Is Boiled Peanut Good For CKD Patients

Do you like boiled peanuts? I like them very much. But as for CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) patients, can they eat boiled peanuts?

Boiled peanut is usually with much salt. CKD patients should avoid boiled peanuts and other high salty foods. Damaged kidneys can not discharge excess fluid from the body. Fluid accumulates in your body, causing swelling. Salty foods should be avoided to relieve swelling and prevent high blood pressure.

If kidney disease patients have no swelling or high blood pressure, they can eat boiled peanuts moderately because peanuts can have some medical benefits. Peanuts can control blood sugar because peanuts are both low GI and GL foods due to their content of healthy oils, protein and fiber that have a positive effect on blood sugar control. High blood sugar is one of the leading cause of kidney damage so it is vital to follow a proper diet to control blood sugar.

Also magnesium in peanuts have been shown to play a role in risk reduction of diabetes due to its positive effects on the release and effectiveness of insulin in the body. Magnesium can prevent inflammation and treat metabolic syndrome as well. These all contribute to improving kidney function.

Aside from paying much attention to diet, the key point for CKD patients is to repair kidney damage and improve kidney function. To achieve this purpose, our hospital-Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital recommends Toxin-Revoming Treatment which cleanses your blood first. Only in this way can your kidney function be improved. Toxin-Removing Treatment includes a series of Chinese Medicine Treatments such as Medicated Bath, Mai Kang Mixture, Medicinal Soup, Medicatd Foot Bath, Moxibustion Therapy and Steaming Therapy, etc. The active ingredients in Chinese medicines can not only cleanse toxins from blood but also remove toxins from kidney intrinsic cells. This can set up a clean blood environment for recovering your kidney function. Also Toxin-Removing Treatment can dilate blood vessels, improve blood circulation, prevent inflammation and coagulation, degrade extracellular matrix, remove blood stasis and provide nutrients. All these contribute to improving renal function.
