Summary : This figure illustrates what a healthy kidney diet looks like by showing recommended proportions of food groups on different types of serving vessels or bases (plate, rice bowl, tortilla, injera, banana leaf). diagram: # Serving Vessels : • Your plate (with fork and knife) • Your rice bowl (with chopsticks) • Your tortilla • Your injera • Your banana leaf # Food Group Proportions : • Each vessel/base is divided into three sections: – Fruit and vegetables (approximately half the area) – Protein: animal or plant (approximately one quarter) – Whole grains / starchy vegetables (approximately one quarter) # Section Labels : • Fruit and vegetables • Protein: animal or plant • Whole grains / starchy vegetables # Visual Encoding : • All vessels/bases are shown as circles except the banana leaf, which is rectangular. • Each section is visually separated by lines. • The utensils (fork/knife, chopsticks) are shown next to the plate and rice bowl, respectively. # Caption Text : • Figure 15 | What does a healthy kidney diet look like? Analysis : • The figure communicates that regardless of the serving vessel or cultural food base, a healthy kidney diet should consist of roughly half fruit and vegetables, with the remaining half split between protein and whole grains/starchy vegetables. This visual standardisation supports dietary guidance across diverse eating traditions.

Summary : This image is an illustration of a healthy eating plate, emphasizing the increase of certain food groups for a balanced diet. illustration: Main Message : • The image shows a round plate filled with a variety of foods, primarily vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, and herbs. • A large green arrow points to the plate, accompanied by the text: "Increase: vegetables, fruits, whole-grains, beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, herbs, spices and water". Scene Overview : • The plate is visually divided into sections, each containing different plant-based foods such as leafy greens, tomatoes, berries, grains, nuts, and legumes. • The foods are presented in bowls and loose arrangements, with vibrant colors (greens, reds, yellows, browns) dominating the palette. • The background is white, and the plate is bordered with a wooden rim. Technical Details : • No scale bar or magnification is present. • The only on-image text is the dietary recommendation. • The illustration is clear, with high contrast and realistic food depictions. Spatial Relationships : • The arrow and text are positioned to the left of the plate, directing attention to the food selection. • Foods are evenly distributed around the plate, with no single food group dominating the visual space. Analysis : • The illustration visually reinforces the recommendation to increase intake of plant-based foods and water for a healthy diet. • The diversity of foods shown suggests variety and balance, with an emphasis on minimally processed, whole foods. • The absence of animal products or processed foods highlights a plant-forward dietary pattern.
