Everyone can't avoid paying New Year's greetings everywhere since the beginning of the Chinese New Year. When visiting someone else's house, the host will warmly invite everyone to have some snacks. When eating, they will worry about their health, and when not eating, they will look greedy. Don't worry, Xiaohuang will analyze the ingredients of various snacks for everyone. Kidney friends will decide what to eat based on their physical condition.
These snacks can be eaten
- Fruit -
What is the best snack? Of course it's fruit! There are a wide variety of fruits with a rich taste, rich in vitamins and dietary fiber. Kidney friends are recommended to consume 200g per day to supplement their body's needs.
However, some kidney friends may experience high blood potassium, so it is necessary to avoid eating fruits with high potassium content. Generally speaking, fruits with less water content have higher potassium content, such as bananas and avocados.
Some kidney friends may experience decreased or even no urine. When eating fruits with high water content, it is necessary to include this part of water in the daily drinking water consumption, such as watermelon and cantaloupe.
But there is one fruit that kidney friends must avoid eating, which is carambola. Caramboxins contain a neurotoxin called "Caramboxin" that must be metabolized by the kidneys to be excreted from the body. Problems with kidney function in kidney friends can easily lead to their accumulation in the body, leading to poisoning. Therefore, all kidney friends should avoid eating caramboxins.
In addition, there is a fruit called grapefruit (also known as grapefruit) that can affect the efficacy of medicine and delay treatment, so kidney friends must avoid eating grapefruit when taking medicine.
In addition, there are many additives for dried fruit, and fresh fruit juice will lose some nutrients, so it is recommended that everyone try to eat fresh fruit.
If kidney friends do not experience the above situations, it is completely okay to avoid eating carambola, not eating grapefruit when taking medicine, and eating 200g of fruit every day. Remember, the best snack is fruit!
These snacks can be eaten appropriately
- Cakes, cookies, candy -
Cake is a traditional snack in China, mainly composed of flour, edible oil, eggs, white sugar, salt, and so on. The raw materials of biscuits are similar to those of cakes. They are snacks with high fat, high energy, and high non high-quality protein content, which are not suitable for kidney friends to consume in large quantities.
The main ingredient of candy is various monosaccharides. The Chinese Nutrition Society recommends that you consume no more than 25g of monosaccharides per day, so you should try not to add white sugar to your dishes after eating candy.
If kidney friends experience hyperglycemia, try not to eat such snacks to prevent sudden increases in blood sugar, which is not conducive to controlling the stability of blood sugar.
Fortunately, today's cakes, cookies, and candies are relatively small in size, and when faced with enthusiastic hosts, people can't resist or really want to eat them. Eating one piece or packet is not a problem.
- Nuts -
Nuts may be the favorite snack eaten by Chinese people during the New Year, ranging from melon seeds that have been eaten for hundreds of years to walnuts, walnuts, almonds, pistachios, and magnolia nuts that have recently become popular throughout the country. They are almost standard accessories for every household's New Year products.
However, kidney friends are indeed not suitable for overeating nuts, which contain a large amount of oil and non high-quality protein. In addition, excessive salt is also added to nuts during the frying process to increase their aroma, which is not conducive to protecting the health of heart, brain, and blood vessels and reducing the burden on the kidneys.
"But nuts are not something you can't eat at all. As long as your blood lipids and blood pressure are normal, it's not a problem to eat one or two nuts at a time, as long as you eat one or two melon seeds at a time.".
Try not to eat these snacks
- Candied fruit -
Candied fruit is a type of snack that adults and children particularly enjoy, including various plums, dates, and so on. It is sweet and sour, and can hardly stop eating it.
Candied fruit contains a variety of food additives, the most important of which is simple sugar, which is not suitable for kidney friends with diabetes.
You may not expect that preserves contain a large amount of sodium salts. Although the preserves are not salty at all, in order to ensure the taste, a large amount of salt is added to highlight the sweetness of the preserves. In addition, due to the addition of a large amount of food additives, it is difficult for us to determine whether the raw materials used to make candied fruit are fresh. Many illegal manufacturers use some moldy raw materials to make candied fruit in order to reduce costs, which can easily lead to poisoning after ingestion.
Given the excessive health risks associated with eating preserved fruits, it is recommended that kidney friends avoid eating preserved fruits during the Spring Festival.
- pickled products -
Pickled products are also a popular snack among Chinese people, including dried beef, dried pork, dried fish, bacon, sausages, and other types, which adults and children love to eat. In addition to their rich protein content, these pickled products also have an excessive amount of salt added during the production process, which has a high sodium content and is not conducive to maintaining blood pressure stability.
At the same time, some illegal manufacturers spray some pesticides to prevent pickled products from being eaten by insects. "These insecticides basically need to be excreted from the body by the kidneys, and healthy people are fine. Kidney friends can easily increase the burden on the kidneys and affect the treatment of the disease once ingested by mistake.".
