Dark, Leafy Greens
Spinach, kale, collard greens, and other dark, leafy greens shine as nutritional giants with an impressive array of vitamins and minerals. These greens offer generous amounts of vitamins A, C, K, folate, and minerals like calcium and iron. While their potassium content may raise concerns for individuals with CKD, their health benefits cannot be overlooked in people with healthy kidneys. The high antioxidant content from lutein and zeaxanthin reduces inflammation and oxidative stress, benefitting kidney health and overall well-being. Incorporating controlled portions of these greens while seeking guidance from healthcare providers can maximize their nutritional benefits. [4]
