Five Foods You Should Be Eating If You Have Kidney Disease



Five Foods You Should Be Eating If You Have Kidney Disease

This week’s video is inspired by a comment I got on here where someone told me “You tell me what I shouldn’t eat for kidney disease, so what should I eat?”. That is one thing I really want to do, as a kidney doctor and as the Cooking Doc, is tell you about good, healthy foods to incorporate into your diet.

So today we are going to go over five foods that are really good for your overall health and safe for those with kidney disease. Watch now and see what to add to your shopping list.

Working as a kidney doctor, I found that my patients were often unaware of just how important diet and lifestyle were and how often they felt unsupported by generic advice to “eat healthy”. The home cook in me hated hearing this, so I set out to find a better way.

I began to combine my medical training and love of food, making videos of simple recipes that were based on science and packed with flavor. Instead of just saying “eat healthy” to my patients, I could give them the resources they needed to make a real difference in their health.

Kidney doctor, passionate home cook, and YouTube sensation Dr Blake Shusterman empowers people to proactively manage their health by stepping into the kitchen. The author of several cookbooks with over 100,000 YouTube subscribers, The Cooking Doc® believes anyone, at any age can transform their health with small changes that make a big difference. Based on science and packed with flavor, Dr. Blake’s simple recipes have inspired home cooks everywhere to change their diet, retrain their taste buds, and transform their health.

    Good afternoon, Thank you very much for sharing this information. I didn’t know about peas. I will be buying them when I go food shopping,

  7. @maremacd

    Interesting. I just read that you shouldn’t feed too many green peas to your dog because they’re bad for their kidneys because they have purines.

    Not only can you find frozen riced cauliflower but it is also available in packets which you can eat at room temperature (you can also heat it up for 1 1/2 minutes in the microwave). Great for road trips and power outages. Or if it's too hot to cook.
    I like riced cauliflower. I like to add other vegetables to it. Then I add a serving of canned sardines packed in olive oil, including the oil. Salmon, mackerel, and tuna are also good.

    Another good video! I really don’t like any fish, but I am trying to add it to my diet. Salmon has such a strong flavor, though. Are there any milder tasting fish varieties that would give me similar health benefits?

  15. @rowbear1964

    Wow! You explain things simply with style. We eliminated salmon after the local kidney dietician told us to. Six years ago!!!! We doubted much of what she said because her office was filled with a food exhibit featuring items whose labels we had not seen in 25 years when we went organic. Will look for your book and watch more of your videos. Thank you!!!!!

    That's it Dr Blake !!! More solutions based….. not only trouble shooting, which is very important. Thank you and Happy low sodium Thanksgiving ! 🦃

    Great ideas, but what if you need potassium while taking diuretics for elevated blood pressure, PLUS have GI issues that strictly limit intake of any produce. Then what do you eat when you're told you have kidney disease???

  23. @catirerubio

    Green peas good for a ckd diet? "In general, green peas are considered relatively high in potassium and phosphorus, two minerals that individuals with CKD often need to monitor closely, especially as the condition progresses. High levels of potassium and phosphorus can be harmful to individuals with impaired kidney function because their kidneys may not effectively filter these minerals from the bloodstream." Your thoughts, sir?
