Diet is an integral part of managing chronic kidney disease and ensuring patients' overall health and quality of life. Because the kidneys can no longer filter and eliminate waste products and excess fluid, kidney diets are focused on maintaining adequate nutrition and keeping minerals and

electrolytes in balance. DaVita.com's Kidney Diet Tips blog provides tips on what to eat on the kidney diet along with links to tasty kidney-friendly recipes on www.davita.com/recipes. A DaVita renal dietitian posts tips and recipes on the site each week to help patients manage their special diet needs, while still enjoying foods they can eat.

This Valentine's Day DaVita dietitian, Sara Colman, offers kidney disease patients a menu for eating at home and also provides the following advice for those who want to celebrate Valentine's Day at a restaurant:

Make dinner reservations. A long wait and hunger contributes to less control over food choices.
Study the menu online before going to the restaurant. <
