Stiff Heart and Weak Kidneys: Understanding Diastolic Heart Failure and Chronic Kidney Disease

TLDRThis video discusses diastolic heart failure and chronic kidney disease, their underlying causes, and their coexistence. It provides insights on how a stiff heart and weak kidneys affect blood circulation and lead to symptoms like shortness of breath. The video also offers simple steps to prevent or reverse these conditions.

Key insights

🫀Diastolic heart failure occurs when the heart is stiff and unable to relax normally, leading to decreased blood circulation.

👥Diastolic heart failure is frequently associated with chronic kidney disease, as both conditions can worsen each other.

🩸Underlying conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases can contribute to both diastolic heart failure and kidney disease.

🚰Optimizing hydration by consuming hydrating foods like cucumbers and melons can help combat diastolic heart failure and kidney disease.

🥦Following a plant-based nutrition plan can naturally control underlying conditions and improve heart and kidney health.
