#YourRenalDiet

Your Renal Diet is one of the most important things you have to deal with when you are diagnosed with kidney failure. Completely changing your diet can be difficult but it’s necessary to maintain your quality of life. Your kidneys filter your blood, removing toxins from the foods we eat and getting rid of excess fluid from our bodies.

 

When your kidneys aren’t functioning properly you loose the ability to clean your blood. That’s where dialysis comes in, it does the job your kidneys can’t do anymore. However, you have to remember that normal kidneys work 24/7, while those of us on Hemodialysis (HD) only do dialysis every other day. That means toxins and fluid get a chance to accumulate in our bodies which can lead to a whole lot of issues.

 

So ensure we remain as healthy as possible we need to follow our renal diet as closely as possible.

#YourRenalDiet is a project we created to help you get into a low sodium renal lifestyle with easy-to-follow meal plans and low sodium/potassium + phosphorus recipes.
