Dealing with Processed Foods
Eating processed food daily can be a bad decision, not just for your kidney health but also for your general health. Processed foods are high in sodium and favourites concentrates, which too are laden with salt and other harmful elements. The next time you go out and decide to buy foods like frozen pizza, instant noodles, or even microwavable foods, just know you are slowly killing yourself. You really do have enough time to make meals from scratch!
Greens Shrink but Nutrient Levels Remain
A lot of us are used to the “once it is cooked, it will shrink” mentality, but what we fail to realize is that the nutrient levels always remain the same. For green leafy vegetables like swiss chard, spinach, and beet greens, they are generally very good for us thanks to their rich nutrient benefits but are also high in potassium. Once again, you can have a little but not too much. It is all about balancing all the foods listed!
