Managing Your Diet with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
- Taking charge of your diet with chronic kidney disease (CKD) plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy balance of minerals and salts in your body. A well-managed diet not only helps prevent or delay health complications but also supports your kidneys in filtering waste from your blood and maintaining optimal nutrient balance. By reducing stress on your kidneys and minimizing waste production, a healthy diet can significantly benefit your overall kidney health.
- The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) Diet is endorsed by major health organizations including the National Kidney Foundation, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, American Heart Association, and USDA MyPyramid guidelines.
