Protein & Amino Acids In Kidney Disease | Myths VS Facts | ft. Dr. Cohen
Protein has often been misunderstood in the context of kidney disease, primarily due to the kidneys' role in filtering waste products from the bloodstream, including urea, a byproduct of protein metabolism. In this video, Fiona and Dr. Cohen delve into the intricate world of amino acids, protein, and their impact on kidney health. Dr. Cohen start by explaining the fundamental building blocks of protein: amino acids. These essential components play a crucial role in various physiological processes vital for our overall well-being. However, what happens when there's a deficiency in amino acids? Dr. Cohen explore the repercussions, particularly concerning kidney function. Moving on, Dr. Cohen highlight the importance of maintaining adequate protein intake for optimal health. The debate between animal-based and plant-based protein sources is also examined, offering insights into the benefits and drawbacks of each. Furthermore, he provide guidance on how to incorporate amino acid powder into your routine. He address the ongoing discussion surrounding dietary preferences, comparing the carnivore diet with the vegan diet and their respective impacts on kidney health. Dr. Cohen explore the future direction of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, and delve into the distinctions between essential amino acids and branched-chain amino acids, elucidating their unique roles and benefits. Lastly, Dr. Cohen offer insights into the safety and potential benefits of amino acid supplementation in kidney disease and underscore the importance of utilizing amino acids to support overall health and well-being.
