Scaleless fish in the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine

According to the Chinese medicine book "Medicinal Property Test", scaleless fish is not only high in cholesterol, but also belongs to the category of "hairy" in Chinese medicine, so it is not suitable for patients with kidney disease.

"Hair products" refers to foods that are rich in nutrition or irritating, and are particularly prone to induce certain diseases (especially old and persistent diseases) or aggravate existing diseases. For patients with nephropathy, it is not suitable for allergic diseases (such as dermatosis and allergic purple fatigue).

suggestion

Although the scale-free fish is high in cholesterol, potassium and phosphorus, the phosphorus-free fish also has many advantages, such as high-quality protein and rich vitamins and trace elements (calcium, magnesium, selenium, iodine and zinc). ).

But we must also make it clear that nothing is absolute. Not eating does not mean keeping your mouth shut: compared with patients with stable kidney disease, it is a good choice to eat some scallion fish in moderation every week. It can effectively diversify the sources of high-quality protein, instead of just getting enough high-quality protein from a single food.
