Protect Your Kidneys: Why Reducing Salt Intake Matters on World Kidney Day

Did you know 85% of Dutch people consume too much salt daily? On World Kidney Day, the Kidney Foundation urges us to rethink our salt habits for better kidney health.

Hidden Risks
Salt lurks in countless foods as a seasoning, leading to excess intake without us realizing it. This raises blood pressure, heightening the risk of kidney damage, as backed by leading health experts.

Delicious Low-Salt Cookies
To show low-salt eating can taste great, the Kidney Foundation offers a kidney-shaped cookie baking kit. All proceeds directly support their vital work.

Get Involved
Order the €5 baking package from the Kidney Foundation website. It includes a sales display, so you can bake, sell, and contribute even more to kidney research and care.
