Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Diagnosed with kidney disease and told to "watch your sodium, potassium, and phosphorus"? Here is exactly which foods to watch, and what to eat instead.

Most people leave the appointment with a warning and no map. Then the surprises start. Coconut water, sold as a health drink, can carry more potassium than a banana. A "reduced sodium" soup can hide a potassium additive. Deli turkey, bran cereal, brown rice, and dark colas all cause trouble that is easy to miss.

100 Foods to Avoid If You Have Kidney Disease takes the guesswork out of every meal. It is a clear, practical renal diet guide for anyone living with chronic kidney disease (CKD), whether you were newly diagnosed, are managing stage 3 or stage 4, or are on dialysis.

Every one of the 100 foods gets the same easy-to-scan entry:

- Why it's a problem, in plain language.- A nutrition snapshot of sodium, potassium, and phosphorus per common serving.- A risk level, so you know what to cut and what- A kitchen tip that makes the swap actually work.

Inside you will also discover:

- How your kidneys work, and why the "big three" minerals matter so much.- How to read a food label like a renal patient, including how to spot hidden phosphate additives and potassium chloride.- Kidney-friendly foods to enjoy, with portion guides.- Cooking techniques that lower potassium, including step-by-step leaching.- A smart shopping routine and a renal pantry checklist.- How to handle restaurants, holidays, and travel.- A 14-day kidney-friendly meal plan.- 12 simple recipes made with no added salt.- 25 answers to the questions patients ask most, plus a 40-term glossary.- A one-page swap chart for the fridge door and a food and symptom tracker to bring to appointments.

Written for real life:

This book does not use scare tactics or promise a cure. It is warm and plainspoken, set in a large 8.5 x 11 format that is easy to read, and built so you can find any food in seconds. It is ideal for seniors, caregivers, and family members cooking for someone with kidney disease.

It also respects a simple truth: your numbers are yours. Every chapter works alongside the targets set by your nephrologist or renal dietitian, so you can bring this book to your next appointment and ask questions better.
