These videos were all very interesting and informative! I didn’t realize high blood pressure caused kidney stones. My son has high blood pressure & has had a lot of trouble with kidney stones, with a few hospital stays thrown in too.
I learned the hard way personnally about kidney stones being caused from cokes. I had that happen to my ONE time, and that is all it took! My doctor had been trying to get me off caffeine for several years ( as I was hooked on Pepsi ), but after that, no problem — I quit cold turkey that very day! To this day, I very seldom drink a carbonated drink, unless it comes with a meal sort of thing.
Truly makes you consider your value of cokes! I have had some several years ago & I started drinking Coke again….I pray they don’t come back! I didn’t realize about the high blood pressure~
These videos were very informative. I did not know that your kidneys were the size of your fist. I also did not know that coke contributes to kidney stones.
These videos gave some good info about kidney disease. I did not realize I should already be getting my kidney’s checked.I feel behind, my family has a history of diabetes which I know affects the kidney so I need to look into that check up soon and annually there after.
I have always heard of acute and chronic kidney failure and really didn’t know the difference between the 2, acute is the sudden shutdown of previously normal functioning kidneys and chronic is kidney failure that is slow, over time. I didn’t know that the 2 most common causes of kidney failure were diabetes and high blood pressure, which scares me because my dad has both and does not follow his diet like he should he cheats alot.
My husband has had mutiple episodes of kidney stones! I’ve never seen anything make him cry and those tiny stones took him to his knees in tears. Through his episodes we were never told high blood pressure could cause them. He was told to cut down his sodas and milk products. These videos were very helpful and contained good facts to know about kidney stones.
When my grandfather’s second kidney failed I saw the effects of kidney disease and the increasing difficulty adhering to a renal diet and when they say it is one of the hardest, they aren’t joking. His peritoneal dialysis treatment was monitored well and we were given instructions by a nutritionist on how to get him the protein he needed. It seemed like his phosphorus was always high even with binders and his potassium as well. The condition wreaks havoc and it is so hard for people to get relief. I hope that people facing this illness in their family are ready to face it.
I have learned a lot about nutrition from these videos. I have high blood pressure and didn’t realize it could contribute to kidney stones. I guess I have been fortunate to have not had any yet. Lord knows I haven’t had the best diet over the years!
I had my blood pressure checked the other day and the pharmacist said that i was endanger of high blood pressure. And now seeing this video really makes me weary. I have heard such horror stories about kidney stones. Like they don’t go away once you get them. I girl in high school was always gone because she had them. It makes me cringe inside jsut thinbking baout it.
These vidoes are very important and informative. I had no idea that high blood pressure could contribute to kidney stones. I am starting to actually watch what I eat and drink because kidney stones can from a lot of different things.
The awareness is the number one rule of prevention of such diseases. There are high cost and the binding effect of this diseases are so often traumatic. the human body is a complicated, nobody has a complete control of it. so,the master rule is caution about everything the specialists state regarding the issue of public health.

I was not aware of these kinds of things that affect our kidneys. Very scary.

The pain caused with kidney stones is awful so it is no wonder that you stopped drinking the soda the same day.

I’ve never experienced kidney stones, but I’ve always heard how painful it was. I am very glad that I don’t drink any type of soda.

Through his episodes we were never told high blood pressure could cause them. He was told to cut down his sodas and milk products.

My grandmother also had kidney stones frequently, but cutting out soft drinks helped her to overcome them fairly easily.
I stopped drinking sodas years ago. Maybe I inadvertently avoided having kidney stones because of it.
I need to stop drinking sodas but I just can’t for some reason. Do you have any tips on how to quit drinking them all together?
