🍎 CKD Diet Basics 🍎
Living with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) means making smart food choices to protect your kidneys and overall health. Here are the essentials:

✅ Watch Protein Portions: Too much can strain your kidneys, but the right amount is important. Follow your care team’s guidance.

✅ Limit Sodium: Choose fresh foods, cook at home, and avoid high-salt packaged items.

✅ Be Mindful of Potassium & Phosphorus: Some fruits, veggies, and dairy can be high—stick with kidney-friendly options.

✅ Stay Hydrated (As Advised): Follow your fluid plan to avoid overload.

🌿 Small changes add up to big benefits for kidney health!

🔎 CKD-Friendly Label Reading Tips for Snacks
When shopping for kidney-friendly snacks, the nutrition label is your best guide! Here’s what to watch for:

1️⃣ Sodium 🧂
Aim for 140 mg or less per serving (that’s considered “low sodium”).
Watch out for terms like “salted,” “brined,” “smoked,” or “cured.”

2️⃣ Potassium 🍌
Check the ingredient list for potassium additives (potassium chloride, potassium phosphate, etc.).
If potassium isn’t listed, ask your care team what’s safe for you.

3️⃣ Phosphorus 🧀
Avoid snacks with phosphorus additives (look for “phos” in the ingredients).
Choose fresh or minimally processed snacks when possible.

4️⃣ Protein & Carbs ⚡
Pair a protein + carb for steady energy.
If you’re on protein restrictions, watch serving size.

5️⃣ Serving Size 📏
Labels show nutrition per serving, not per package—snack packs often have 2–3 servings inside!

💡 Quick Rule of Thumb:
✔️ Low sodium
✔️ No “phos” additives
✔️ Balanced portion sizes

Kidney-smart snacking starts with reading the fine print! 🥕🍎
