Nutrition

KFNWO recognizes the importance of taking preventative measures to combat the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in our community. Research has shown that regular exercise and a healthy diet can be effective tools for preventing obesity, which is a leading cause of type 2 diabetes, and a contributing factor to chronic kidney disease. However, we also understand that adhering to dietary suggestions can be challenging due to factors such as food accessibility, income, access to cooking equipment, language, access to technology, and cultural dietary preferences. Therefore, we have compiled a list of resources that consider these factors.
