Healthy Diet Food To Balance Yours Creatine Levels

Creatine is the waste product in your blood that comes from muscle activity. It is normally removed from your blood by your kidneys, but when kidney function slows down, the creatine level rises. Therefore there is no food or diet that can maintain the balanced of your creatine level. Creatine level will depend on how much you use your muscle.

The normal levels of creatine in the blood are approximately 0.6 to 1.2 milligrams (mg) per deciliter (dl) in adult males and 0.5 to 1.1 milligrams per deciliter in adult females.

The creatine level is an estimated test to assess kidney function. It is influenced by a variety of factors like your hydration status at the time of test etc.

Here are some ways to lessen your creatine level:

• Drink 6 glasses of water every morning when u wake up. Try to avoid morning coffee, instead you can go for Hibiscus or green tea which also helps in lowering cholesterol levels.

• Avoid taking dairy products, meat, fish, etc and avoid foods rich in protein.

• Avoid foods rich in protein and have a walk every day and keep your self away from high protein foods and keep your kidney healthy.

• Use a protein tracker to have an eye on your protein intake everyday.

• Monitor your level of creatine periodically and keep your protein levels in control and stay healthy.
