Mushroom is a delicious food, known as the "spirit of the forest". It has been a coveted delicacy on the dining table, ranging from the common mushrooms, mushrooms, golden needle mushrooms, and tremella to the precious red mushrooms and matsutake. However, many people on the internet are saying that mushroom contains high potassium and high purine content. Let's take a specific look at their content:
Calculated per 100 grams of edible portion
Conclusion:
From the nutritional composition table of some mushrooms above, we can see that mushrooms do have certain disadvantages for kidney friends. In addition to potassium and purine issues, mushrooms also contain a large amount of non high-quality protein. Eating too much will generate nitrogen containing waste, increasing the burden on the kidneys.
However, mushrooms also have many benefits, such as rich vitamins and dietary fiber, which can prevent vitamin deficiency and improve gastrointestinal function.
In addition, mushrooms contain choline, which can help dilate blood vessels after synthesizing acetylcholine in the body, and have a certain effect on kidney friends who need to stabilize blood pressure.
Mushrooms also contain a variety of beneficial phytochemicals (such as lentinan, ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide, etc.) that can effectively improve human immunity.
How do kidney friends scientifically eat mushrooms?
Kidney friends should try to choose varieties with low potassium content when eating mushrooms, such as lentinus edodes, agaric, and Tricholoma matsutake, which contain less than 100mg of potassium per 100g. The daily consumption should not exceed 200g;
2. Potassium ions and purines are soluble in water. Kidney friends should blanch before eating mushrooms to remove most of the potassium and purines;
"If a kidney friend who has not undergone dialysis has severe edema or symptoms of anuria, oliguria, or high blood potassium, it is best not to consume mushrooms, but to wait until the condition stabilizes before considering consumption;";
Mushrooms can enhance human immunity, so they should not be consumed by patients after kidney transplantation;
Canned mushrooms often contain excessive sodium and contain a large amount of preservatives, so kidney friends should try to choose fresh mushrooms instead of canned mushroom products.
Mushrooms are not only delicious, but also have many benefits for the human body. Although there are some characteristics that are not conducive to the treatment of diseases by kidney friends, scientific consumption can allow us to fully utilize the advantages of mushrooms and minimize the adverse effects of mushrooms.
