Garlic
Apart from its aromatic appeal in food, garlic has medicinal properties. Rich in sulfur compounds like allicin, garlic has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Studies suggest that these compounds may aid in protecting kidney cells from oxidative damage and inflammation, potentially benefiting individuals with CKD.
Moreover, garlic’s potential to support cardiovascular health by assisting in reducing cholesterol levels and blood pressure adds to its allure as a kidney-friendly food. Adding garlic to various dishes offers flavor and potential health benefits, making it a way to avoid bland foods when following a kidney-friendly diet.
