New research found that a higher intake of plant-based protein could reduce a person\u2019s risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD).<\/span><\/li>\n
According to researchers, preclinical trials indicate that plant-based protein results in less inflammation than animal protein\u2014inflammation is a potentially relevant factor in CKD.<\/li>\n
Experts recommend people implement small, sustainable habits like Meatless Monday into their routine, to gain some benefits from plant-based eating.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nA higher intake of plant-based protein could reduce your risk of chronic kidney disease, a new study finds.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
\nThe kidneys are critical organs, filtering the blood to remove toxins, control blood pressure, and regulate blood chemicals. But for a significant portion of the population, these filtration organs face certain obstacles.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that 15% of American adults\u2014about 37 million people\u2014live with chronic kidney disease.<\/span> This condition is defined by a gradual loss of kidney function over time, which increases the risk of stroke, heart attack, anemia, and other serious health outcomes.\n<\/p>\n
\nNew research published in the American Journal of Kidney Diseases<\/em> suggests that a higher intake of plant-based protein could reduce the risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD).<\/span> In the study, people who ate more plant-based protein were less likely to experience CKD over a nearly 10-year period than those who ate more animal protein.\n<\/p>\n
\nResearchers have long known that the type of protein we eat can significantly impact the health status of our kidneys.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThere has been accumulating evidence that animal protein consumption may have detrimental effects on vascular health, potentially contributing to the development of kidney disease,\u201d Seung Hyeok Han, MD, PhD, co-author of the study, told Health<\/em>.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\nAccording to Han, preclinical studies have indicated that animal protein might trigger more inflammation than plant-based protein\u2014a potentially relevant factor in kidney health. \n<\/p>\n
\nDespite this, neither the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines nor the National Kidney Foundation\u2019s Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) guidelines explicitly address the best source of dietary protein for people with CKD.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe latest KDOQI clinical practice guideline says, \u201cthere is insufficient evidence to recommend a particular protein type (plant vs animal) in terms of the effects on nutritional status, calcium or phosphorus levels, or the blood lipid profile.\u201d<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
\nThese factors led Han and his team to study how choosing plants over animals for dietary protein could enhance kidney well-being.\n<\/p>\n
