Salmon porridge with pumpkin
According to research by the National Kidney Foundation, fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines contain omega-3 fatty acids that help reduce inflammation, improve blood circulation in the kidneys, and reduce kidney tissue damage caused by oxidative stress.
Omega-3 also has the ability to reduce triglyceride levels and blood pressure, two factors that are often high in people with chronic kidney failure.
Pumpkin in porridge provides beta-caroten, low-density fiber and potassium, suitable for people who need to control electrolytes.
A bowl of pumpkin salmon porridge helps patients with easy digestion, provides stable energy and supports kidney cell recovery.
White bean stewed cabbage soup
Cabbage is recommended by the Mayo Clinic as one of the dishes that are very good for kidney patients thanks to its low potassium content (only 170 mg/100g) but rich in vitamins K, C and antioxidant sulforaphane.
These compounds help neutralize free radicals, reduce inflammation, and protect the nephrons, the filtering units of the kidneys.
When combined with white beans, this soup provides easy-to-digest plant protein instead of animal protein, which increases the metabolic burden on the kidneys.
Research published in the Journal of Renal Nutrition shows that people with kidney failure using plant protein instead of 30% of the animal protein in their diet can reduce the progression of chronic kidney disease by up to 40%.
In particular, the fiber in beans helps improve the intestinal microflora, contributing to reducing ure toxins in the blood, one of the factors that contribute to impaired kidney function.
Brown rice to cook oats and steamed vegetables
Many patients with kidney failure also have diabetes or high blood pressure, two leading causes of kidney damage. Therefore, diet should help stabilize blood sugar and reduce circulatory pressure.
The combination of brown rice and oats provides a slow amount of digestive complex carbohydrates, helping to maintain energy without raising blood sugar quickly.
Both grains also contain magnesium and B vitamins, which help regulate blood pressure and protect blood vessels and kidneys.
Steamed vegetables such as carrots, squash or kohlrabi are recommended because they retain vitamins while still having low potassium content after processing.
