5 SUPERFOODS KIDNEY PATIENTS SHOULD INCLUDE IN THEIR DIET
5 KIDNEY-FRIENDLY FOODS FOR KIDNEY PATIENTS TO INCLUDE IN THEIR DIET
RED BELL PEPPER
Red bell peppers are low in potassium, but they are also an excellent source of vitamin C and vitamin A, as well as vitamin B6, folic acid, and fiber, which are perfect for kidneys.
GARLIC
Garlic provides a delicious alternative to salt and provides nutritional benefits. It is a good source of manganese, vitamin C, and vitamin B6 and contains sulfur compounds that have anti-inflammatory properties.
ONION
Onions are excellent for providing sodium-free flavour to renal-diet dishes. Sautéing onions with garlic and olive oil adds flavour to dishes without compromising your kidney health.
APPLE
Apples are low in potassium, phosphorus, and sodium so they are a great choice for a kidney-friendly diet.
CAULIFLOWER
Cauliflower is high in vitamin C and a good source of folate and fibre. It’s also packed full of indoles, glucosinolates and thiocyanates—compounds that help the liver neutralize toxic substances that could damage cell membranes and DNA.
