Healthy Kidney Diet for Beginners Dr David Jones

While a kidney disease diagnosis can be overwhelming, you're not alone. Nearly 26 million adults are affected by chronic kidney disease, but there is hope: your diet. In the United States alone, 26 million adults have chronic kidney disease (CKD), and experts project that over half the country may develop CKD due to rising rates of disorders such as diabetes. While nephrologists can monitor kidney function and treat patients with medications, they can't always offer the nutritional guidance that every kidney patient requires. In this book, you will find out how kidney disease works, and learn how diet plays a key role in keeping you healthy and avoiding dialysis. Explore at-a-glance food charts to help you regulate nutrients like sodium, potassium, phosphorus, and protein. All of the book's recipes include nutrition facts, and many can be made in 30 minutes or less-accommodating your busy schedule and helping keep your kidney-friendly diet stress-free.
