3. Root Vegetables

You may have heard experts tell you to “eat the rainbow,” and root vegetables are one way to do that. Root vegetables, such as onions, carrots, garlic, sweet potatoes, and potatoes for example, are good for everyone because they’re high in fiber, full of antioxidants, and can keep you full for long periods of time. They are also low in calories, while providing essential nutrients like vitamins C, A, K, E and many B vitamins, as well as iron, potassium, and manganese. One thing to look out for though, is those with extremely high levels of potassium since people with kidney disease should watch out for the amount of potassium they consume on a daily basis since their kidneys lack the ability to remove excess amounts of potassium from the body.
