18. Pineapple
Many tropical fruits like oranges, bananas and kiwis are very high in potassium.

Luckily, pineapple makes a sweet, low-potassium alternative for those with kidneys problems.

Plus, pineapple is rich in fiber, B vitamins, manganese and bromelain, an enzyme that helps reduce inflammation (51).

One cup (165 grams) of pineapple chunks contains (52):

Sodium: 2 mg
Potassium: 180 mg
Phosphorus: 13 mg
19. Cranberries
Cranberries benefit both the urinary tract and kidneys.

These tiny, tart fruits contain phytonutrients called A-type proanthocyanidins, which prevent bacteria from sticking to the lining of the urinary tract and bladder, thus preventing infection (53, 54Trusted Source).

This is helpful for those with kidney disease, as they have an increased risk of urinary tract infections (55).

Cranberries can be eaten dried, cooked, fresh or as a juice. They are very low in potassium, phosphorus and sodium.

One cup (100 grams) of fresh cranberries contains (56):

Sodium: 2 mg
Potassium: 85 mg
Phosphorus: 13 mg
20. Shiitake Mushrooms
Shiitake mushrooms are a savory ingredient that can be used as a plant-based meat substitute for those on a renal diet who need to limit protein.

They are an excellent source of B vitamins, copper, manganese and selenium.

In addition, they provide a good amount of plant-based protein and dietary fiber.

Shiitake mushrooms are lower in potassium than portobello and white button mushrooms, making them a smart choice for those following a renal diet (57, 58).

One cup (145 grams) of cooked shiitake mushroom contains (59):

Sodium: 6 mg
Potassium: 170 mg
Phosphorus: 42 mg
The Bottom Line
The kidney-friendly foods above are excellent choices for people following a renal diet.

Remember to always discuss your food choices with your healthcare provider to ensure that you are following the best diet for your individual needs.

Dietary restrictions vary depending on the type and level of kidney damage, as well as the medical interventions in place, such as medications or dialysis treatment.

While following a renal diet can feel restrictive at times, there are plenty of delicious foods that fit into a healthy, well-balanced and kidney-friendly meal plan.

This herb is known "Nri Ndurie " in Ukwuani, " Ogunta " in Enuani, "Olobe" in Yoruba and Chanka Piedra in Spanish.

The good you find in others, is in you too.

The faults you find in others are your faults as well.

After all, to recognize something you must know it.

The possibilities you see in others, are possible for you as well.

The beauty you see around you is your beauty.

The world around you is a reflection,
A mirror showing you the person you are.

To change your world, you must change yourself.

To blame and complain will only make matters worse.

Whatever you care about, is your responsibility.

What you see in others shows you yourself.

See the best in others, and you will be your best.

Give to others, and you give to yourself.

Appreciate beauty, and you will be beautiful.

Admire creativity, and you will be creative.

Love and you will be loved.

Seek to understand, and you will be understood.

Listen and your voice will be heard.

Show your best face to the mirror,
And you'll be happy with the face looking back at you.

“But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;” –Matthew 5:44

I look for the best in others;

I am Happy, Rich and Healthy!

And so you are! Thank God!

From good to GREAT DAY 1

"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning." — Albert Einstein

I Don’t KNOW!
***************************77
Tony Egba, The Entrepreneur
***************************77

A producer at [television show] said to me, “whatever you do — don’t ever ever say ‘I don’t know.’ If you say that, we’ll never ask you back.”

Then, thrust into a dark room, mic'ed up, camera pointing at me, the producer in my ear, “and…GO !” and six of us arguing about the worst, most obscure issue.

“Can the economy pick up an elephant and throw it into the sun?”

TonyEgba answered; I don’t know.

People ask me, “How can you stay informed if you don’t watch the news?"

Other people don’t ask. They just say, “And this is what is wrong with society.

People like him don’t stay informed. If everyone did that we’d go back to the Dark Ages.”

Cherie said to me, “Don’t put ‘I don’t know’ in your articles so much. It sounds false.”

I don’t know.

We’re so conditioned to hear from people who pretend to “know” that we forget the beauty of “I don’t know.”

Marie Curie didn’t know why some rocks gave off light. So she discovered radioactivity.

The Wright Brothers didn’t know how to fly in the air.

So they took the science of riding a bike (a bike is allowed to wobble) and added wings and made a plane.

Andy Warhol didn’t know what art would stand out against his peers. So he painted a soup can.

Many people don’t know when the baby has consciousness and when it doesn’t. So the past 20 years has seen a massive evolution in brain science.

Einstein didn’t know what it would be like for a man traveling at the speed of light, looking at a man standing on Earth.

What a weird thing for someone to not know. Einstein also said, “The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious.”

The mysterious gave him a simple equation to define all of time and space.

That one quote made me research all his other quotes. Not about science, but about all the things we don’t know.

When I interview people, I never know. I want to know. These people of such a variety of backgrounds: writers, artists, entrepreneurs, musicians, astronauts, and on and on.

I want to get at their secret. To peel back the layers. To grasp a little bit of their heart and feast on it.

When I begin a relationship, I don’t know anything — and I’m insecure. I have to learn to be comfortable with not knowing.

I have from experience lerrnt to be comfortable with unknown

The layers of a person never end. We each just have to decide when we stop peeling. We’ll never know what’s at the core.

How often do we just sit and dwell in not knowing? To be comfortable with not knowing.

Scott Adams, the cartoonist of Dilbert, said he likes to argue both sides of an intense issue. Then both sides hate him (“How can you defend the other side??” each side says).

I’m jealous of the people who seem to know. They walk around confident, they smile, they are sure of their opinions.

There are some times or the other we were all broken. Passing our time enough to get bandaged up again to face the real world.

What am I trying to say? I’ve reached for the sun and fallen to the Earth. I tried to know. I tried to shout, “Here I am!”

Every day there’s a new question. What can I possibly do to justify why I am alive?

Every day a new answer to explore. Is this it?

Einstein said, “Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”

I don’t know. I don’t know.

For the next 30 days I want you to join me on the curious journey of how to make our Good Life GREAT! By Design.

Are you ready to go through this journey with me?

I don’t know if you will take this journey with me?

HOWEVER IF YOU WANT TO BE COMFORTABLE WITH UNKNOWN
