A study in 2021 showed that 25% of Renal (Kidney) diseases in India are due to Diabetes, 23.2% of cases due to ILD (interstitial Lung Disease), and 19.5% due to unknown causes.
Hence, Indians need to take care of Diabetes, and for lungs, we have to stay away from hazardous materials including pollution and asbestos. Sometimes, ILD is also caused by autoimmune diseases like Rheumatoid Arthritis.
India is second only after China in number of Diabetic patients. 1 in 10 people in India are diabetic. Most families across the entire demography are affected some lower than others.
Broadly, a renal (kidney) disease patient’s diet would be different according to
In the first case, diet and counseling require more monitoring as the requirements are quite specific according to reports and deficiencies.
In the second case too the monitoring is required regularly but restrictions are a little less. The management of primary diseases example diabetes or blood pressure helps in balancing the renal reports too.
Our team at The Basic Meals will help with diet and lifestyle guidance in both cases. In some cases, it is difficult to lower the reports but we are mostly helpful in managing the symptoms enough so that the disease doesn’t progress too fast.
We have Software from AIIMS Delhi which is based on the Indian Food Composition Tables (IFCT) Book, 2017. That provides the latest knowledge of the entire food range of India.
