"Super Foods" on the cheap

Lacy, blogger of Laughing Lemon Pie, shares some great superfoods that are also relatively inexpensive. Typically, foods are are okay for transplant patients - unless phosphorous levels are high or blood pressure levels or something. And dialysis patients have to watch for potassium levels and other things.

So before you jump all over these so-called 'superfoods' in an effort to boost your health, ensure that these foods are not going to make your blood levels go crazy.

Cheers!

BUDGET SUPERFOODS

Check out this great blog for some terrifically healthy foods that you can buy even on a tight budget. As I've mentioned, for us it can be difficult to work in organic foods on our budget. Not to mention working in healthy foods in general in place of what I am accustomed to eating. By, by Kraft macaroni and dinners, even for my darling Edan (that has some terrible stuff in it!!!) but hello (for us, for now) Annie's macaroni dinners, at least!

But I digress... check out this handy dandy image with some great foods on it!

The National Kidney Foundation has encouraging news for people awaiting transplantation as well as for those currently on life-saving immuno-suppressant drugs. Check it out! 

The best part is that it's from '09, so while they say it's a 10-year plan, this means we/they should already be taking steps toward it!
