As all foods waste need to be filter out by kidneys after digestion, what you
eat really influence how fast your Polycystic Kidney Disease develops. What safe
to eat when you have Polycystic Kidney Disease?
Fish and fish oil.
Fish is popular food through the world. According to a research which is
conducted by English experts that eating fish regularly can lower the
development of polycystic kidney disease. In the research which involves more
than 2000 patients with PKD, the patients who eat fish at least once per week
are most likely to develop slowly than those who don’t.
Fish oil usually is a good choice for anyone who suffers from kidney disease,
including Polycystic Kidney Disease. Fish oil is found to have a rich mixture of
omeg-3 fatty acids which contains rich resources of DHA and EPA. DHA and EPA
contribute to the slow progression of PKD.
High-fiber foods.
People with Polycystic Kidney Disease are suggest to eat a lot of high-fiber
foods than can combat insulin resistance. This refers to the high insulin levels
that have been linked with heart disease and faster rates of PKD progression.
The high-fiber can be found in most fruit and vegetable, whole grains and
legumes.
Higher potassium foods.
Most kidney disease patients should follow low potassium foods, which is
totally different with polycystic kidney disease. PKD requires higher levels of
potassium foods. As for higher potassium food choice, papaya, cantaloupe melon,
raisins, mango, pears, oranges banana and prune will offer help.
Water.
Unlike other kidney disease patients, especially who are suffering from
swelling, Polycystic Kidney Disease patients would better drink more water
because water contributes to flushing out waste products and prevent a common
symptom of PKD, which is dehydration.
Although PKD can not be cured by far, however, as long as the renal cysts can
be controlled well, people with PKD can live a normal life with the disease.
Safe foods only can not control the renal cysts well and you need take right
treatments to support you to live a better life.
