2. Turmeric
If you’re a fan of Asian cuisine, you’ve likely encountered turmeric.
The active component in turmeric is curcumin, which decreases the impact of inflammatory molecules and enzymes that can lead to chronic kidney disease.
Curcumin also helps ease the burden on your kidneys by inhibiting the growth and spread of harmful microbes.
However, for individuals with kidney disease, caution is advised. Turmeric contains a notable amount of potassium, and since potassium plays a role in regulating the body’s fluid levels alongside sodium, those with kidney issues often need to limit potassium intake to maintain kidney balance.
