Can kidney disease eat eggs? Can! But avoid these three 'bad' eggs!
I believe that many kidney friends have heard the saying that eggs are fat or eggs are high in cholesterol and are not suitable for kidney disease patients, and then they even eat eggs with trepidation, for fear of adding burden to the kidneys.
In fact, we kidney friends do not need to have such worries at all, why? The editor will tell you about it below.
"Fat" in Chinese medicine is only for a small number of special groups, because under normal circumstances, hair is also food, and eating it in moderation will not cause side effects or discomfort to most people, and it is the same for our kidney friends, so You don't have to regard hair as a "scourge" too much, and you don't have to list eggs as a dietary taboo for this reason. As long as you have no discomfort after eating and it does not affect your condition, you can eat it.
It is true that the yolks of all eggs are rich in cholesterol, but in terms of the specific amount, in fact, one whole egg a day has very little effect on blood lipids and cardiovascular disease, and will not cause cholesterol to rise.
Because the human body needs to take in a certain amount of cholesterol (about 300mg, which is about equal to the cholesterol content in an egg) every day, so as to ensure a balanced nutrition and maintain the needs of life, so kidney friends don’t need to talk about the discoloration of “cholesterol” , as long as the amount is controlled, it will be ok.
It is generally recommended that everyone eat no more than one egg per day. For kidney friends with high blood cholesterol, it may be necessary to eat one egg every two days. Please consult your doctor for details.
Under normal circumstances, kidney friends such as fresh eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, and quail eggs can eat them, but pay attention to the following three types of "bad" eggs.
- Preserved eggs
The main raw material of preserved eggs is duck eggs, which are made through special processing methods. On the one hand, preserved eggs contain relatively high salt, which can easily aggravate the symptoms of high blood pressure and edema after eating by kidney friends; on the other hand, they also contain a lot of lead, which is likely to cause further damage to kidney function when metabolized by the kidneys.
In addition, too much lead will also lead to the loss of calcium in bones and teeth, regular consumption will aggravate the symptoms of bone and tooth dysplasia and osteoporosis in kidney friends.
- Braised eggs
Braised eggs are cooked eggs processed with various seasonings or gravy. Although they are fragrant and delicious, they often add a lot of soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, etc. for seasoning and coloring during the production process. The sodium content is relatively high, and it is a preserved food, so it is not suitable for kidney friends.
In addition, after a long time of cooking, braised eggs will lose a lot of nutrients, such as B vitamins, which are basically lost, so their nutritional value is relatively low, including tea eggs.
- Salted duck eggs
Salted duck eggs are marinated from fresh duck eggs. One salted duck egg contains 3 to 5 grams of salt. It is a veritable high-salt food. Therefore, kidney friends, for the sake of our kidneys, it is better not to be greedy for a moment.
In summary, fresh eggs can be eaten in moderation under the guidance of a doctor. As for processed preserved eggs, marinated eggs, tea eggs, salted duck eggs, etc., it is recommended that you eat less or not eat them.
