As the hot summer approaches, are kidney disease patients thinking about what foods they can eat that are beneficial for their condition? But many patients have this awareness, but they don't know how to do it.
As a clinical dietitian, I am naturally duty bound to help everyone improve their condition in terms of diet. Today, let's take a look at the benefits that summer kidney disease patients can enjoy.
Grapes
Supplementing qi and blood, strengthening muscles and bones, and facilitating urination. There are approximately seven to eight types of sugars and acids in grapes, such as glucose, fructose, sucrose, xylose, tartaric acid, citric acid, malic acid, ascorbic acid, etc. In addition, the amount of calcium and iron is also considerable. Using grapes to mash juice, fry soup, or soak in wine, persistently taking it, can treat nephritis and edema.
Pineapple
Enzymes that can digest and dissolve meat proteins have the function of aiding digestion and absorption. Pineapple is rich in sugars, acids, enzymes, and various vitamins (with more vitamin C). Eating pineapple regularly and appropriately has preventive and therapeutic effects on diseases such as nephritis and hypertension.
Watermelon
The water content is as high as about 94%, which is a natural nutritional juice that contains various nutrients except for fat. It is known as "Natural White Tiger Soup". Modern pharmacological research has proven that watermelon has four effects on patients with nephritis, liver cirrhosis, and heart disease: increasing nutrition, promoting appetite, aiding digestion, and diuresis. It has the effect of reducing blood pressure.
Oats
Oats can make people feel fuller and have long-lasting energy, and are rich in nutrients. They also contain high molecular carbohydrates and dietary fiber. The unique water-soluble fiber can continuously and stably provide energy, and can bring abundant energy throughout the day. It can increase gastrointestinal peristalsis, facilitate defecation, and alleviate toxin retention in the body. For patients with kidney disease, maintaining unobstructed bowel movements is one of the best detoxification methods.
Here are four recommended foods for everyone. Patients with nephritis can use them in moderation, while those with uremia should remember not to consume too much water.
