For the patients with Nephritis, their kidneys can not filter out the
metabolic wastes from body normally. Therefore, they should be particularly
cautious about what they eat. The patients with Nephritis should avoid the
following foods:
1. Egg
For the patients with Acute Nephritis, their renal function and metabolic
function declines obviously. Hence, a lot of metabolic wastes will build up in
body. If the patients eat a lot of eggs, it is not beneficial for the
recovery.
2. Banana
Banana is rich in nutrients and it is preferred by many people. However, for
the patients with Nephritis or kidney problem, they are forbidden to eat it.
Firstly, banana is abundant of sodium. Too much consumption of sodium will
aggravate edema. Secondly, it is rich in potassium. If the potassium level is
too high in blood, it will affect the cardiac function thus resulting in
irregular heart beat and even heart failure.
3. Spicy foods
The spicy foods such as onion, ginger, garlic and mustard can cause serious
irritation. The metabolic wastes of these foods have to be excreted out of body
kidneys. The spicy integrants will damage the renal parenchymal thus affecting
the renal function.
For the patients with Nephritis, they should increase have proper intake of
vinegar in their daily diet. Vinegar has the following benefits to the patients
with Nephritis.
1. As the patients’ immunity is very weak, it is very easy for infections and
other virus to invade into body thus triggering the disease relapse. Vinegar can
restrain the virus.
2. Many patients with Nephritis have metabolic disorders. In some cases, the
disorders will cause a large amount of calcium to build up in body, which is bad
to the patients’ recovery. Vinegar benefits the absorption of calcium and other
nutrients.
3. Poor appetite is a big problem for the patients with Nephritis. The acetic
acid in vinegar can promote the secretion of gastric juice thus improving
gastrointestinal motility.
