Zhou Xun Department of Nephrology Chief Physician
The dietary arrangement of three meals a day is very important for the recovery of patients with kidney disease. In principle, it should be “eat well in the morning, eat well in the middle, and eat less in the evening. ". The breakfast mentioned in it should be eaten well, which fully shows that breakfast is important. Experts from the Institute of Nutrition and Food Safety of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention suggest that a good breakfast or nutritious breakfast should include four types of food, namely cereals, milk or dairy products, animal foods, and fresh vegetables or fruits. . Among them, cereals mainly provide carbohydrates, milk or dairy products mainly provide high-quality protein, animal foods mainly provide protein and fat, and fresh vegetables and fruits mainly provide vitamins, minerals and trace elements. These four types of foods will provide a certain amount of Moisture, so it can also maintain moisture replenishment.
A qualified breakfast should contain the above four types of food. If there are only 3 types of food, it is considered better. If there are only two or less of them, it means that the quality of this breakfast is not good or not very good. For our kidney disease friends, a qualified breakfast is even more important. Unbalanced nutrition in breakfast, or long-term lack of certain nutrients, or too much intake of certain nutrients, or the presence of harmful substances in breakfast, etc., will not be conducive to the recovery of kidney disease and may even aggravate kidney damage.
The following five types of breakfast are particularly not suitable for patients with kidney disease. If you eat this type of breakfast often, it will hurt your kidneys and your body.
1. Fried breakfast
Fried breakfast is not suitable for patients with kidney disease.Long-term consumption will be more harmful to the body. The main reason is that fried foods contain a lot of trans fatty acids, pigments and leavening agents. Long-term consumption of foods containing trans fatty acids , the damage to the body is mainly manifested in the cardiovascular effects, that is, increasing the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular and diabetes . The accumulation of aluminum in pigments and leavening agent will have adverse effects on health. In addition, the fat in the preparation process of fried breakfast is easy to produce dimers, trimers and other toxic carcinogens after high temperature heating, and the damage to the body caused by long-term consumption should not be underestimated. All kinds of Western food and breakfast provided by roadside barbecue, or belong to this type of breakfast, it is recommended that kidney friends eat less or not.
2. High protein breakfast
Some patients with kidney disease think that eating only high-protein food for breakfast is "good for eating chicken wings and chicken legs." Eat only eggs, milk or meat, etc., which are not advisable. We know that kidney disease is mostly chronic, called chronic kidney disease, and high-protein diet will increase the burden on the kidneys, manifested as urine protein and blood creatinine transiently increase, if long-term In this way, it will further promote the accelerated development of chronic kidney disease. If the patient already has renal dysfunction (such as chronic kidney disease 3-5 stages), not only should the patient not eat a high-protein breakfast, but should reduce the total protein intake in the daily diet, that is, a low-protein diet. Therefore, patients with kidney disease are required to avoid eating too much when eating staple foods and meat foods. Patients who encounter chronic renal insufficiency should also reduce their consumption according to their specific conditions.
3. Leftovers are breakfast
The leftovers of the day are eaten as breakfast. As everyone knows, this way of eating significantly increases the risk of disease. Meals stored in the refrigerator for a long time (such as overnight meals), mainly nitrite high content and easy to breed bacteria, will affect the health of patients with kidney disease. Among them, the intestinal infection caused by the breeding of bacteria is particularly easy to aggravate the condition of patients with kidney disease who have relatively poor resistance, and can even induce recurrence of kidney disease or rapid increase in blood creatinine. In our treated patients with chronic kidney disease, it is not uncommon for urine protein and serum creatinine to be elevated related to eating leftovers. Therefore, the leftovers from before are not suitable for patients with kidney disease.
4. Snacks for breakfast
After waking up in the morning, it is obviously not suitable for a hurry to eat snacks. Only eat snacks for breakfast, not only lack of water and nutrition, but also the trans fatty acid and salt content of the snacks exceeds the standard, which will cause damage to the kidneys and the body. We say that the kidneys and body are often severely dehydrated in the morning of the day. If you do not replenish water in time after getting up in the morning, it will seriously affect the blood supply of the kidneys and reduce the blood flow of the kidneys, thus affecting the detoxification function of the kidneys. As mentioned earlier, the effect of trans fatty acids on the body.In addition, excessive salt intake can damage the kidneys and the body, not to mention, it can cause or aggravate high blood pressure and edema, and it is not conducive to the recovery of kidney disease. Therefore, it is not suitable for nephrologists to treat snacks as breakfast. The long-term effects on the kidneys and the body will be more obvious.
5. Drink for breakfast
For example, just drink some milk, soy milk, milk tea, fruit juice or carbonated drinks, which are very unsuitable for our friends with kidney disease. For all patients with chronic kidney disease, milk and soy milk in beverages are very good because they can provide the highest quality protein, but their nutrients are too single and lack sufficient carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Important nutrients. For patients with chronic kidney disease, in addition to providing water and glucose, other components of milk tea, fruit juice and carbonated beverages are often not friendly to the kidneys and the body, or even harmful, such as sugar, pigments, preservatives and other Additives, etc. Therefore, it is obviously not suitable to treat drinks as breakfast.
Breakfast is the most important thing, so don’t make a mistake for kidney friends.
