Herbs and spices
Being a kidney patient, salt (being the main source of sodium) is to be taken in controlled amounts for keeping our kidneys working properly. But cutting down on your salt doesn’t have to mean bland, tasteless food.
🔸To all the kidney warriors; you can still savor your renal diet.
🔸One easy way by which you can add all the lost flavors, antioxidants and important vitamins and minerals is with Herbs and Spices.
🔸Dried spices come in both whole and ground forms, while herbs can be either fresh or dried.
🔸A pinch of any herbs or spices is enough to perk up the flavor of any dish.
🌟So cut back on salt for these kidney-friendly flavorful replacements.
📌Handy TIP
It is best to look for oils that are unrefined, cold (kacchi ghani) or wood pressed for the best nutrient quality. Avoid consuming ghee, butter, and coconut oil daily. Here, moderation is the key.
