Blueberries?

I just got labs done, and while I was gone, my granddaughter put away my grocery order. She was surprised by how many blueberries I had ordered, fresh and frozen. My labs were pretty good, creatinine .92, eGFR over 60, up from the 50s a few years ago. I wondered whether anybody else eats blueberries or other dark berries as a staple of their diet. Maybe they are of special benefit to the kidneys?

Yes, blueberries have antioxidant properties and anti-inflammatory properties also. Good to hear your egfr up from before.🙏I eat fresh, organic when I can find them. Not on my daily diet though, unfortunately.

Blueberries and Strawberries are great Kidney Fruits...some fruits can be very high in Potassium...but these two are not and have great anti toxins qualities...they are usually welcome on most Kidney Diets
