DaVita Inc. (NYSE: DVA), a leading provider of kidney care
services that is committed to improving the quality of life for
those diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD), offers kidney
patients a chance to enjoy delicious Super Bowl® Sunday treats with
kidney-friendly recipes. Recipes are available online on DaVita’s
special occasion diet and nutrition page.
While celebrations and party food temptations can be difficult
for anyone following a special diet, they pose an even greater
challenge for those with CKD. CKD patients must modify their
protein, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and fluid intake, which can
be complicated to monitor during snack-filled events such as Super
Bowl parties.
“Super Bowl Sunday is very much about the food,” said DaVita
Dietitian Sara Colman. “These Super Bowl recipes are designed to
meet the unique dietary and nutritional needs of CKD patients and
are tasty enough for everyone to enjoy.”
DaVita® offers kidney patients recipes that are
protein-modified, low-phosphorus, low-potassium and low-sodium.
Kidney-friendly football favorites include Hot Crab Dip; Pineapple,
Pork and Pepper Pizza; Artichoke Relish on Pita Bread; and
Honey-Maple Snack Mix.
To wash down those tasty snacks, DaVita dietitians recommend
kidney-friendly beverages such as 7UP®, Sprite®, ginger ale or
Barq’s® root beer. Coffee and tea are also good choices. Avoid
beer, however, as it is high in phosphorus.
