This Silent Epidemic is KILLING Seniors?!

Kidney disease can be deadly.
The problem is that it’s a “silent condition”—meaning most people don’t know they have it until it’s too late… and they’re well on their way to kidney failure.
This is a major problem because kidney disease cases are skyrocketing—increasing by 60% in less than 20 years, and affecting about 30 million Americans… many of them seniors.
Here’s what you need to know to make sure your kidneys are up to snuff.
Your kidneys filter excess fluid and waste from your blood. When they stop doing their job, fluid and waste can build up in your body, quickly creating a very toxic environment.
By the time symptoms like itching, nausea, fatigue, and muscle cramps show up, your kidneys are already beyond the point of no return.
That’s why preventing kidney disease is priority number one… and why catching it early is the next best thing.
There are a few key risk factors to be aware of that increase your risk of kidney problems. Two of the biggest include high blood pressure and high blood sugar levels.
Now, researchers have identified another important risk factor: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
NAFLD occurs when too much fat builds up in the liver. It eventually leads to chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and liver failure.
It can also increase your risk of kidney problems.
This means that a key way to avoid kidney failure is to keep your liver healthy, too. The best ways to do that include maintaining a healthy weight and maintaining healthy blood sugar levels.
In other words, the same healthy lifestyle factors that lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke, also lower your risk of liver and kidney issues.
