Healthy eating with kidney disease
The National Kidney Foundation's Kidney Kitchen is a resource for people with chronic kidney disease at any stage. Understanding how nutrition can affect the health of kidney patients is critical. Kidney health care professionals help by providing important support and education about dietary requirements and modifications that could potentially slow the progression of kidney disease and improve overall health outcomes. Kidney Kitchen provides many delicious recipes for patients with diabetes or patients on dialysis. Other resources include *Spice Up Your Diet* a guide to avoiding salt without losing flavor and *Dining Out with Confidence* a guide to eating in restaurants with chronic kidney disease.
