ST. LOUIS, Oct. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- DaVita Kidney Care,
a division of DaVita Inc. (NYSE: DVA), a leading provider of kidney
care services in the United
States, celebrates National Food Day on Oct. 24 by
sharing its "Slow Cooker Recipes" cookbook, a collection of
kidney-friendly recipes that allows those on a kidney diet to have
a delicious meal waiting for them when they get home and reduce
time in the kitchen.
"We educate dialysis patients on recipes that can help them
maintain better kidney health, as diet and nutrition are critical
components of managing kidney disease," said Sara Colman, RDN, CDE and manager for DaVita.com
nutrition. "Creating dishes that taste great and represent seasonal
flavors is a wonderful way to help them steer towards a
kidney-friendly diet year-round."
This cookbook uses healthy ingredients that minimize potassium,
phosphorus and sodium while still incorporating popular fall
recipes the whole family can enjoy.
Additional recipes and kidney-friendly diet tips can also be
found on the DaVita Kidney Diet Tips blog at Blogs.Davita.com and

Moreover, those with kidney disease can take advantage of DaVita
Diet Helper™ –– an easy-to-use meal planning tool that tracks
phosphorus, potassium and sodium levels. It also features more than
1,000 pre-existing recipes that are kidney-and
diabetes-friendly.
More than 31 million Americans have kidney disease, which can
progress to end stage renal disease. Most are unaware of their
condition, as the disease is often symptomless until its late
stages. Individuals at higher risk for kidney disease include those
with diabetes or hypertension, as well as adults age 65 and older,
African Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans.
