When asked about the causes of kidney failure, many attribute it to soft drinks, noodles, pastas, alcohol, smoking, high blood pressure, and diabetes, and conclude by advising regular check-ups. But let’s take a step back and learn from our ancestors. Our grandparents and great-grandparents lived remarkably different lives, and kidney failure was hardly heard of. What sets them apart from us today? The answer lies in the choices we make. Let’s uncover the truth together. How are you different from your fore parents? The difference is civilization. Civilization brought about numerous products, habits, and lifestyles that our ancestors didn’t have.
1. Our ancestors relied on natural remedies, whereas civilization introduced chemical-laden medications. This is a significant contributor to kidney failure and various other health issues.
2. Humanly modified foods, unlike the whole foods our ancestors ate, are a major culprit. Processed, refined, adulterated, hydrogenated, carbonated, and chemically preserved foods are detrimental to our health.
3. Retaining urine for extended periods can harm your kidneys. When you delay urination, urine returns to its storehouse, causing painful urination and potentially leading to kidney damage.
4. You already know the risks of smoking.
5. Alcohol’s dangers are well-known.
6. Contraceptives come with risks.
7. Hard drugs, including certain medications like blood pressure drugs, sleeping pills, and pain relievers, can be detrimental.
8. Chemically produced body care products can harm your skin and overall health.
9. Chemical hair relaxers are another risk factor.
10. Poor hygiene and dirty toilets can expose you to infections that may affect your kidneys.
11. Improperly dried underwear can also lead to infections.
12. Sanitary products require careful consideration.
The truth is, diabetes itself isn’t the cause of kidney failure; rather, the wrong lifestyles that lead to diabetes can cause kidney failure, if left unchecked. Many are misled into managing diabetes without addressing the root causes, and the drugs can exacerbate the problem. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Make informed choices about your health. What westerners term ‘diabetes’ can be a sign of kidney failure. Be cautious and take control of your health today.
