Kidney disease is a difficult disease. When a person hears they have kidney disease, their first thought is that of impending death. In most cases, this is not necessarily the case. With proper care and proper diet, the patient can be successfully treated. As with any diet, it will not be easy.

Cranberries are not a great source for your kidneys because they are very high in potassium, phosphorus and they also contain sodium, so they need to be avoided. Blueberries are excellent for your kidneys because of all of the antioxidants, manganese and vitamin C.


Cherries are such an excellent option is because they contain phytochemicals that are excellent at lowering your cholesterol levels. Since cholesterol can become a major problem for people with kidney disease, this is obviously going to be an excellent choice for you to implement into your diet right away to help improve the overall health of your kidneys.

Garlic has been known to help prevent plaque so your teeth will stay healthy, and this is also another great way to lower your cholesterol levels as well. Garlic is a powerful food source that can really work wonders on the human body.

For many people, following a strict diet, and undergoing dialysis for a brief period of time may get your kidneys back in working order. It all depends on the etiology for your specific illness. There may be a need to stay on medication for a while as well, but you can do it. Good luck.
