How to Maintain
Healthy Kidneys
Few people devote much
thought to their kidneys
unless their doctor advises
them they are having
kidney troubles. But kidneys
perform essential functions
in the human body, filtering
water and waste out of
blood and urine while also
helping to control blood
pressure. When operating
correctly, kidneys can go a
long way toward ensuring
a healthy life. But when
kidneys are compromised,
the results can be very
harmful to human health.
Kidney disease is no small
cause for concern, as
the National Institute of
Diabetes and Digestive
and Kidney Diseases
notes that more than 20
million Americans may
have kidney disease, with
millions more being at
risk. Kidney disease may
be even more problematic
in Canada, where the
Kidney Foundation of
Canada reports that one in
10 Canadians has kidney
disease.

The Best
(and Worst)
Foods for
Heart
Health
o one wants to hear from their doctors that they have joined the millions of people across the globe
to be diagnosed with heart disease. The Heart Foundation reports that heart disease, which includes
diseases of the heart and cardiovascular system and stroke, is the No. 1 cause of death in the United States,
affecting both men and women and most racial/ethnic groups. Heart disease also is one of the leading
causes of death in Canada, claiming more than 33,000 lives per year.
Many factors contribute to the development of heart disease, including smoking, lack of exercise and
stress. Diet and whether a person is overweight or obese also can have a direct link to heart health. Diet,
particularly for those with diabetes and poorly controlled blood sugar levels, is a major concern.
A variety of foods are considered helpful for maintaining a strong and healthy heart and cardiovascular
system, while others can contribute to conditions that may eventually lead to cardiovascular disease or
cardiac arrest. Moderation enables a person to sample a little of everything, but not to make any one food a
habit. The following are some foods to promote heart health and some foods you might want to avoid.

Good
Tree nuts: Tree nuts contain unsaturated fats that
can help lower LDL cholesterol (the bad stuff) and
improve HDL (the good stuff). Nuts also are a filling
source of protein and other healthy nutrients.
Whole grains: Whole grains contain complex
carbohydrates for energy, as well as protein and
fiber. Fiber can help scrub cholesterol from the
blood, lowering bad cholesterol levels.
Fatty fish: Many cold-water, fatty fish, such
as halibut, herring and salmon, contain omega-3
fatty acids, which are heart-healthy. Omega-3s also
can be found in walnuts, flaxseed and some soy
products.
Beans: Beans and other legumes are an excellent
source of protein and can be a stand-in for meats
that are high in saturated fat. Beans also contain
cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber and folate, which
can reduce blood homocystein levels. The Bean
Institute reports that consuming beans may reduce
cholesterol levels by roughly six to 10 percent.
Yogurt: Researchers in Japan found yogurt may
protect against gum disease. Left untreated, gum
disease may elevate a persons risk for heart disease.
Yogurt contains good bacteria that can counteract
bad bacteria and boost immunity.
Raisins: Raisins contain antioxidants that may help
reduce inflammation. Inflammation is often linked
to heart disease and other debilitating conditions.
Fresh produce also is a good source of antioxidants.
Poor
Fried foods: Many fried foods have little
nutritional value, as they tend to be high
in saturated and trans fats. French fries are
particularly bad because they are carbohydrates
fried and then doused in salt.
Sausage: Processed meats have frequently
earned a bad reputation among cardiologists, but
sausage can be a big offender, due in large part to
its high saturated fat content.
Red meats: Enjoying a steak is probably not
as bad as eating a deep-fried brownie, but its
best to limit red meat consumption to about 10
percent or less of your diet. Red meats can have a
considerable amount of cholesterol, saturated fat
and calories.
Added sugars: Sugar can increase blood
pressure and triglyceride levels. Sugar often hides
out in foods that you would not associate with
the sweetener. Plus, many people unwittingly
consume too much sugar simply through sugarsweetened beverages and ready-to-eat cereals.
Salty foods: Leave the salt shaker in the spice
cabinet and opt for herbs for flavoring, advises the
American Heart Association. High-sodium diets
often are to blame for hypertension, a major risk
factor for heart disease.
Dairy: Artery-clogging saturated fat also can
be found in dairy products, particularly the fullfat versions. Butter, sour cream and milk can be
problematic when people overindulge. Opt for
low-fat dairy when possible.
