AAKP DEVELOPS NUTRITION ELECTRONIC NEWSLETTER

02/28/2007


The American Association of Kidney Patients (AAKP) announced today it has developed a new nutrition electronic newsletter. AAKP Diet Tips & Bits is a free electronic newsletter that will feature recipes, news and nutrition information.
 
AAKP recognizes a proper renal diet is a challenge for kidney patients of all modalities.
AAKP Diet Tips & Bits will provide patients with practical ideas that will enable them to properly manage their eating habits. Proper nutrition helps patients feel well and avoid problems linked to bad nutrition such as fluid overload, high potassium levels and weight gain. AAKP encourages all kidney patients to take action and take control of their health.

"One of AAKP's objectives is to help kidney patients be the leader of their healthcare team," says AAKP CEO/Executive Director Kris Robinson. "I know personally how difficult the renal diet can be and look forward to sharing tips, recipes and nutrition information with fellow patients."
