Written by Tavishi Dogra | Updated : November 2, 2024 12:02 PM IST As the festive season approaches, bringing families together with joy, cheer, and festive gatherings, everyone looks forward to indulging in sweets and delicacies. But, for those who have Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), these occasions come with specific diet considerations. The festive treats consumed traditionally in India, such as preserved foods, often contain high levels of sodium, potassium, and phosphorus, which can be particularly harmful to kidney patients. Nevertheless, individuals suffering from CKD can still be active participants in the enjoyment by following a carefully curated, restricted diet. People with CKD struggle to maintain healthy levels of sodium, potassium, and phosphorus in their bodies, posing a risk. Flavour enhancers, such as salt, typically found in considerable quantities in savoury festive foods harm the kidneys. Potatoes, bananas, and lentils, which are staple meals in Indian families, can produce an infusion of potassium into the body, resulting in hyperkalemia, primarily manifested in heart difficulties. Magnesium, abundant in sweet breads, rice dishes, milk-based desserts, almonds, cocoa, and processed foods, also affects bones and aggravates kidney disease when consumed in excess. A recent study showed that higher potassium intake is considered protective for cardiovascular health in the general population. While festivals are a time to indulge in scrumptious delicacies, moderation is crucial, especially for those with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) .
