There are many reasons for the high prevalence of chronic kidney disease, among which unreasonable eating habits often act as accomplices of kidney disease and uremia intentionally or unintentionally. If we continue to keep this eating habit, our kidneys may be lost.

In order to protect our kidneys, the following five foods should be eaten as little as possible or not.

1. Salted fish and bacon

The World Health Organization has clearly pointed out that salted fish, bacon and other preserved foods are listed as 1 carcinogens, which increases the risk of cancer, especially nasopharyngeal carcinoma and gastric cancer. The 1 carcinogen mentioned here, that is, the evidence that causes cancer in humans, is very clear. These substances do cause cancer. Of course, eating once won't cause cancer. And our friends with kidney disease can't eat it. The reason why we can't eat it is not only cancer, but also the increase and/or aggravation of blood pressure and edema, thus aggravating the condition.

2. Salty snacks such as salted melon seeds and dried plums.

The salt content of a small bag of salted melon seeds is about 22g. The salt content of 10 preserved plum (about 35g, the edible part is 14g) is 3.4-4.2g, and the salt content of 100g preserved apricot and other preserved fruits is about 2.2-2.6g There are other kinds of snacks, most of which are "high salt value" foods. Some snacks may taste very sweet and mistakenly think that the salt is not high, but they are definitely "high salt value" snacks. If you eat these snacks regularly, it will inevitably lead to excessive salt intake, which will affect or aggravate blood pressure, thus becoming an accomplice to kidney disease and uremia.

3. Sauce foods such as Chili sauce and bean paste

These are also one of the foods that many families can enjoy at the table. Just from the taste, we can know that they contain a lot of salt Many people put some sauce when cooking, which inadvertently increases the salt in the dish. When cooking, salt has been added. If you add a few spoonfuls of ketchup, Chili sauce or bean paste, the salt will seriously exceed the standard. Because the salt content of a spoonful of tomato sauce is1.0-2.0g, these sauced foods are definitely "high salt value" foods. This food is also an accomplice to kidney disease and uremia.

4. Processed foods containing trans fatty acids

Foods containing trans fatty acids mainly come from processed foods, among which trans fatty acids are mainly produced in the hydrogenation and refining of vegetable oils. These processed foods containing trans fatty acids include vegetable cream, potato chips, salad dressing, some biscuits, cakes, some bread, biscuits, ice cream, French fries and instant noodle soup. There will be more western-style fast food such as French fries and fried chicken legs. These foods mainly use partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. Many processed foods contain very high trans fatty acids, such as margarine (7. 1% ~ 17.7%) and shortening (10.3%). Eating foods containing trans fatty acids often is very harmful. The greatest harm of trans fatty acids to human body is to cause cardiovascular diseases, including elevated blood lipids, elevated blood viscosity, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, etc. , but also inhibit the growth and development of babies, and even cause intestinal cancer. The impact on patients with kidney disease is mainly manifested in increasing the risk of death of chronic kidney disease.

5. Protein powder health products

Many friends like to eat health food, especially protein powder health care products. Although protein is an essential nutrient for human body, it is beneficial for malnourished people to eat some nutritional products containing protein powder. And our friends with kidney disease, if they take too much protein, will increase the burden of the kidney invisibly in the process of metabolism. Long-term high-load operation of the kidney may make the condition more and more serious. Most friends with kidney disease are not suitable to eat protein powder health care products. We found that it is not uncommon for friends with kidney disease to eat high-protein health care products, which leads to the aggravation of the original kidney disease for a short time and even irreversible renal failure.

As for the above five foods, if you only taste them occasionally, it will generally not have much impact; If you eat too much often or at one time, it is very bad for your kidneys. It can be said that these five kinds of "delicacies" are definitely accomplices of patients with kidney disease and uremia, so it is better not to eat them!
