What should I drink on this meal plan?

In kidney disease management, water is the best choice for maintaining fluid balance. Cranberry juice, in moderation, supports urinary health. Lemon water can help manage kidney stone risk. Herbal teas should be chosen with care, avoiding those with high potassium or phosphorus.

How to get even more nutrients?

For kidney disease, managing diet is critical to reduce strain on the kidneys. High-quality protein in moderate amounts helps lessen kidney workload. Avoiding high-potassium and high-phosphorus foods is key, focusing instead on heart-healthy fats and low-potassium fruits and vegetables to manage nutrients without overburdening the kidneys.
