The DASH Diet for Kidney Disease is a heart-healthy eating plan that can support kidney function when followed carefully. It focuses on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and low-fat dairy while limiting sodium, processed foods, and unhealthy fats. Lower sodium intake helps control blood pressure and reduces stress on the kidneys. However, people with kidney disease should monitor potassium, phosphorus, and protein levels, as some DASH foods may need adjustment. Following the DASH diet under medical or dietary guidance helps ensure it remains safe, balanced, and beneficial for long-term kidney health.
