The World Health Organization and the American Heart Association both recommend that reasonable food choices can slow the progression of chronic kidney disease and reduce the risk of complications from high blood pressure or diabetes.
According to the World Health Organization, a diet rich in green vegetables, fresh fruits, whole grains and vegetable protein can improve blood sugar and blood pressure control. Research shows that increasing consumption of vegetables and fruits helps reduce the risk of chronic kidney disease in people with diabetes by 12%. In addition, potassium-rich foods such as bananas, sweet potatoes, and spinach can help control blood pressure, but people with kidney failure should consult a doctor before including these foods in their diet.
A diet rich in fiber, low in sodium and saturated fat helps reduce blood pressure by an average of 11 mmHg in people with early-stage hypertension, while effectively supporting blood sugar control.
Experts also emphasize the importance of limiting refined starch (such as white rice, white rice balls), added sugar and fast food. Instead, you should eat whole grains, beans, fatty fish and unsaturated vegetable oils such as olive oil. These foods help improve insulin sensitivity and stabilize blood sugar, while protecting blood vessels and kidneys.
A reasonable diet: Low in salt, low in sugar, lots of green vegetables, rich in fiber and healthy fats are the foundation for controlling blood pressure, blood sugar and protecting long-term kidney health.
