Heart-protective fats from fish, seeds, and plants
Omega-3 fatty acids fight inflammation, support heart health, and may help protect kidney function. Because cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in CKD — not kidney failure itself — omega-rich proteins earn their place on the plate. These recipes center salmon, mackerel, sardines, trout, and plant-based omega sources, prepared with kidney-aware seasoning.
