Is yam OK for a patient with 6 months dialysis? As we all know, you need to follow a strict diet once you have kidney disease and begin dialysis. Yam is not only tasty but also nutritious. However, is yam good for a dialysis patient?
First, let’s what health benefits yam have.
1. Reduce cardiovascular disease
Dialysis patients may be susceptible to suffer from cardiovascular disease. Yam is a good source of vitamin B6, a nutrient needed by the body to break down homocysteine, an amino acid which can directly damage your blood vessel wall. Adequate intake of vitamin B6 has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease.
2. Lower high blood pressure
Yam is a good source of mineral potassium, which can help control blood pressure. And yam is also a great source of vitamin C which lowers blood pressure and ensures proper dilation of blood vessels, improving blood flow to the heart and preventing high cholesterol and congestive heart failure.
3. Regulate your blood sugar
Yam can prevent blood sugar levels from spiking too high too quickly and dipping too low.
Generally speaking, yam is good for kidney disease patients. However, it does not mean it is good for everyone. If you want to know if yam is good for you or not, you need to consult your doctor or our online doctor.
It is possible for you to avoid dialysis with 4 months. You can take Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy to repair your injured kidney tissues and improve kidney function. Once your renal function is improved, dialysis is able to be reduced or even avoided. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can dilate your blood vessels, prevent inflammation and coagulation, remove immune complexes, provide nutrients, and stimulate the self-curing ability of injured kidney tissues. Gradually injured kidneys can be repaired to some extent and kidney function can be improved. In this way, you can avoid dialysis. However, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is only available in China so you have to come to China for treatment.
