In addition to white water, it is also a drink worthy of kidney friends! To a friend's kidney is not good.

As we all know, ordinary white water is the healthiest drink.

But white water is tasteless, and sometimes we certainly want to drink something delicious, so that life is interesting!

Shenshangxian is often asked by kidney friends: "I want to drink coke, Fanta, Sprite ... is it okay?" "Milk tea? Can you drink a little properly? " "Sports drinks and red bull, is kidney disease healthy?" "Drink a glass of juice every day, ok?" ......

In fact, the above drinks that people often ask are all sugary drinks. If you drink it regularly, it will secretly increase your uric acid, blood sugar, blood lipid, weight and other indicators, which is not conducive to the recovery of kidney disease.

If kidney friends want to drink good drinks and don't want to be bad for kidney disease, then, as nutritionists, we recommend two main types of drinks for kidney friends:

Tea or coffee!

Many studies have found that tea or coffee is relatively healthy for patients with kidney disease (but not all kidney friends are suitable, as we will explain in detail below). Tea, as we have said many times before, is mainly about coffee today.

Coffee and tea are the two main sources of caffeine intake for people all over the world. At present, in various fields, related studies have observed that caffeine intake may be related to a variety of health benefits.

For example, moderate intake of caffeine may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular disease-related death, fatty liver and other liver diseases, and improve cognitive and sports performance.

In the field of nephropathy, there are also some related studies.

For example, a large-scale study published by NDT, a famous journal of kidney diseases, analyzed the relationship between caffeine intake and mortality of chronic kidney diseases.

In this study, more than 4000 patients with chronic kidney disease were investigated for about 5 years, and their caffeine intake and physical condition were recorded.

The results show that caffeine intake by drinking tea and coffee is helpful to reduce the mortality of patients with chronic kidney disease, and caffeine may have a protective effect on patients with kidney disease.

However, it should be pointed out that the beneficial studies of coffee are mostly observational studies, and the conclusions drawn are more relevant than causality. That is to say, these studies have observed that drinking coffee is related to the reduction of the risk of certain diseases, but it is not enough to prove that coffee makes these people better.

For kidney friends, the current research can't prove that coffee can promote kidney health, but at least it can show that coffee won't hurt the kidney, so kidney friends who like coffee can drink it with peace of mind!

So, what kind of coffee should kidney friends choose?

Kidney friends can drink coffee, but it doesn't mean that all coffee is equally "healthy".

Coffee on the market can be divided into the following categories:

Instant coffee, freeze-dried instant coffee, capsule coffee, hand-brewed coffee, hanging ear coffee, coffee shops sell …

Among them, instant coffee is our last recommendation to kidney friends.

Because like instant coffee (1 yuan/pack in 2 yuan), the content of effective caffeine, or coffee powder, is very small, but a lot of sugar and non-milk powder are added. Even some coffee is made of hydrogenated vegetable oil for the cost, which will also cause the intake of trans fatty acids, and a large intake of trans fatty acids will also have an adverse impact on our cardiovascular system.

So it is not recommended for kidney friends to choose instant coffee.

Freeze-dried instant coffee, capsule coffee, hand-brewed coffee and ear-hanging coffee, as well as American coffee, latte and cappuccino sold in coffee shops, only add milk or milk foam without cream, and the ingredients are simple, usually just coffee powder. Kidney friends can choose according to their own preferences.

To sum up, kidney friends should be careful not to choose ordinary instant coffee and try to avoid adding a lot of coffee such as cream and sugar. , the rest are free to choose the kind of coffee ~

So, how much is appropriate to drink?

Coffee contains caffeine, and caffeine intake will increase excitability. Excessive coffee may also lead to insomnia, headache, anxiety, tremor, arrhythmia and other symptoms, and may even affect the condition of kidney friends.

So drink coffee in moderation. According to the recommendation of UTD, the authoritative evidence-based medicine database, it is best for adults to consume no more than 400mg of caffeine every day. Converted into a specific amount of coffee, it is probably no more than 2 cups of American coffee a day.

Therefore, it is no problem for kidney friends who like coffee to drink 1-2 cups a day. Everyone has different sensitivity to caffeine, and how much to drink ultimately needs to be adjusted according to their tolerance. If your doctor asks for water restriction, how much water should you drink every day? Many kidney friends miscalculated! )

In addition, the main reminder of external demand! ! ! We don't recommend drinking coffee with three kinds of kidney friends!

1. friends with polycystic kidney disease. Caffeine may promote the growth of cyst volume, so it is not recommended.

2. Kidney friends with hyperphosphatemia and hyperkalemia. The content of potassium and phosphorus in coffee itself is not very low, especially some coffees are added with additives such as creamer, and the phosphorus in the additives is particularly easy to be absorbed. Therefore, it is not recommended for kidney friends who have problems with blood potassium and blood phosphorus.

3. Kidney friends who have insomnia, headache and palpitation after drinking coffee still have individual differences in any food. If you feel uncomfortable after eating, don't force yourself to drink.

In the hot summer, kidney friends who like to drink coffee can rest assured to have a drink ~ There are still many kidney friends who are worried about drinking coffee, so please tell them this popular science and wish you a happy time ~
