If it is true that a diet is to be followed strictly for those who have kidney problems - and the kidneys are so sensitive - it is equally true that there are a lot of rumors and stereotypes that do more confusion than anything else.
When it comes to dieting, the first thing you think about is to lose weight, then to cholesterol and cardiovascular disease, gastritis and even tumors, but rarely is associated with this concept to the kidney, the organ of our body which eliminates the slag.

Some myths about renal diet
The firs renal diet myth is related to salt: only insipid foods for those with kidney disease? Not at all! Just do not abuse it! And especially so-called eye-salt diet: they will also have a low sodium content, but they are rich in potassium and are certainly not good - especially if combined with drugs that can typically result in a retention of this substance. Of course to avoid eating little flavor, you can use the spices, but never too much because they are a mine of sodium!
There are some who replaces as too sugary fruit with yogurt, but be careful because it contains proteins too!
Particular mention should be, in fact, the proteins: these are really bad but only if taken in excess it can lead to kidney dysfunction due to excessive waste to be filtered. But, on the other hand, eliminate them altogether would involve the use by the body to those contained in the muscles: as if to say that the body itself would eat their muscles. So pay attention to those who make sport: to be avoided in toto amino acids and protein supplements.
And if you suffer from kidney failure a real low-protein diet - parallel to that with low phosphorus, hypokalemic, low salt - is a must, however, to "reduce the symptoms of kidney failure and thus reduce the sodium and potassium, prevent and delay alterations of the bone by controlling the intake of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D, "also in the words of B.
As for another food too often labeled as very harmful to the kidneys, pizza lovers can finally get back not only to dream, but also to eat it quietly - after years in fact it is believed that it was harmful: replace a meal with a Daisy has no contraindication. And thank goodness!
Follow a kidney diet for the kidneys is also fundamental to keep the body normal weight and avoid increasing the work of the kidneys and the same not only the amount of load that should physically withstand; inter alia obesity is just a risk factor for kidney disease. So pay attention to what you gulp down in the first place, but attention also to monitor conditions often organ function in question. How? Simple blood tests and urine tests, along with those that determine the level of creatinine: This is a substance produced by muscle metabolism that a healthy kidney disposes in its entirety, while that is found in large doses in the blood of those who have a filter that does not work so well, because failing to dispose of it accumulates there.
Therefore it is necessary to eliminate pizza, salt, protein, and only drink large quantities of water to work well for our kidneys: as in all things, even the secret is in the measurement. The balance is fundamental in fact, even and especially in those who make sport that, as mentioned above, does not have to wrap myself in supplements difficult to dispose of, but not to give up a nice juicy steak because it still requires energy to do sports!
While it is true that a vegetarian diet seems to somehow help those suffering from kidney disease: in fact, a vegetarian diet can lower the levels of phosphorus in the blood and urine, beyond the various currents in which vegetarianism is divided - vegan, raw food, fruitarian - as demonstrated at Indiana University (USA). It appears that the phosphorus itself is one of the causes of kidney disease and for this reason should be eliminated, or at least used with caution.
In any case, it's not just the vegetarians would be able to avoid this kind of disease, if in fact vegetables are always the favorite foods for a healthy and balanced diet, the trick lies in combinations of foods: the best diet is the most varies because it excludes a priori any type of deficiency, because it provides the body with any kind of substance.
So, once again, whether you do or do not do sports, whether you follow a vegetarian diet or not, whether you suffer from kidney disease or another, the secret, as in all things, is the right fit!
