Q:
I suffer from kidney disease for 3 years. I need a diet plan to enhance my kidneys. What can I eat to make my kidney 14% go up to 20%?
A:
Adjusting your daily regimen to include more kidney-friendly foods is important to boost your kidney function.
1. A reduced protein diet
A reduced-protein diet can improve kidney health and reduce the workload on your kidneys. Choose foods with modest protein amounts, such as rice or soy milk, low-protein nuts or pasta, legumes, lean meats, fish, poultry and egg whites.
2. Vegetables and fruits
Vegetables and fruits improve your kidney function such as grapes, cranberries, blueberries, onions, celery, beets, spinach and asparagus. Besides, you should make sure the fruits and vegetables you eat are low in potassium.
3. Iron-rich foods
If you suffer from kidney disease, your body may be low in iron. The kidneys play an important role in the production of red blood cells, but without a properly functioning kidney, your red blood cell will be low and your energy levels might suffer as a result. Foods with rich iron like leafy green vegetables and eggs can help you increase your iron intake.
4. Healthy fat
Healthy fats such as olive oil, polyunsaturated vegetable oils, seeds and nuts provide dense amounts of calories and nutrients. Many people with kidney problem struggle to maintain appropriate caloric levels. Poor caloric intake can put your body at a risk for a weakened immune system and malnutrition. To prevent this condition, your diet should include healthy nuts, seeds and oils. Healthy fats can also promote overall body functioning.
