Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
Can Proper Nutrition Help Kidney Disease? Can the foods you eat actually slow down the progression of kidney disease? Is this possible?
Answered by Dr. Oumou Diakite
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
A healthy diet can slow down the progression of kidney disease. Foods such as garlic, strawberries, egg whites, turnips, pineapples, fish, olive oil, cabbage, and shiitake mushrooms are beneficial. It is important to limit alcohol intake and choose salt-free options.
Thanks
