Can Turnip Help FSGS Patients

Turnip is a root vegetable and rich in nutritional values. It is a good source of vitamin C, calcium, fiber, potassium, manganese, phosphorus and carbohydrate. Can patients with FSGS eat turnip?

Benefits of turnip for FSGS patients:

1. Relieve constipation

Constipation can be a common complication of FSGS. It is a source of fiber that includes soluble dietary fibers to prevent constipation.

2. Reduce the hypertension

High blood pressure is another complication of FSGS. If left untreated, it may cause further kidney damage. Turnips are good for controlling high blood pressure.

3. Heart disease

People with kidney disease are more likely to have heart disease than are people without kidney disease. Heart disease is more common in people with even mild to moderate kidney disease than in those of the same age and sex without kidney disease. The cause of death in people with kidney disease is most often heart disease. Thus, it is very important to treat heart disease through both diet and medical treatment. Turnips have great anti-inflammatory properties, which are considered key in preventing heart attack and heart disease. They also help the body lower cholesterol and contain excellent amount of folate, a B-vitamin that is crucial to cardiovascular health.

Turnips can help FSGS patients. However, excess amounts of the substances crystallize in the body and leads to some health problems due to the presence of oxalates. Besides, oxalate can also cause the development of stones in the kidneys. Hence it is best to consume in limit if you have FSGS. Aside from diet, FSGS patients should also take medical treatment to restore kidney function. Here I recommend Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy to improve blood circulation, prevent inflammation in the kidneys, repair injured kidney tissues and cells, and then restore overall kidney function gradually.
