Simple Dietary Mistake Caused Kidney Failure: Medical Mystery Solved

Meet Nancy, a woman who decided to improve her diet. She’d fallen into a habit of snacking on chips in the evening, so she decided to swap out the chips for a healthier option. But little did she know, her choice of snack would cause her kidneys to start shutting down, and affect the rest of her life! Please do not leave this video thinking you need to cut out all high-oxalate foods from your diet. You really only need to focus on limiting them in your diet if you have a medical condition that makes it necessary, like Nancy! Instead, eat a balanced diet with enough calcium and drink plenty of water to prevent kidney stones. Fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts are healthy! They’re packed with vitamins, minerals and fiber that you need… so don’t write them off because they contain some oxalates!
