How to Prepare These Soups
- Use minimal salt and seasonings: Excessive salt can strain the kidneys. Use natural seasonings like locust beans (iru) and fresh herbs.
- Reduce oil content: Palm oil is traditionally used in most soups, but using less oil or healthier alternatives can be better for kidney health.
- Choose lean protein: Instead of red meat, go for fish, snails, or lean poultry to reduce the risk of kidney strain.
- Pair with healthy swallows: Instead of high-carbohydrate swallows like eba (garri), try fibre-rich options like oat swallow or unripe plantain swallow for better digestion and kidney function.
