Renal Diet

A renal diet is designed for individuals with kidney disease to help manage their condition and reduce strain on the kidneys. It typically limits certain nutrients, especially protein, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus. This means eating fewer high-protein foods like meat and dairy, cutting back on salty foods, and being mindful of potassium-rich items like bananas and potatoes. The goal is to help maintain a healthy balance of substances in the body, improve overall health, and prevent further kidney damage. A healthcare provider or dietitian can provide personalized guidance to ensure nutritional needs are met.
