It’s important to remember that eating a kidney-friendly diet is all about balance your health. Your kidneys are usually responsible for maintaining the right balance of nutrients in your body.

There are some foods that people with this condition are commonly recommended to eat — and avoid. And it can be helpful for people with kidney disease to eat foods that are lower in potassium and phosphorus. Fruits having low potassium include apples, grapes, cranberries, and strawberries, and low-potassium vegetables to eat include radishes, cauliflower, onions, peppers, summer squash and lettuce. You may need to eat fewer fruits and vegetables like bananas, avocados, melons, prunes, potatoes and tomatoes, which are all higher in potassium and keeps you healthy.
