Eating more plant-based protein foods can help stave off chronic kidney disease (CKD), according to a new study.The long-term condition keeps the organs from working effectively and does not usually cause symptoms until it has reached its advanced stage, according to the NHS.

New research, led by the National Kidney Foundation has found that plant-based diets are linked with lowering chances of the silent condition that can progress into kidney failure and early cardiovascular disease.Through a UK study of 117,809 participants, Biobank found that those who primarily consumed protein from non-animal sources had a lower risk of developing CKD.

Findings do not prove that giving up animal protein entirely will prevent CKD, but eating more protein sourced from plants may lower chances of it developing.
