Low Sodium Meals – Renal Meal Delivery to Your Door
Renal diet meal plans, also known as kidney or dialysis diets, consist of low sodium foods and protein that help you track daily sodium intake to help balance blood flow, nerve function, and regulate bodily fluids.
According to Davita Kidney Care, when individuals living with renal disease consume too much sodium, their kidneys are unable to eliminate excess minerals and fluid from the body. Eventually, these substances build up and cause dehydration, placing additional strain on the heart and leading to higher blood pressure. When this happens, individuals may experience swelling, shortness of breath, and eventually kidney failure. Therefore, the key to delaying further kidney damage is proactively managing the amount of sodium going into your body.
Seniors living with renal disease can now enjoy Meals on Wheels’ low sodium food delivery program that not only tastes great, but it also offers better nutritional value for independent living.

Depending on the stage of your kidney disease, your low sodium diet plan may limit your consumption of fluids that contain certain vitamins and minerals.

Ideas for Substituting Potassium:
Swap out bananas, spinach, or beans for apples, strawberries, or grapes
