3 Great Kidney Friendly Dinner Recipes

kidney friendly recipes

When living with kidney disease, there may be a lot to avoid when it comes to certain things in your life. No matter what it is that now needs to be avoided when diagnosed with a serious medical condition such as this one, you have to take being cautious and aware of your health more seriously, especially when it comes to the type of foods you consume. The positive side to this is that even though awareness is important it doesn’t have to have an impact on your taste buds.

What Foods To Avoid When Living With Kidney Disease

Unfortunately, there are some foods you can no longer consume when living with kidney disease. This is due to them causing inflammation that will affect your kidneys and trigger uncomfortable and painful symptoms. Here are certain foods that you should avoid or try consuming less of while living with kidney disease:

  • Bananas
  • Dairy
  • Processed Meats
  • Soda (especially dark-colored sodas)
  • Avocados 
  • Canned Foods
  • Oranges (fruit or liquid)

Now, you’re probably wondering why you need to avoid most of these nutritious food options right? Well, most of these options are high in potassium and phosphorus. When living with kidneys that don’t work as well as they need to, they have a hard time breaking down the nutrients in your body, which will lead to future damage if all the nutrients aren’t broken down properly. High-level nutrients in people with kidney disease can actually be more damaging than it is helpful, so try avoiding what you can or lower the number of foods that are nutritious but will trigger inflammation if consumed too much.
