FW: 15 super foods for kidney health

15 super foods for kidney health

Most of us know that eating a balanced diet is important for good health. Now scientists have pinpointed certain foods as super foods. In addition to promoting overall health, these are foods for kidney health as well.
To understand why they're called super foods, we first have to understand oxidation and free radicals. Oxidation is a normal bodily process for producing energy and is part of many chemical changes in your body. However, it can sometimes lead to the production of molecules called free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that bounce wildly around inside your body, damaging proteins, genes and cell membranes. Free radicals are believed to contribute to aging and many chronic diseases, including cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer's disease.
The good news is super foods contain antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals. Even in relatively low amounts, antioxidants can help slow or stop the rate of oxidation caused by free radicals. Examples of antioxidants include flavonoids, lycopene and vitamins C, E and beta-carotene.

Super foods for your kidneys

If you are on dialysis or have chronic kidney disease (CKD), you'll be glad to know that there are lots of super foods, containing antioxidants and other health-supporting properties, included in the kidney diet. People with kidney disease experience more inflammation and have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease than those without kidney problems. If you have kidney disease, it's important that you consult a renal dietitian and follow a kidney diet. Including super foods in your kidney diet eating plan can help you increase your intake of nutrients and antioxidants.
Here’s a list of the top 15 kidney-friendly super foods. These foods are good for everyone, not just people with kidney disease, so by using them in your family's meals, you'll be helping your loved ones enjoy good health too.
1. Red bell peppers
Red bell peppers are a good choice for those concerned about kidney health, because they're low in potassium. In addition, they add color and taste to any dish, while packing a generous portion of vitamins A, C, B6, folic acid and fiber. They also contain the antioxidant lycopene, which protects against certain types of cancer.
If you're following the kidney diet, it's easy to add red bell peppers to your food plan. Mix them into tuna or chicken salad or eat raw with dip. Roasted, they're great for topping sandwiches or green salads. Chop them up for use in egg dishes, such as omelets or scrambled eggs, add them to kabobs for grilling or stuff them with a ground beef or turkey mixture for a tasty baked entrée.
2. Cabbage
Crunchy cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable filled with phytochemicals, chemical compounds found in certain fruits and vegetables. Phytochemicals work to break apart free radicals. Many phytochemicals are believed to combat cancer and support cardiovascular health.
Inexpensive cabbage is a great addition to your eating plan, because it's also high in vitamins K and C, high in fiber and a good source of vitamin B6 and folic acid, yet it's low in potassium, so it's especially kidney-friendly.
If you're following the dialysis diet, add cabbage by turning it into coleslaw or use as a topping for fish tacos. Cabbage can be boiled, steamed or microwaved and then enjoyed with a touch of butter or cream cheese and a sprinkling of pepper or caraway seeds. Other nutritious meal options include cabbage rolls and stuffed cabbage.
3. Cauliflower
Another kidney-friendly super food is cauliflower. This cruciferous vegetable brings lots of vitamin C to your plate, along with folate and fiber. In addition it contains compounds that help your liver neutralize toxic substances.
Cauliflower can be eaten raw with dip or in salads. Steamed or boiled, it can be seasoned and turned into a great side dish. You can even mash cauliflower as a dialysis-friendly replacement for mashed potatoes.
4. Garlic
Garlic is good for reducing inflammation and lowering cholesterol. It also has antioxidant and anti-clotting properties. (Cooking garlic will not affect its antioxidant properties, but it will reduce its anti-clotting and anti-inflammatory effects.)
If you're following the dialysis diet, use garlic powder instead of garlic salt to add extra flavor to your meals without adding extra sodium. Garlic can be used in cooking many dishes: meat, vegetables or tomato sauce, for instance. Once you start cooking with garlic, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it.
5. Onion
Another popular food used for seasoning is the onion. Onion is full of flavonoids, particularly quercetin. Flavonoids are natural chemicals that prevent the deposit of fatty material in blood vessels and add pigmentation (color) to plants. Quercetin is a powerful antioxidant that is believed to help reduce heart disease and protect against many forms of cancer. It also has anti-inflammatory properties.
Low in potassium, onions are not only kidney-friendly; they also contain chromium, a mineral that assists your body with the metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates.
Onions can be enjoyed raw or cooked in a variety dishes.
6. Apples
An apple a day really does help keep the doctor away! High in fiber and anti-inflammatory properties, apples help reduce cholesterol, prevent constipation, protect against heart disease and decrease your risk of cancer.
Renal-friendly apples can be eaten raw or cooked. Or get their health benefits by drinking apple juice or cider.
7. Cranberries
Cranberries are great for preventing urinary tract infections, because they make urine more acidic and help keep bacteria from attaching to the inside of the bladder. They've also been shown to protect against cancer and heart disease.
Although we think of cranberries as a holiday side dish, cranberry juice can be enjoyed daily for added nutrition. Or toss a handful of dried cranberries into your cereal or salad.
8. Blueberries
These tasty berries get their blue color from antioxidant compounds called anthocyanidins. Blueberries get high marks for nutrition, thanks to natural compounds that reduce inflammation and lots of vitamin C and fiber. They also contain manganese, which contributes to healthy bones.
Use blueberries to top off your morning cereal, whip them up in a fruit smoothie or enjoy them in a baked treat, such as muffins or crisp.
9. Raspberries
Raspberries contain a compound called ellagic acid, which helps neutralize free radicals. The berry's red color comes from antioxidants called anthocyanins. Raspberries are packed with fiber, vitamin C and manganese. They also have plenty of folate, a B vitamin. Raspberries have properties that help stop cancer cell growth and the formation of tumors.
Sprinkle fresh raspberries on cereal, or whip them up in a kidney-friendly fruit smoothie.
10. Strawberries
Strawberries are rich in two types of antioxidants, plus they contain lots of vitamin C, manganese and fiber. They have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties and also help keep your heart healthy.
Like most berries, they're wonderful on cereal or in smoothies. Add whipped topping for a quick dessert, or puree them for a fresh addition to pound or angel food cake.
11. Cherries
Cherries are filled with antioxidants and phytochemicals that protect your heart. When eaten daily, they have been shown to reduce inflammation.
Fresh cherries make a delicious snack. Of course, cherry pie is a popular dessert, but there's also cherry crisp, cherry cheesecake and even cherry coffee cake. Cherry sauce makes a nice accompaniment to lamb or pork.
12. Red grapes
The color in red grapes comes from several flavonoids. These are good for your heart, because they prevent oxidation and reduce the chance of blood clots. One flavonoid in grapes, resveratrol, may boost production of nitric oxide, which increases muscle relaxation in blood vessels for better blood flow. Flavonoids also help protect you from cancer and prevent inflammation.
Choose those with red or purple skin grapes for the highest flavonoid content. Eat grapes as a snack. When frozen, they make a good thirst-quencher for those on a fluid-restricted diet. Add grapes to fruit or chicken salad. Or drink grape juice.
13. Egg whites
Did you know that egg whites are pure protein? They provide the highest quality protein there is, along with all of the essential amino acids. If you're on the kidney diet, it's good to note that egg whites have less phosphorus than other protein sources, such as egg yolks or meats.
Use egg whites for omelets or egg white sandwiches. You can also add them to smoothies or shakes. Hard boil eggs and use the whites to use in tuna or green salads.
14. Fish
Another high-quality source of protein is fish. Both the American Diabetes Association and the American Heart Association recommend that you include fish in your meal plan two or three times a week. Besides being a great source of protein, fish contains anti-inflammatory fats called omega-3s. These healthy fats help prevent diseases, such as cancer and heart disease. They also help lower LDL (the bad cholesterol) and raise HDL (the good cholesterol).
The types of fish that have the most omega-3s are salmon, albacore tuna, mackerel, herring and rainbow trout.
15. Olive oil
Research has shown that people in countries where olive oil is used instead of other types of oils tend to have lower rates of cancer and heart disease. This is believed to be due to olive oil's many good components: oleic acid, an anti-inflammatory fatty acid which protects against oxidation and polyphenols and antioxidant compounds that prevent inflammation and oxidation.
Use virgin or extra virgin olive oil – they're higher in antioxidants. Olive oil can be used in cooking or to make salad dressing, as a dip for bread and as a marinade for vegetables.

Summary

If you're concerned about the health of your own kidneys — or somebody else's — these 15 super foods for kidney health should be on your grocery-shopping list. Ask a renal dietitian for help including them in your kidney-friendly meal plan if you have chronic kidney disease. When buying fruits and vegetables, get the freshest ones you can find and be sure to include a variety, since some are rich in one nutrient and others are rich in another. If you can only find fruits that are not at their peak, the flavor may be lessened, but you'll still get good nutritional value from them for your kidney health.

Faith in Him

Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin.  God lifts you up, takes you in, and washes all the dirt off of you.  He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff ... including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc.  Then he carves you a new smiling face and puts his light inside you to shine for all the world to see!

Find this paragraph in one of my notebooks.  Like it.  Hope the reader will like it too.  

My second cousin stayed with me for 18 days.  That was quite long, which disturbed my original research plan during this only long holiday in a year.  Well, that's life.  Lots of unpredictable things happen and mess up your original plan.  He is an atheist.  We almost had argument about faith.  I respect his choice, but he seems to have hard time to adapt my choice.  Anyway, he will leave soon (Jan.6.2012, this Friday).  Wish him a safe trip home and bright future as he wishes!  Maybe one day he will have a better vision.  Pray for him and for the whole Chinese nation.  Money should not be all and the only driven force for life.  That's miserable.  Sigh ... ...

Fourier Transform: Nature’s Way of Analyzing Data

By

Rohit Thummalapalli

– December 1, 2010Posted in: 83.4 Full Lengths

Described as “nature’s way of analyzing data” by Yale professor Ronald Coifman, the Fourier Transform is arguably the most powerful analytical tool in modern mathematics. Professor Peter Moore, a Yale structural biologist and professor of biophysics, agrees. “To form an image on your retina, the lens in your eye performs Fourier transformations on the light that enters it,” he explains. This tool is truly ubiquitous in nature, as our eyes and ears have subconsciously performed the Fourier transform to interpret sound and light waves for millions of years. Hence it was only a matter of time until the human intellect caught up to our internal processing systems and was able to functionally describe this process. After years of research, French Baron Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Fourier uncovered this powerful tool in the early 1800s, naming it the Fourier transform.
Fourier, a French military scientist, became interested in heat transfer in the late 1790s. In fact, many of his guests often complained that he kept his home uncomfortably warm. During Napoleon’s expansion campaigns, Fourier served on the Institute of Egypt’s scientific body in 1800, and after the French left Egypt, he set his efforts on repairing France from the devastation of the 1789 French Revolution. During this time, his obsession with heat transfer drove him to derive an equation describing the conduction of heat in solid bodies. Within seven years, he invented the Fourier transform to solve this equation.
The question itself was complicated; Fourier wanted to solve his equation to describe the flow of heat around an iron ring that attaches a ship’s anchor to its chain. He proposed that the irregular distribution of temperature could be described by the frequencies of many component sinusoidal waves around the ring. His premise was that the maximum temperature and position of the harmonics of these sinusoidal components could be derived via the Fourier transform of the originally irregular distribution of temperatures.
With today’s conceptions of mathematics and physics, these claims seem natural. Professor Coifman explains, “The time vibrations of any mechanical system is a combination of sines and cosines.” However, during the early 1800s, Fourier’s claims were radical. He proposed that discontinuous functions, such as temperature distributions, could be described by combining many continuous functions; for example, an infinite number of sinusoids could represent any function, including one with multiple jumps or discontinuities. Not surprisingly, these claims were met with heavy scrutiny. In fact, during one of Fourier’s research presentations, a contemporary French mathematician Joseph Louis Lagrange reportedly exclaimed that his ideas were “nothing short of impossible.”
Although Lagrange himself made a variety of mathematical contributions during the 1800s that greatly aided modern studies of astronomy and economics, the ubiquitous power of the Fourier transform in the modern mathematical world indicates that his doubts were misguided. Today, the Fourier transform can be applied in two different ways. First, it can be used to describe continuous functions – functions providing values for every real number. In these cases, the original function is deconstructed into component sinusoidal functions at every frequency, and these are combined by the Fourier integral operation. A second type of function that the Fourier transform can be applied is one consisting of numerous discrete values, a common form of data obtained from scientific experimentation. In these cases, a Fourier series is calculated by the sum of a series of sine or cosine functions at discrete frequencies.
Even though Fourier derived this method of analysis in the early 1800s, its general applicability to solving scientific problems in an efficient manner was greatly limited until the advent of modern electronic computation. Before the 1960s, Fourier transforms for newly discovered functions that were based on experimental data or not found in reference tables necessitated an intimidating and tedious amount of arithmetic calculations: for every n data points (usually well over 1,000 for many studies), approximately n additions and n² multiplications were needed to perform the transform. As stated by Professor Moore, “the sheer computational difficulties” and effort involved in performing a Fourier transform on paper restricted its widespread usage in the sciences.
However, in 1965, Princeton mathematics professors James Cooley and John Tukey developed the so-called “Fast Fourier Transform” (FFT) algorithm at IBM’s Watson Research center. This computational method was an integral discovery that greatly expanded the potential use of Fourier methods to solve scientific problems, and was arguably based on the work of German mathematician Carl Freidrich Gauss in the early 1800s. The FFT exponentially reduces the number of multiplication steps needed to analyze curves. For example, if a curve consisted of 8 samples, then 8², or 64, multiplication steps would be needed for analysis via traditional Fourier methods. The FFT breaks this curve into four irreducible sets of 2 sample points each. Then, these are recombined into two four-point transforms, and finally into the 8-point transform of interest. Since each stage requires 8 multiplications, the total number of steps required is 16, just one-fourth of the original 64. Therefore, the advent of the Fast Fourier Transform, and its counterparts, such as the related Hartley transform, have allowed for a much more widespread application to many scientific fields dealing with fluctuations or wave-like phenomena. Professor Moore agrees, “One of the reasons that the Fourier transform has become so pervasive today is because the computation has become routine.”
Peter Moore has been using Fourier transform methods to solve biological problems since his days as a graduate student, explaining that Fourier transforms are nothing short of “pervasive in the physical sciences.” He primarily deals with its applications to crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging, noting that Fourier transforms are essentially “built into the physics of many scientific phenomena.” Further applications lie in the realm of imaging and spectroscopy. Modern NMR methods collect data in the form of electrical signals as a function of time, but display them as a function of frequency. A Fourier transform is used to proceed from the time domain to the frequency domain. “I use them all the time,” Moore notes, “I can’t even remember a time when I wasn’t using them.” Professor Coifman, whose research deals with inventing new complex transformations, agrees with the ubiquity of this method, “Nowadays, there isn’t a single electronic instrument that doesn’t use a Fourier transform.” Indeed, the Fourier transform today is vital to audio and video compression; without it, MP3 players and digital video cameras would not exist!
“The image formation carried out by any focusing lens is most accurately described by the Fourier transform,” concludes Professor Moore. From this, the true ubiquity of the Fourier transform reveals itself; not only does it possess fundamental applications in modern electronics, biology, chemistry, and medicine, it is rooted in stimuli processing mechanisms that we relied upon for millions of years before the work of Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Fourier. Professor’s Coifman’s concluding words are therefore undeniable: the Fourier transform is “one of the most fundamental mathematical tools in today’s world.”
