Prevention of Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD)
Choose foods that are healthy for your heart and your entire body: fresh fruits, fresh or frozen vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat or fat-free dairy products. Eat healthy meals, and cut back on salt and added sugars. Aim for less than 2,300 milligrams of sodium each day. Try to have less than 10 percent of your daily calories come from added sugars.
Tips for making healthy food choices
Cook with a mix of spices instead of salt.
Choose veggie toppings such as spinach, broccoli, and peppers for your pizza.
Try baking or broiling meat, chicken, and fish instead of frying.
Serve foods without gravy or added fats.
Try to choose foods with little or no added sugar.
Gradually work your way down from whole milk to 2 percent milk until you’re drinking and cooking with fat-free (skim) or low-fat milk and milk products.
Eat foods made from whole grains-such as whole wheat, brown rice, oats, and whole-grain corn-every day. Use whole-grain bread for toast and sandwiches; substitute brown rice for white rice for home-cooked meals and when dining out.
Read food labels. Choose foods low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars.
Slow down at snack time. Eating a bag of low-fat popcorn takes longer than eating a slice of cake. Peel and eat an orange instead of drinking orange juice.
Try keeping a written record of what you eat for a week. It can help you see when you tend to overeat or eat foods high in fat or calories.
