With the progressive development of kidney disease, usually in its advanced stage, it is suggested dialysis to purify the blood by excreting wastes, toxins, excess fluid out of the body. To improve the quality of life and disease control effectively, a well-managed diet is crucial.
According to the analysis, 100 g of alfalfa sprouts contain energy KJ 251, 81.8g of water, 3.9 g protein, 1 g fat, 2.1 g dietary fiber, 8.8 g carbohydrates, 497mg of potassium, 5.8 mg sodium calcium 713mg, 61 mg iron 2,01 mg zinc and so on. And nephrologists in our center have concluded the following benefits:
Digestive health
For those on dialysis, some of them may suffer from digestive problems like constipation. And fiber in alfalfa sprouts can help alleviate this symptom to some extent. Hereby, the toxins can be discharged outside the body.
Reduces cholesterol
If the test report show high cholesterol, patients can eat this plant sparingly, as it could be effective in reducing total cholesterol and the level of low density lipoprotein.
Heart Health
Except for reducing cholesterol, alfalfa sprouts are believed to prevent hardening of the arteries and other cardiovascular health problems.
Even if it's many benefits of L-canavanine sulfate present in this plant can cause damage to the immune system and worsen SLE. Excessive intake of alfalfa sprouts can also destroy blood cells. In addition, patients may become susceptible to infection.
