For those of you that don't know I support organ donation. I thought i'd post a dessert that is "kidney friendly" today.
For people with chronic kidney disease at any stage, understanding how nutrition can affect their health is critical. Kidney health care professionals can 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.
Most people with kidney disease must modify their intake of certain nutrients such as protein, potassium, sodium, phosphorus and fluid.
