A Kidney Healthy Dish

Here's a favourite autumn dish that packs plenty of quality protein and healthy carbohydrates for days when you're craving a warm and replenishing meal. It's equally good for preparing your body for vigorous activity the next day, or to help replace glycogen and electrolyte stores after a physically demanding day.
Sweet potatoes are rich in a number of micronutrients, the most prominent of which are vitamin C and beta-carotene; both are powerful antioxidants that can decrease your risk of developing diabetes and colon cancer.
If you eat enough healthy fats, your body can convert some of the beta-carotene found in sweet potatoes into vitamin A, which supports optimal immune system strength, a healthy digestive tract lining, optimal vision, and healthy skin.
Sweet potatoes are also abundant in manganese, copper, dietary fiber, vitamin B6, potassium, and iron.
Tomatoes are also rich in naturally occurring vitamin C and carotenoids. They're also abundant in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that can help neutralize excess free radicals throughout your body.
Chickpeas - sometimes called garbanzo beans - provide substantial amounts of folate, manganese, tryptophan, copper, iron, and of course, healthy protein.

If you have kidney disease, it's important that you consult a renal dietitian and follow a kidney diet.
