3) Garlic
– Garlic helps reduce cellular inflammation, lower cholesterol, boost circulating stem cells and even prevent plaque buildup on teeth. Keeping inflammation to a minimum makes a world of difference regarding kidney disease and diet and a broad range of other illnesses. Since many people impacted by kidney disease also struggle with cardiovascular problems, adding garlic into your diet can help improve circulatory system function. Garlic is available virtually everywhere and comes fresh in heads (bulbs), as an oil, minced in jars, or dried into a powder. You can add garlic to a variety of foods and recipes. Roasted garlic spreads on wheat toast or bagels are another great way to get compliments from your family and friends.
4) Apples
– The health benefits of apples have been so well known for a long time time, and have been ingrained into our minds via the “apple a day kept the doctor away” rhyme which was written centuries ago. Apples can fight cholesterol and the fiber inside them can be used as preventative measures for constipation and to reduce the risk of developing heart disease or cancer. Depending on the variety of apple they can be eaten raw, baked, stewed, sauced, or juiced.
