Triple Berry Recipe

Diet is crucial for kidney disease patients. What you eat can cause, prevent, or even help alleviate pain and symptoms. 

Most natural foods provide nutritional benefits, but some are considered superfoods. While there is no scientific definition of the term “superfood,” most consider it to be a food that has an unusually high amount of antioxidants, vitamins, or other nutrients.

Strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries are on the list of good fruit choices most Chronic Kidney Disease, and Dialysis patients can enjoy, and they are superfoods!

These three berries are tasty and nutrient-dense fruits that serve as a great source of Vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants.

Blueberries: Ranked #1 among fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables in antioxidant power, blueberries are a low-calorie source of fiber and Vitamin C. They are being studied for their potential to protect against cancer and heart disease and for possible brain health benefits.

Strawberries: Strawberries may be small in size, but they are big in benefits! This delicious red fruit is a powerhouse of vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber. The fiber and nutrients in strawberries have been associated with heart protection and anti-cancer and anti-inflammation properties.

Raspberries: Raspberries carry an extract that could help Chronic Kidney Disease patients conducting Dialysis reduce inflammation in their joints. Scientists at the University of Rhode Island found that those who had consumed 120mg of raspberry extract for 30 days typically showed less inflammation and cartilage damage, as well as a slower breakdown of their bones.
