Reduce Salt to Improve GFR (Doctor Explains How Sodium Damages Your Kidneys)

Описание: Reduce salt to improve GFR is one of the most effective ways to protect your kidneys and slow down creatinine buildup. Excess sodium increases blood volume and blood pressure, forcing your kidney filters to work under extreme stress. Over time, this pressure damages nephrons, reduces renal blood flow, and causes GFR to decline.
In this video, Dr. Mattheus from Kidney Health 365 explains how salt directly harms kidney function and why simply drinking more water is not enough. You’ll learn how lowering sodium can stabilize GFR and how to replace salt using kidney-safe flavors like lemon, garlic, herbs, and mild spices—without eating bland food.
We also expose the hidden danger of potassium-based salt substitutes, which can be life-threatening for people with low GFR.
⚠️ Educational purposes only. Always consult your doctor before changing sodium or potassium intake.
