Reminder: Don't buy these kinds of fruits, they hurt your kidneys more than salt, and a bite of gout may find you
In today's pursuit of healthy eating, fruit is undoubtedly an indispensable part of everyone's table. They are rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, which are beneficial to human health. However, not all fruits are suitable for everyone. For people with kidney disease or gout, certain fruits may aggravate the condition. Here are a few fruits that are recommended to avoid.
Star fruit is a relatively common nephrotoxic fruit, rich in neurotoxins, a large amount of oxalic acid, kidney disease patients eat, may cause acute tubular necrosis, hematuria, limb numbness, coma, epilepsy, and even fatal risk.
Bayberry. Although bayberry is sweet and sour, it contains high oxalate, which can be a big contraindication for people with kidney stones. Oxalate can combine with calcium in the body to form calcium oxalate stones, which can increase the burden on the kidneys and may lead to the formation or worsening of kidney stones.
Lichee. Lychee is extremely high in sugar, and excessive consumption can easily cause a sharp rise in blood sugar, which is especially bad for diabetics. In addition, some substances in lychee may also induce acute gout attacks, which is very unfriendly to gout patients.
Apricot. Apricots and some other stone fruits may be high in purines, which produce uric acid when metabolized in the body. High uric acid is one of the main causes of gout. Therefore, this type of fruit needs to be consumed with caution for gout patients.
Grape. Grapes are another fruit with a higher sugar content and is not very suitable for diabetics. In addition, grapes are also high in calcium, phosphorus and oxalic acid, and excessive consumption may increase the burden on the kidneys, which is not conducive to kidney health.
Banana. Although bananas are highly nutritious, they are extremely high in potassium. For people with chronic kidney disease, the kidneys have lost the ability to regulate potassium concentrations in the body, and excess potassium can lead to hyperkalemia, which is a major burden on the heart and kidneys.
A healthy diet should be varied and include a variety of fruits. However, it is especially important for people with specific health problems to choose foods that are right for them.
If you have kidney disease, gout, or other related health problems, it is best to choose foods under the guidance of a medical professional. Remember, moderation and balance are key to a healthy diet. While enjoying delicious fruits, be aware of their potential health effects as well.
