Best Foods for Maintaining Proper Balances of Albumin, Protein, Iron, Ferritin, Phosphorus, and Potassium in a Balanced Diet for a Middle-Aged People

Foreword

During my early 40's I began to actively explore new career choices in an effort to reinvent myself... as the technologies I'd grown up in became obsolete. I am now in my late 50's. I have lived an unruly and borderline self-inflicted mentally-ill lifestyle, I say with a grin. 

Why do such a thing as this?  I had to ask myself:

1. Was the life I had been living the right life for me? I was getting bored with the same old. A free man is gonna do whatever he's gonna do.

   ---

2. Could a different venue in life make all that much difference? I gotta know, so I developed 30 skillsets and became self-taught in varying capacities. Then I ventured out!

   ---

3. How about roughing it in the wilderness? That nearly killed me. Would I go back to it? Yes.

   ---

4. Now that I like researching & writing how about I make a "[A to Z Doorway 101 Series] that gives people a pointer on success?  I found out how easily that I could do all of [that] too; so here we are at doing 'word' swaps into the indexing idea ideaset, as described below for a moment. Enjoy! Once you've figured this out, See ya round!

Introduction 

After relying on lots of processed foods, microwave cooking, canned goods, plastic wrapped treats, etc. while doing nearly 90% travel & exploring for over 9 years, I faced the risk of blowing out my entire system, among other concerns, namely, losing my mind.

Let's Get Started -

All too often, as I begin to write another essay article, I use the web, like I used to use a library. I figure out my index that I am gonna pursue. 

Any Smartphone or Device -

Here is what lots of folks do online now....

Turn to their favorite search; especially more and more alternatives to Google... 

Click the next link that follows, for searching my topic: "Healthy Food Choices 101" - at Google

-----> link follows:

https://www.google.com/search?q=Healthy+Food+Choices+101&client=ms-android-verizon&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8

After that link opens... get a load of word swapping as you learn to boost your AI queries and web searching.

Boost the Quality of Search Results -

Tuck this little tidbit under your belt:   

You can replace the word 'Renal' with any other 'body system' you can think of... and search that too; such as 'eyes'. 

Also this tidbit:  Enclosing a "search phrase" inside "double quotes" instructs your search to look for that exact phrase.

Example: "heart healthy foods" searches your phrase instead of every occurrence of heart; every occurrence of healthy; every occurrence of foods.  The [trick] is a simple thing, lots of people never knew but some search engines do [it] better than others. 

Word swapping: 

Inside the phase "Metabolic Food Choices 101" I want you to spend a moment to imagine switching any of these words to further shape the direction you wish to take yourself in seeking knowledge and indexing it quickly.  

"Heart Exercise Plans 301"

Now if you "Google Search" this exact phrase, the search will construct various returns that will be quite exciting as you dig into the list of various parts of your physique followed by the depth of study you may feel you are ready for....   101, 201, 301, etc. 

But if you leave out the double quotes you won't get much help prior to ads galore..

What's In This For Everyone: 

What can be some of the fastest results by getting active with this information? 

1. A lot less trips to the doctor
2. A lot less prescriptions for pharmaceuticals
3. Feeling a lot better in your overall health & wellness
4. Reduced cost of living
5. Better preparation in self-governance 
6. A stronger mind and higher confidence 

GETTING ANAL ABOUT INFLAMMATION

In joint pain one day, I went to invest 75 bucks at Laramie Wyoming Wind River Bioscan to find out that I was about to experience severe inflammation of my kidneys, liver and pancreas along with other warnings. Jim Rubino has a method to check bodily systems and generate comprehensive reporting and assay various herbals against those energy pathways.

My results from this small investment and consise investigation was telling us that I had better immediately scale way back on junk food and stop using microwave ovens. I ordered some suggested items and began to arrange big lists of foods to stay away from and better diet choices to lose weight and stop the heavy inflammation affecting my entire body.

Having just come through a bout with shingles and deep tick bite too, while I was 217 pounds heavy -- into morbid obesity, like real quick, was not the scene I bargained for. (Thinking to myself "Yikes, Jimbo!" in walking in to meet another Jim doing high tech health scanning. Must've been a sign that I'm on the right trail.) 

Having the times of my life, still, I had been slowly harming my body, by carrying on in my less-than-wise choices. A couple of years later, I had finally lost lots of weight. But then by early autumn 2019 things started going off the rails.

See food? Eat food. 

See Beer. Drink Beer. 

Read labels? Not.

I trusted the manufacturers, albeit haphazardly. As we all do. Fast food. Junk food. Candy. Sugar. GMO. Comfortable, cheap & quick.

Throwing caution to the wind most days -

I ate and drank to my heart's content. Microwaved chips -n- cheese. Many days of practically spoiled cheap salad bowls in plastic packs and not properly refrigerated, coupled with the destruction microwaving causes in food products and the offgassing of most food serving black plastics, all together eventually gave me food poisoning and bodily toxicity. Daily alcohol beverages. Too many days consecutive.

Feeling fine then suddenly, pee problems such as too frequent having to get up at night to tinkle a little. Bad breath problems, such as ammonia breath. On and on.

No doctors within 6 hours travel time. Living in the boonies, hangin' with various buds, minute w/ cousins, on hillsides, in a van, etc. at campsites, etc. or motels or RV parks, etc. 

But, does anyone want to end up at the ER?

Near death, I was discovered to have become an acute on chronic hot-mess. Needing some 15+ subspecialty docs? How about ambulance rides or helicopter rides? 

No? 

Then this report is for all of us, myself included! Why? Because I'd love for you to avoid learning the hard way like I did.

How about new doctors and new ERs who've got no clue as to your full-code status? They might just leave you to die. 

Metabolicly Focused -

Maintaining liver health while managing a Metabolic failure recovery, particularly for individuals on the verge of major (systemic or metabolic breakdown and rapid) onset of multiple and simultaneous major organ failures, requires careful selection of medications, lab work, feeding tube, waste collection and medical intensive care....    all because my choices were mostly not vegetables that are low in potassium and phosphorus. I was too high on these too in particular...  then massively uremic. 

Kidneys 97% Blown Out - 

Our kidneys play a crucial role in filtering waste products from the blood, and when they are not functioning properly, it is essential to manage dietary intake of certain nutrients to prevent additional and very likely deadly complications.

There will be a chain reaction of things that can go wrong after decades of poor diet and lazy meal prep practices. Mark my words. Been here, done this.

3. Gallbladder
4. Pancreas

Understanding Potassium and Phosphorus in Kidney Disease -

Potassium: This mineral is vital for heart function and muscle contraction. However, in kidney disease, the ability to excrete potassium diminishes, leading to hyperkalemia (high potassium levels), which can cause serious cardiac issues.

Phosphorus: This mineral is important for bone health but can accumulate in the body when kidney function declines, leading to bone disease and cardiovascular problems. Therefore, limiting phosphorus intake is critical.

Selecting Vegetables for Liver Health -

When choosing vegetables that support liver health while being mindful of potassium and phosphorus levels, consider the following:

Low-Potassium Vegetables: 

Cabbage: Low in both potassium and phosphorus; it also contains antioxidants that may support liver function.

Cauliflower: A versatile vegetable that can be used in various dishes; it is low in potassium and provides fiber.

Zucchini: This summer squash is low in potassium and can be easily incorporated into meals.

Bell Peppers: Particularly red bell peppers are low in potassium and high in vitamins A and C.

Low-Phosphorus Vegetables:

Lettuce: Iceberg or romaine lettuce are good choices as they are low in both potassium and phosphorus.

Carrots: While slightly higher than some other options, carrots can still fit into a metabolic diet when consumed in moderation.

Green Beans: These provide a good source of fiber while being lower in both minerals compared to many other vegetables.

Cooking Methods:

Try to reduce reliance on microwave cooking to near 0% and do not overheat food products in various plastic containers without first knowing which of the 7 types of plastic exist and what can happen via such plastics as #1 PETE which may cause antimony poisoning in low does over time. This is especially important for full-timers, homeless, off-gridders, nomads and travelling gypsies. Such meal prep has been tested to decrease nutrition by as much as 97% -- especially as these ovens can overheat instantly.

Convection heating,  without burning, is a healthy choice. An inexpensive propane stove and good iron cookware can become a wise method to slow-cook and these are simple to carry in a travel pack.

Cooking Oils: Choose Extra Pure Virgin Olive Oils, Cold Pressed Coconut Oils, Pure Butter and/or Pure Lard

Boiling vegetables can help reduce their potassium content further by leaching out some of the minerals into the cooking water. It’s advisable to discard this water after cooking.

Certain cookware leach chemicals, such as Teflon-coated frying pans, after the heating surfaces become scratched and worn out. Certain plastics are bad for food storage. Do your homework as to what will work in your lifestyle.

Additional Considerations -

Always consult with a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian specializing in metabolic nutrition before making significant dietary changes. Be aware of permissible supplements. Remember to carry "binder" meds if prescribed. 

Portion control is essential; even low-potassium foods can contribute to excess intake if consumed excessively.

Incorporating herbs and spices instead of salt can enhance flavor without adding sodium or unwanted minerals.

Conclusion -

In summary, focusing on vegetables such as cabbage, cauliflower, zucchini, bell peppers, lettuce, carrots, and green beans can help maintain proper balances of potassium and phosphorus while supporting liver health within the constraints of a metabolic diet.

Consuming a required amount of daily protein will be essential for proper blood test levels.

Practice staying away from products that lead to devastating chain reactions toward declining health.
