– Cherries may well be the king of anti-inflammatory berries. One cup of cherries per day has been shown to decrease inflammation. That alone can be a great reason to include them in your renal diet.

Cherry fans across the world know there is no tastier snack than some fresh cherries. However, this versatile berry can also be made into a sauce that pairs spectacularly with beef, lamb or pork. Prefer your cherries juiced? You can juice them fresh at home or pick up a bottle at most grocery stores.

Strawberries also add fiber to your diet and is packed with vitamin C and manganese. Strawberries are another multi-tasking fruit providing heart protection, acting as an anti-cancer food, and providing anti-inflammatory defense.
