diseases, including kidney disease. Fasting eliminates input of additional toxins and helps the body open its drainage pathways" (Nohr, n.d.). Ultimately, it is crucial to optimize hydration and consume kidney healthy foods to optimize kidney health. Distilled "water supports many of your body's functions by improving oxygen delivery to cells, transporting nutrients, flushing toxins, and supporting natural healing processes" (Nohr, n.d.). Some of the many kidney health foods encompass lemons, limes, cucumbers, and celery (Nohr, n.d.). Implementing the necessary measures to optimize long term kidney health should not be overlooked since the kidneys are vital organs that are needed to filter blood and eliminate waste. Mitigating risks for life threatening chronic diseases involves following a nutrient dense, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant rich, heart healthy, brain healthy, kidney healthy, antidiabetic, wholesome, alkaline, raw fruitarian diet comprised of alkaline fruits and vegetables and undergoing prolonged fasting.
