My daily exercise routine consists of 30 minutes on the bike or treadmill followed by several resistance weight machines for upper, mid and lower body. I do these exercises at a brisk pace because of want to keep my heart strong as well as maximizing my blood flow (this is very important for CKD). I typically drink 1.5L of water per day, which my doc feels is adequate. As are as my diet I eat a low sodium, low potassium diet, no phosphorous (no soda) diet. Breakfast typically consists of a cereal that is low sodium, low sugar, high in oats and grains like the Kasha brand along with a piece of fruit. Lunch is typically a piece of fruit and perhaps a hard boiled egg, and dinner is typically something with high quality protein like salad, fish or poultry/turkey. Snacks typically consists of fruit, nuts (often raw or blanched with no salt), yogurt chips. The major element to a beneficial diet is to minimize foods that are high in preservatives. To that end I shop at an all natural store, like Sprouts, and cook most of my own food. I NEVER go to fast food joints any more. Not only has this helped to slow my CKD progression, but has allowed me to keep my weight down. Hope this helps! Before making any diet changes I suggest meeting with both your nephroligist or primary doc and a renal dietician to ensure a diet plan that works for you and support total health.
