Healthy Eating
Eating well is essential for managing chronic kidney disease. What you eat can have a big impact on your health and kidney function. Choosing the right foods can help your kidneys stay healthier and feel better overall.
When someone has kidney failure, their body has trouble getting rid of extra fluid and waste. To help manage this, it’s essential to be mindful of food and drink intake.
Many people find it hard to change their eating habits at first, but most adapt over time. Those who start making healthy changes early on often face fewer issues later.
At FVD, you can work with a skilled dietitian who understands kidney-friendly eating and can guide you in making better nutrition choices.

Activity can be as simple as following a regular fitness program at local gyms or community centers. Eating healthy and getting moving are important steps toward feeling your best.
