renal diet plan

A renal diet plan helps protect your kidneys by controlling intake of specific nutrients. It limits foods high in sodium (salt) to reduce blood pressure and fluid retention, and reduces protein, as excess protein can strain damaged kidneys. It also monitors phosphorus and potassium, minerals found in many foods, to prevent imbalances that can affect health. You might be advised to eat more fruits and vegetables low in potassium, and choose lower-phosphorus options. The plan is personalized based on your kidney function, and working with a healthcare provider or dietitian ensures it meets your individual needs for optimal health.
