According to the recent research results of kidney disease diet, we recommend several types of healthy food to patients with chronic kidney disease:
Fresh vegetables
Reason for recommending: Fresh vegetables are rich in a variety of vitamins, dietary fiber and a variety of minerals, and increasing the consumption of fresh vegetables can also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
If you are a kidney patient with severe renal insufficiency combined with high blood potassium, you need to limit potassium. Some fresh vegetables are high in potassium, such as spinach, lotus root, fresh mushrooms, and yam are high in potassium, usually chopped and soaked in water for a change, or blanched in boiling water and then cooked, which removes most of the potassium from them. There are also potatoes and so on, so that you can satisfy the need to eat all varieties of vegetables, but also do so in a way that effectively controls the amount of potassium.
Fresh fruit
Reason for recommendation: compared with people who do not eat fruit or rarely eat fruit, people who eat fresh fruit every day, cardiovascular disease mortality decreased by 40%, coronary heart disease mortality decreased by 34%.
If it is severe renal insufficiency combined with high blood potassium kidney disease patients, reduce bananas, apricots, oranges, grapefruit, these types of fruits with high potassium content.
Low-fat milk
Reason for recommendation: Milk is a natural food rich in nutrients and easy to absorb. It is a good source of calcium and protein for kidney patients. Because many renal friends combined with high uric acid, cardiovascular disease, obesity and other problems, so the consumption of low-fat milk is more suitable than whole milk.
Vegetable oil
Reason for recommendation: olive oil, tea oil, sunflower oil, canola oil and most other vegetable oils are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, kidney patients can usually eat a variety of vegetable oils patients when cooking.
But try to eat as little as possible palm oil, coconut oil and other saturated fatty acid-based oil.
Fish
Reason for recommendation: the meat on our Chinese table is dominated by pork, beef and sheep red meat, but the latest research points out that eating less red meat is more conducive to kidney and blood vessel health.
Fish is relatively lower in fat and mostly unsaturated fatty acids, and fish should be prioritized over pork, beef and sheep.
All healthy food, there is no good or bad for kidney patients, the main thing is a balanced mix. Everyone is different and cannot be generalized, the diet that suits you is the best diet!
