Please note: This website is designed primarily for kidney-friendly recipes, but it also includes a wide range of low-sodium options that can support individuals managing heart failure. It’s important to understand that kidney-friendly diets often limit protein intake to protect kidney function. However, for those with heart failure, maintaining adequate protein is essential for muscle strength and overall health.
