Our kidneys are in charge of filtering blood, producing hormones, balancing minerals, and removing waste through urine.

When the kidneys become damaged, fluid can build up inside your body and waste can accumulate in the blood. Luckily, the combination of eating right and some from Assisted Living Homes can keep you safe from medical complications.

Don’t know how to start eating right? Rising Star Personal Care Home is here to offer up a few tips. Take a look:

• Choose food with less salt
  Your diet should contain 2,300 milligrams of salt each day so you can control your blood pressure.

• Eat the right amount of protein
  When your body uses protein, it produces waste that will help jump-start your kidneys. But make sure you’re getting the right types of protein such as fish, chicken, beans, and nuts.

• Choose food that is good for your heart
  Food like fish, beans, and lean cuts of meat are good for the heart. This will help keep fat from building up in your blood vessels, heart, and kidneys.

• Listen to your doctor
  Follow your doctor’s recommendation. If they prescribed you medication, make sure to take the right doses each time. If you’re forgetful, you can get Medication Assistance in Georgia.
