Healthy Diet May Help Slow Progression of Chronic Kidney Disease
According to an analysis of published studies, carried out by scientists from Bond University, Australia, a healthy diet connected to a 30% lower incidence of chronic kidney disease.
For this analysis, researchers included 18 studies with a total of 630,108 adults who were followed for 10.4 years on average. The healthy diet supposed a diet with the high content of vegetables, fruit, legumes, nuts, whole grains, fish, and low-fat dairy.
Dr. Jaimon Kelly, one of the authors of the study, says: “These results add to the accumulating evidence base supporting the potential benefit of adhering to a healthy dietary pattern — such as the Mediterranean, DASH diet, or National Dietary Guidelines — and the primary prevention of chronic conditions, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, cancer, and all-cause mortality.”
