Healthy eating tips for a well-rounded diet

Maintaining a healthy diet is a common goal for people throughout the year. For some, eating well is about losing weight. For others, it’s critical for survival, such as for those who suffer from kidney failure. No matter what your personal reason, a few simple tips can help you eat tasty, nutritious meals that will help you live well.

Without healthy kidneys, dialysis patients depend on regular treatments to remove waste products from their blood. And for those treatments to be effective, these patients must limit their intake of foods containing salt, potassium, phosphorus and saturated fats, including many foods generally considered healthy, such as oranges, tomatoes, beans and dairy products.

But kidney failure doesn’t mean people can’t continue to enjoy delicious meals with their families and friends. Fresenius Medical Care North America (FMCNA) and Chef Aaron McCargo Jr., star of Food Network’s “Big Daddy’s House,” are helping people with kidney failure learn to use flavorful spices and fresh ingredients to create meals for dialysis patients that are healthy, flavorful and affordable. FMCNA, the nation’s leading network of dialysis facilities, has partnered with McCargo to develop a variety of dialysis-friendly recipes, which are available at FMCNA’s online recipe center.

To ring in 2013, Chef McCargo and FMCNA are sharing a recipe for “New You” Jumbo Shrimp Scampi, as well as tips for healthy, enjoyable eating. So whether you’re on dialysis or just looking to add some nutritious new recipes to your diet, the new year is the perfect time to get started.

Here are five tips to help dialysis patients – and anyone else interested in improving their diet – make healthy, great tasting meals part of their daily routine:

* Be creative and save a buck. Look for recipes that you can turn into a whole new leftover meal (e.g., use leftover beef tacos to make a quesadilla, stew or a lettuce wrap).

* Mix it up. Eat a wide variety of healthy foods to keep your diet exciting.

* Use spices, not salt. Leave out salty ingredients, and add fresh or dried herbs and spices to create more bold flavors.

* Skip the gadgets. Embrace one-pot cooking and limit your utensils to save time on cleaning dishes.

* Ask an expert. If you have kidney disease or another chronic disease, work with a dietitian to develop a meal plan.

For all of Chef McCargo’s dialysis-friendly recipes, as well as fitness tips, videos and other information about staying active and maintaining a healthy diet on dialysis, visit www.ultracare-dialysis.com. To find dialysis services near you, call toll free at 1-888-325-5175.
