Micronutrients & recovery

Higher dietary intake of vegetables and potassium is associated with a significantly decreased odds of developing incident chronic kidney disease (CKD).

If you do not have diagnosed kidney disease, increasing your intake of vegetables and potassium-rich foods is a proven way to lower your risk of developing kidney disease later in life. Focus on whole food sources like vegetables rather than supplements, as the study highlights dietary patterns. This is a primary prevention strategy, not a treatment for existing kidney damage.
