It's so important to eat healthy, and maintaining a routine exercise regiment to keep healthy, strong BONES. This will keep your "Osteoblast & Osteoclast" in balance.

Also, if you deal with thyroid issues...please talk to your doctor or Endocrinologist about whether a bone density test my be needed to detect if you're heading towards osteopenia or osteoporosis.

What Are Osteoblasts and Osteoclasts? These special cells help your body grow and recycle your bones. Learn how they work.

According to PubMed, the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway is a master cellular defense system that protects our bodies against oxidative stress, inflammation & cellular damage.

Read how "Astaxanthin" can help reactivate this pathway....🤓

Astaxanthin activates the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway to attenuate indoxyl sulfate-induced oxidative stress and DNA damage in renal tubular epithelial cells Astaxanthin (AST) was investigated for its therapeutic role in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its underlying mechanisms. Network pharmacology analysis identified 29 overlapping targets of AST and CKD, which were enriched in oxidative ...

Oxidative Stress (OS) within our cells is something EVERYONE has to deal with. It's a "huge" impact to our health and quality of life. And, while we see a lot of new info on different, effective, natural herbs to take, which I like to promote as well.... we also need to focus on our daily food intake!!

I've included some info on how OS impacts our body, and some foods that are high in "antioxidants" to help our body fight back🤓👍

Did you know that Moringa, Thyme and Nettle Leaf can help our bones absorb Calcium and Vitamin D?

If you're required to take Calcium & Vitamin D supplements on a regular basis, you'll want to consider including one of these herbs also!!

Use approximately 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon in hot water with a bit of honey, which is also an anti-inflamatory agent.

Note: Moringa is considered to be high in both potassium & phosphorus; Nettle Leaf is high in potassium, so those with stages 4 & 5 CKD may want to omit these herbs.

I'm learning about CKD and finding out more & more. Literature seems to indicate that majority of patients living with chronic kidney disease, are NOT told about having this disease until around Stage III. However, an "eGFR" (estimated glomerular filtration rate) is part of your STANDARD blood tests whenever your doctor orders a Basic Metabolic Panel!!

So, if understanding this correctly....this means your doctor can tell you when you're in the very 1st stages, where natural treatments to prevent further damage would prove more realistic & beneficial!!

On saying this, PLEASE...whenever we visit our doctors, ask him/her for our test results for the following: eGRF/Kidneys, A1C/Blood Sugar levels and (LFT) Liver Function Test or Hepatic Panel. Don't wait until something "doesn't feel right". Let's be pro-active and get our results as soon as we can, so we can focus on getting healthier now!!!

We all want to stay healthy as best as we can by drinking plenty of water. So, let's make or maintain a new habit of adding the following into our daily regiment to support a healthy liver, kidney & lymphatic system the natural way⚘️💜

Nettle Leaf
Green Tea
Dandelion Root

People living with "all" stages of kidney disease can reap benefits when incorporating more natural Nitric Oxides into their daily diets!

Decreased production or reduced bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO) can result in endothelial ...

The importance of incorporating more natural "Nitric Oxides" into your daily diet...especially for those living with stage 3 kidney disease.
