Foods Beneficial for the Kidneys:
1. High-quality protein: Choose lean meats, fish, poultry, and tofu as sources of low-fat, low-phosphorus优质 protein. Avoid excessive red meat and processed meats.
2. Whole grains: Oats, brown rice, and whole wheat bread are rich in fiber, which helps control blood sugar and blood pressure, reducing the burden on the kidneys.
3. Fresh fruits and vegetables: Especially blueberries, strawberries, citrus fruits, and leafy green vegetables, which are rich in antioxidants that help protect the kidneys.
4. Low-fat dairy products: Such as skim milk and yogurt, which provide high-quality calcium and help prevent kidney stone formation.
5. Nuts and seeds: Almonds, walnuts, and flaxseeds contain healthy unsaturated fats, but intake should be monitored due to their phosphorus content.
