6:6:1 and 2:1:1 Nutrition principles inspired by balanced eating for better well-being and kidney health​

As we age, kidney function may naturally decline. Mindful nutrition therefore plays an essential role in helping reduce the risk of kidney disease and supporting long-term health.​

The 6:6:1 principle encourages mindful control of sugar, fat, and sodium intake helping reduce sweetness, oiliness, and saltiness in everyday meals.​

The 2:1:1 healthy plate promotes a well-balanced meal composition with the right proportion of:​

• Vegetables and fruits​
• Whole-grain carbohydrates​
• Quality protein​

By choosing fresh ingredients, reducing sodium intake, and avoiding processed foods, we can help support kidney health while enhancing overall quality of life.​ ​
