1-SALT. Salt is an essential part of a healthy diet, and very important for the kidneys. Today our refined table salt is full of aluminum and other chemicals. It has often been treated with heat during the refining process, which damages the salt crystals and changes the way salt acts in our bodies. Replace all refined table salt with unrefined salts. Celtic sea salt (gray in color), black salt, unrefined rock salt (various colors), Hawaiian alaea salt (pink in color), and Himalayan crystal salt all offer much healthier alternatives. The best and most unrefined salts can not be placed in a salt shaker. Free of anti-caking agents and chemicals, they consistently absorb moisture from the air and form a crust. Instead, place them in a small bowl with a little spoon for applying them to foods after cooking. Salt should not be cooked, but added after cooking as a garnish. As you make the switch from refined salt to nature’s whole salts, you will notice that different types of salt have different flavors, based on the minerals that they contain. Salt cravings that are caused by refined salt consumption will disappear. 2-SUGAR. Eliminating refined sugar and diet sweeteners from your diet is one of the keys to kidney regeneration. Refined sugar consumption leads to many other symptoms, and is very hard on the kidneys. The sweet flavor, very important for maintaining wholeness, should be taken at every meal, in a small amount. Replace all other sweeteners with stevia extract-an herbal remedy actually used in diabetes recovery-maple syrup and dehydrated maple syrup, agave nectar, or unrefined cane juice powder. Xylitol-a natural sugar extracted from from corn, and produced in fruits-is also beneficial when used in moderation.
