Beaujolais⁢ Association Encourages Kidney Patients to ‘Move Your Kidney’ for Better Health

Chronic kidney failure, a condition affecting nearly 6 million people in France, often progresses silently. However, in ⁢the Beaujolais region, a dedicated group is challenging conventional approaches to managing the disease.

The association ‍”Bouge ton Rein” (Move Your Kidney), established in 2023, aims to integrate movement into the lives of individuals with renal pathologies. Through Nordic walking workshops, nutritional guidance, and community-building activities, the association offers a holistic approach to care.Patricia Rudelli, a dietician-nutritionist and president of the⁤ association, emphasizes the crucial role of movement in improving the quality⁢ of life for patients.

Move your ⁤Kidney: Association Objectives

“Our goal ⁢is to add health to the disease”

Founded in early 2023 by healthcare professionals from the nephrology department of the North West Hospital⁢ of Villefranche-sur-Saône, Bouge Ton Rein seeks to address the isolation, misunderstanding, and dietary challenges faced by kidney patients.‍ “We wanted to offer them a bubble ⁢of oxygen,” says⁢ Rudelli. The core team includes Marie-claude Crétin, a patient and treasurer; Ameline Baret, a specialized nurse and secretary; Nelly Hermann, a patient and vice-secretary; and dr. Cécile Teuma, a committed nephrologist.

The association’s primary goal is to provide suitable physical activities, opportunities for social interaction, and dietary ⁤workshops to help patients manage their condition and ⁢improve their ‍overall well-being. “What we want is to give⁤ a little movement,link,and pleasure to people who are sorely lacking,” ⁢Rudelli explains.

Move to Survive… and to Live Better

Kidney failure affects not only the kidneys but also the entire body and often the⁢ mind. Physical activity is a vital component of managing the condition. “physical activity improves biological constants, ⁤tension, weight… ⁤But above all, it is good for morale,” Rudelli insists.

The association offers practical solutions, including Nordic walking, Pilates, and sophrology workshops. These⁣ activities encourage patients to socialize,exercise,and find respite from their ⁣illness. “It is also getting out of the role of sick,” Rudelli underlines.⁣ “And it’s not nothing.”

Eat to Treat Yourself… Without Punishing Yourself

Dietary management is complex⁣ for individuals with kidney disease. “We hear anything and anything,” says Rudelli.”Some patients are forbidden ‍of⁣ foods without reason, others eat without ‍knowing that it aggravates their state. you have to put common sense, pleasure, and above all, personalization.”

Through cooking workshops, picnics, and adapted barbecues, the association promotes a balanced approach to therapeutic eating, focusing on adapting recipes and managing restrictions while maintaining flavor. “We adapt the recipes,we learn to dose,to get ‍around the restrictions while keeping the taste,” explains Rudelli.

Marie-Claude,⁤ a patient and member of Bouge Ton Rein, says, “For me, the association is both useful and really ⁤pleasant. It allows you to meet people of all ages, to speak with other⁢ patients, but also to interact with ⁤caregivers, nephrologist, dietician, nurses, in a different setting from the hospital. We share our experiences, we do activities like cooking or sport, we exchange recipes … ‍In fact, we build life projects, while continuing to take care ⁣of yourself, talk about it, Hydration, dialysis, transplant⁢ and even organ donation…”

Kidney Diseases:⁤ Pathologies Placed in Silence

A Silent Disease, But That shouts If We Do not Listen to ‍It

According to⁢ Public Health⁣ France, chronic renal failure affects⁤ approximately 10% of the French population. “It’s forgotten chronic diseases,” says Rudelli. “Because it ⁣does not hurt, because ⁢you don’t see⁣ anything, you don’t take care of⁣ it. And often, when the symptoms appear, it is too‍ late.”

The association also focuses on prevention,emphasizing ⁤early screening for kidney disease during kidney awareness week. Discussions ‍also⁣ cover lifestyle, hydration, and organ donation. ⁣”We are all donors, unless we oppose it. ⁤But you still have to talk about it around you,” says ⁢Dr. Lay, though the full name and affiliation were not provided.

Movement is crucial: “A good lifestyle is regular physical activity, suitable diet, and hydration ⁣of at least 1.5 liters‍ per day,” Dr. Line said, ⁣though the full name and affiliation were ‍not provided.

80% of Undernourished Brains: When the Kidney Also Sounds the Alarm of the Brain

According to ANSES, nearly 80%⁤ of French people are deficient in omega-3, B vitamins, ‍and magnesium, impacting memory, mood, and concentration. This is especially detrimental for already weakened patients.

“The kidney patients do not always eat well, because they have restrictions. But sometimes they avoid too much, or badly, and find themselves in deficiency of essential nutrients for the brain. It is a vicious circle: ‍less energy, more anxiety, less motivation …,” Rudelli explains.

Personalized ‍support from trained nephrology professionals is essential. “We cannot ⁢prescribe the same ⁣diet for everyone. It would be hazardous,” rudelli insists.

Move Your Kidney: What Future for Kidney Diseases?

A Local Association, but⁣ Not an Anecdotal Initiative

Currently, Bouge Ton Rein remains a local organization. “We do not have the kidneys solid enough to extend at the national level,” Rudelli acknowledges.

“We are a handful to bring the ⁤association to life. We just dream of helping our patients at best. And why not make ourselves ⁣known within a radius of 20 km around Villefranche. It would already be huge.”

The ⁤End Word

When asked what message she would like to share, Rudelli says, “May kidney diseases exist. That we can prevent them. And above all, that we can live with, or else. Not just survive, but really living.”

This frequently enough begins with a walk, a cooking workshop, or a supportive conversation ‍with someone who understands the experience.
