Choosing the right dishes not only helps kidney patients sleep well, reduces the burden on the kidneys but also improves the quality of life.

According to the National Kidney Foundation (USA), kidney patients need to limit salt, potassium and phosphorus in their diet, while prioritizing high-quality, easy-to-digest foods rich in protein.

Dinner should be light, not too much oil, avoid processed dishes with a lot of spices because it can overload the kidneys.

Cefel snakehead fish porridge: Snakehead fish (s anchovies) are rich in protein but low in fat, and are easy to digest, suitable for people with kidney disease. Combining with sweet mustard greens helps supplement fiber and vitamin C, while limiting constipation, a common problem in chronic kidney patients.
