kidney repair food - #17630
I am really worried about my dad's health. Last month, he got diagnosed with some kinda kidney issues and the doctors mentioned he needs to start focusing on kidney repair food to help with his recovery. I mean, what does that even mean? They said things like reducing sodium and increasing potassium but didn't really go into what specific kidney repair food he should be eating. He’s always loved salty snacks and it’s like pulling teeth to get him to eat veggies, you know? Lately, he’s been feeling pretty tired and his legs swell up sometimes, which can't be good, right? He’s also been told to drink more water, but honestly, he forgets a lot. Are there specific kidney repair foods that would be super beneficial? What can he snack on that’s safe? Anyone here had experience with this? I’m just trying to figure out how to make the changes easier for him because the whole thing is really stressing me out. Also, should he be avoiding any foods that he used to enjoy? It just seems so overwhelming. What do you guys think about supplements as well?
