DENVER, Jan. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- DaVita Kidney Care,
a division of DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. (NYSE: DVA) and a
leading provider of kidney care services, today announced its
recipe collection, "Game Day Favorites When You're on a Kidney
Diet," which allows kidney patients to enjoy football-inspired
dishes modified for their nutritional needs.
"Food is a huge part of any football party," said Sara Colman, RDN, CDE, manager for DaVita.com
nutrition. "These recipes make it easy for people with kidney
disease and their families to have delicious, healthy snacks while
cheering on their favorite teams."
A collection of more than 900 recipes can be found on
DaVita.com, and among those recipes are tailgating favorites such
as:
- Spicy Crunch and Munch Snack Mix
- Fiesta Roll Ups
- Buffalo Wings

DaVita.com also offers DaVita Diet Helper™, an online tool that
helps those with diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end
stage renal disease (ESRD) plan menus, make shopping lists and
track nutritional intake. Each person's nutritional needs are
different, but the main nutrients limited in kidney diets include
protein, phosphorus, potassium and sodium. The recipes offered on
DaVita.com aim to make it simple for individuals to stay in control
of their kidney health and nutrition.
In the home states of the two teams facing off in Super
Bowl XLIX®, DaVita Kidney Care has
31 dialysis centers in the state of Washington and a combined 45 centers
in six states that comprise New England. The game will be held
in Arizona, where DaVita Kidney Care has 41 dialysis centers.
An estimated 20 million U.S. adults have CKD, which can progress
to ESRD. Most are unaware of their condition, as the disease
is often symptomless until the kidneys fail. Groups at highest risk
for ESRD include those with diabetes or hypertension, as well as
older adults, African Americans, Hispanics and Native
Americans.
