With Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up soon, many patients on dialysis experience the “holiday jitters” especially related to traveling and eating out. Packing meals from home may be impractical on vacations. As a result, patients will most likely eat at restaurants, or even fast food joints when food options are limited.
It is imperative to educate patients on kidney-friendly eating out strategies while traveling. Consuming a high-salt and high-phosphorus diet can contribute to increased blood pressure, swelling and fluid retention, heart problems, as well as long-term bone disease.
Help your patients navigate eating out with greater confidence using our “Kidney-Friendly Fast Food Guide” two page handout. Start your discussion with our practical tips and food substitution suggestions. With plenty of visuals, your patients will find this handout fun to read and easy to understand.
We also provide space for individualized planning and goal setting between you and your patients. As always, this is available in Spanish and English.
