A
healthy kidney is as important as a healthy heart. A person with kidney
problems will tell you how painful life can be when one's kidneys are
unfit to process daily body waste.
Issues range from
difficulty in passing urine to puffiness around the eyes, feet and
hands. Kidney failure is an agonizing problem; hence to maintain healthy
kidneys, we prep you with food that can improve kidney function. Here's
a list of foods you must eat for healthy kidneys.
Red capsicum
This vegetable adds flavour whether it is baked, roasted, cooked or
stuffed. Capsicums help to break down waste that is in the blood, hence a
prefect veggie for those suffering with kidney disease. But make sure
it is red capsicum for kidney patients.
Egg whites
If you have kidney problems, you need protein with less phosphorus.
This is when egg whites come into play as these have healthy proteins
and far less phosphorus compared to other sources of protein. Keep in
mind that people with kidney problems should avoid egg yolks.
Cauliflower
The simplest way to prepare cauliflower is to boil it and add pepper
and salt. But this flowery vegetable is an enemy for toxic compounds in
your body. The cauliflower is rich is indoles, glucosinolates and
thiocyanates that bumps off all the toxic waste in your body.
Cabbage
Cabbage forms a core ingredient for the most loved and relished
Indian-Chinese food. But this layered vegetable is a great source for
phytochemicals that cut down free radicals, which damage the body and
the skin. Essentially, any fruit and vegetable that breaks down free
radicals is a secret to natural glowing skin. Raw cabbage is the
preferred way to consume cabbages for those going through dialysis.
Fish
Fish dishes are popular with coastal residents, but thanks to our well
connected roads fish is available to cities away from the coast. It may
cost more but fish has anti-inflammatory fats, omega-3 that can reduce
kidney problems. Fish it also a good source for proteins, have it anyway
you like it - crispy, baked or in amazing coconut curry.
Juice
Fruit juice or vegetable juice, both have properties to break down
waste and flush them out. The juices, especially vegetable juices have
phytochemicals that are great for those undergoing dialysis as they help
prevent kidney failure. Fruit juices, especially berries are rich in
antioxidants that avoid issues and improve kidney health. You can either
have vegetable and fruits or squeeze them out for their juices.
