Top five food good for kidney
The top five helpful foods for general kidney health are red bell peppers, blueberries, fatty fish, cauliflower, and olive oil-all low in sodium, potassium, and phosphorus, yet high in antioxidants and/or vitamins.
Top Five Kidney-Friendly Foods
- Red bell peppers: These are richly endowed with vitamins A, C, and B6, folic acid, and fiber, while being very low in potassium. They contain the antioxidant lycopene, which may offer protection against certain cancers and are a great way to add color and flavor to dishes without excess sodium.
- Blueberries contain a class of antioxidants called anthocyanins. Sweet in taste, blueberries are low in potassium, sodium, and phosphorus, making them an excellent kidney-friendly snack.
- Fatty fish: Fish such as salmon, mackerel, and sea bass are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which can lower inflammation and improve blood pressure to help support heart and kidney health. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases recommends eating small portions, about 2-3 ounces, of fish to control protein intake.
- Cauliflower is a versatile vegetable that makes a great low-potassium replacement for potatoes. It is high in vitamin C, K, folate, and fiber. It contains compounds that help the liver neutralize toxins.
