Eating Tips for Cruises

Cruises can be fun, but a bit like a floating Las Vegas as far as eating goes. Buffet-style food is often available from morning until night, even 24 hours a day. And temptation is all around, with no portion control.

To combat this situation, there are several aspects you should aware:

1.Select from the healthy areas of the buffet where you’ll find fruits, vegetables and salads. Most fruit and vegetable options are either low-protein or protein-free. If you are on a low-potassium diet, select only the fruits and vegetables you know are low in potassium, and keep serving sizes moderate.

2.Include a good protein source with each meal, but try to avoid items with breading or sauces that may be salty.

3.When you book your cruise, let them know your dietary needs. Many cruise lines are willing to prepare foods for special needs. Low-sodium meals may be available.

4.Pack your own kidney-friendly snacks to eat between meals or ask for items you know are kidney-friendly.

If you are in cruises, try your best to arrange your diet instead of getting into the temptation. If you are eager to take the foods they provide and finally eat them, you should be careful for your lesion in case of aggravation.
