According to Dr. Joan Brookhyser Hogan, a kidney nutritionist (Renal Dietitian, USA): The diet for people with kidney disease should focus on reducing the burden on the kidneys, limiting sodium, potassium, phosphorus and animal protein in moderation, while increasing foods rich in antioxidants and natural diuretic properties.
Reef-bike squash soup (or shrimp) - purify and naturally diuretic
Squash is highly appreciated in traditional and modern medicine for its ability to cool, diuretic and support blood pressure reduction. When cooked with young ribs or shrimp (in moderation), this soup provides easy-to-digest protein and does not overload the kidneys.
Squash is rich in water, vitamin C, and fiber. The natural sodium content is low, suitable for people who need to eat blatantly. Shrimp or young ribs should be consumed in controlled amounts to avoid exceeding the permitted threshold.
Note: Limit salt seasoning and do not use thick bone broth.
Spinach soup with minced meat - nutritious but gentle
Malabar spinach is a vegetable rich in vitamins A, C and iron, which help cool down, support digestion and facilitate urination. When combined with grated lean pork, this soup brings healthy protein while still maintaining its coolness and ease of digestion.
Propagated plant foods like Malabar spinach should be consumed under control, but should not be completely eliminated, as they also provide the necessary anti-inflammatory and micronutrient, says Dr. Hogan.
Note: People with severe kidney failure need to check their blood potassium levels regularly before eating dark green vegetables.
Corn silk soup and plantain - a natural remedy for the kidneys
In Vietnamese folk medicine, corn silk and psyllium are known as "coolidation pills", have diuretic, anti- Vuelling and kidney filtering properties. This soup does not require many spices, helping to reduce the metabolic burden on the body. Corn silk contains flavonoids and antioxidants. Plantain has mild anti-inflammatory effects and supports uremic excretion.
