Tips for Kidney Friendly Eating EP6
Description
The kidneys are responsible for excreting and getting rid of a lot of the waste products that come through the body, and a lot of these waste products come from the food we eat. So it’s important that we consume foods that are friendly to our kidneys and easy for the body to digest and breakdown, especially for those with diseases like IgAN.
To give us very practical tips to eating better for our kidneys. Schusterman joined us to talk about all things nutrition.
