Many people enjoy almonds. And they indeed do good for your
health. But for renal failure patients, you should pay attention to your diet.
Can renal failure patients eat almonds?
Nutrient value of almonds
Almonds are a great source of protein and fiber, calcium, vitamin
E, magnesium and potassium. They are also high in healthy unsaturated fats and
not the unhealthy saturated kind.
The reason why you can eat almonds with
kidney failure
-Bone disease is a common complication of renal failure. The high
content of calcium and magnesium in almonds can protect you from such disease.
-Heart disease is the most common cause of death for renal failure
patients. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that defends your cells against
damage on a daily basis and prevents artery clogging oxidation of cholesterol.
Besides, magnesium is also critical in preventing heart attacks and
hypertension.
-The damaged kidneys can not balance the acid-base properly in the
body. It is prone for renal failure patients to suffer from acidosis. Almonds
are the only nut and one of the few proteins that are alkaline forming.
-Almonds also lower the rise in blood sugar and insulin after
meals.
The reason why you can not eat almonds with
renal failure
-Almonds are high in potassium. 100 g almonds contains 705 mg
potassium. If your kidneys are seriously damaged, they build up in the blood,
resulting in abnormal heart rhythm, slow heart rate, weakness and so on. At the
same time, it increases the burden on kidneys.
-Almonds are also rich in phosphorus. 100g almonds contains 484 mg
phosphorus, too much of which will lead to skin itch for kidney failure
patients.
-As the intake of almonds had increased, the prevalence of kidney
stone will also increase.
-Allergy to almonds is actually rather common. If you are allergic
to almonds, it is important to avoid almonds.
Whether you can eat almond or not should depend on your medical
condition. If you would like to know yours, you can contact online doctor, or
