I guess I'm pretty fortunate as we eat ALL of these recommended foods every week. Love 'Kimchee-buta,' (sliced pork with Kimchee, gochujang, garlic and ginger. 5 minutes to make and healthy to eat!)

Olives with breakfast every morning, 

Saurkraut with lunch 2-3 times a week, 

Raspberries and Greek yogurt for dessert at dinner once or twice a week, 

avocados with lunch 2-3 times a week,

pumpkin seeds as snacks,

Asparagus with Shrimp at least once a week.

 

Hell, I just might live forever!  🙂

<removed> meters on Lazada and Shopee are great for testing water quality.

But if the glass contains red wine, beer, or anything other than clear water, the reading won’t be reliable or meaningful.

These meters are designed to measure inorganic dissolved solids in water, not complex liquids like alcohol or beverages with lots of organic compounds.

 

Ah, yes—onions! They definitely deserve their spotlight, especially for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Onions do make you cry—but that’s part of their charm and power.

Tears are a small price to pay for all the goodness onions bring.

I can buy it to eat at home in Rimping, Tops, and several other shops. I have it served at lunch in restaurants. Obviously, the German buffet restaurant offers it, as do a few other restaurants. 
But if you can’t find it, it’s certainly easy enough to make, even in a one-room apartment with no kitchen. Here’s how:

Cut and shred a round cabbage. Sprinkle with 2-3 tablespoons of non-iodized salt. Put in a big jar with a spoonful of black peppercorns and a spoonful of coriander seeds. Put in a cool place. Eat in 3-4 day or longer (You can skip the peppercorns and coriander if you wish. Salt alone will saur your kraut. 
 

Most folks dont know this, but sauerkraut was one of the main food supplies during the American Civil War on both sides sides!

Not cheap though. I'll stick to natural yoghurt from makro

No Tops or Rimping in my neck of the woods.

Non-iodized salt ? Why ?

 

I think that is rotten cabbage after a few days and you know how terrible rotten cabbage stinks.
