In such cases, a K-restricted diet can help reduce the risk of hyperkalemia and, consequently, cardiac arrhythmias and mortality. A diet rich in vegetables, greens, and fruits is essential for the prevention of chronic diseases and plays a vital role in the nutritional therapy of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Factors such as the method of heat transfer, temperature intensity, duration of the process, and the cooking medium used can cause changes in the chemical, physical, and nutritional characteristics of food. Sensory appeal should not be overlooked in favor of therapy alone; recovery efforts must also consider the importance of offering pleasure in the act of eating.
