But I can slow the damage. It doesn&#8217;t stop me from living &#8211; I just need to make smart choices,&#8221; Green said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At home, it&#8217;s easier to follow good eating habits,&#8221; the 25-year-old player said. &#8220;When travelling for cricket, finding the right food for my kidneys is harder.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is tough when playing cricket almost non-stop for 10 months each year across different countries.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everyone has health challenges you might not see. For me, it&#8217;s about making smart choices every day to manage my condition.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cameron Green then went on to reveal that during his time in India for the Indian Premier League (IPL), a chef helped him plan his diet, which has &#8216;really worked&#8217; for him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Last year in the Indian Premier League (IPL) I worked with a chef there,&#8221; Green shared. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We made a meal plan with four healthy options like spaghetti, chicken meals, rice and poke bowls. This really worked for me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They won&#8217;t improve on their own, but with proper care, the progression can be slowed. If I stay disciplined with my management, it shouldn&#8217;t affect my career.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cameron Green is currently experiencing stage two chronic kidney disease &#8211; AFP\u00a0 Australia&#8217;s batting all-rounder Cameron Green shared&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29890,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4101],"tags":[186,17893,17895,17892,17897,17899,17898,17894,1406,17896,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-29889","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-australia","9":"tag-australia-batting-all-rounder-cameron-green","10":"tag-australia-cricket-team","11":"tag-cameron-green","12":"tag-cameron-green-interview","13":"tag-cameron-green-is-currently-experiencing-stage-two","14":"tag-cameron-green-reveals-how-he-balances-cricket-and","15":"tag-chronic-kidney","16":"tag-cricket","17":"tag-cricket-australia","18":"tag-sports","19":"tag-uk","20":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114358325447409595","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29889","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29889"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29889\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29890"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29889"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29889"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29889"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
