Takeaways

• 😀 Foods that help prevent and repair kidney damage should not be seen as a cure, especially in advanced kidney disease, but they can aid in early-stage conditions.
• 😀 Rosella (Hibiscus sabdariffa) is rich in phenolic acids, hibiscus acid, and anthocyanins, which help lower blood pressure, reduce creatinine, uric acid, and prevent kidney stones.
• 😀 Green tea (Camellia sinensis) contains catechins and flavonoids, which help prevent kidney damage, lower blood sugar, and support anti-cancer effects in kidneys.
• 😀 Ginger (Zingiber officinalis) has gingerol, zingerone, and shogaols, which aid in maintaining blood flow, neutralizing acidity, lowering blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and preventing kidney damage.
• 😀 Shallots (Allium cepa) contain flavonoids, organosulfur compounds, and phenolics, which help lower serum creatinine, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels while promoting kidney health.
• 😀 Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera) are rich in chlorogenic acid and flavonoids, which help reduce blood sugar, urea, creatinine levels, and protect against kidney damage and stones.
• 😀 Gotu kola (Centella Asiatica) contains asiaticoside and madecassoside, which help lower blood pressure, improve insulin sensitivity, and prevent kidney damage and weight gain.
• 😀 Probiotics, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, support gut health, help stabilize blood sugar and cholesterol, and prevent kidney damage by improving nutrient absorption.
• 😀 Grapes (Vitis vinifera) are rich in stilbenoid flavonoids, resveratrol, and anthocyanins, which help lower blood sugar, blood pressure, and prevent kidney damage and bacterial infections.
• 😀 Many natural foods and traditional medicines can help prevent kidney damage, but the discussed foods are particularly accessible in Indonesia and beneficial for kidney health.

Q & A

What role do shallots play in preventing kidney damage?

Shallots are rich in flavonoids, organosulfur, phenolics, and phytoestrogens, which help prevent kidney damage. They promote the expulsion of kidney stones, lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and support kidney health through their diuretic effect.

Can rosella (Hibiscus sabdariffa) really prevent kidney damage?

Yes, rosella contains phenolic acid, hibiscus acid, hydroxycitric acid, and anthocyanins, which have been shown to lower blood pressure, reduce the production of harmful substances like creatinine and uric acid, prevent urinary tract infections, and protect against kidney stone formation.

Why is green tea preferred over black tea for kidney health?

Green tea is preferred because it is rich in catechins and flavonoids that can help prevent kidney damage, lower blood sugar, and reduce the risk of bacterial and viral infections. Black tea, on the other hand, can increase the risk of oxalate kidney stones.

How does ginger benefit kidney health?

Ginger contains gingerol, flavonoids, zingerone, and shogaols that help prevent kidney damage, maintain blood flow, and lower blood pressure. It also helps balance the body’s acidity, lower blood sugar, and reduce cholesterol, all of which benefit kidney function.

What is the role of moringa leaves in supporting kidney health?

Moringa leaves are considered a superfood, rich in chlorogenic acid, flavonoids, and other compounds that help lower blood sugar, reduce creatinine and urea levels, prevent kidney stones, and protect against bacterial infections, while also helping control high blood pressure.

What are the benefits of gotu kola leaf for kidney health?

Gotu kola leaves contain asiaticoside, asiatic acid, madecassoside, and madecassic acid, which help lower blood pressure, improve insulin sensitivity, lower serum creatinine and urea levels, and prevent kidney damage and weight gain.

How do probiotics contribute to kidney health?

Probiotics, containing lactobacillus and bifidobacterium, improve digestive health by increasing good bacteria. This helps stabilize blood sugar, lower cholesterol, prevent kidney damage, and reduce the risk of urinary tract infections.

How can grapes help in kidney damage prevention?

Grapes, rich in stilbenoid flavonoids, resveratrol, and anthocyanins, help prevent further kidney damage. They assist in lowering blood sugar, controlling blood pressure, reducing obesity, and improving insulin sensitivity, all of which protect kidney health.

What foods should be avoided to protect kidney health, according to the video?

The video does not specifically mention foods to avoid, but it does caution against foods that increase body acidity, as they can burden kidney function. A balanced diet that includes the beneficial foods mentioned is recommended for kidney health.
