Popcorn is the perfect snack in your leisure time such as watching TV, watching a movie. However, is it OK for renal patients to eat popcorn?
Yes, generally it is good for renal patients to have popcorn. The health benefits of popcorn include its ability to regulate blood sugar, lower cholesterol, improve digestive process, protect against osteoporosis and help you lose weight. Eating popcorn can provide some benefits for kidney patients:
1. Improve digestion
In terms of digestion, the rich fiber content can keep your body regular, meaning that your digestive tract and conditions like constipation are avoided. Kidney patients with constipation can eat popcorn.
2. Control blood sugar
Besides, fiber is also helpful for blood sugar management within the body. When the body has ample amounts of fiber, it will regulate the release and management of blood sugar and insulin levels better than people with low levels of fiber. Reducing these fluctuations in blood sugar is a major bonus for diabetics, so popcorn is always a recommendation if you suffer from that difficult disease. Diabetes is a leading cause of kidney damage so diabetes management will reduce the risk of kidney disease.
Popcorn can be eaten by kidney patients but it can not treat kidney disease. Kidney treatment requires a systematic Chinese medicine treatment including Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Medicated Bath, Medicated Foot Bath, Medicinal Soup, Moxibustion Therapy and Steaming Therapy, etc. They first cleanse your blood and then repair injured kidney tissues and improve renal function through dilating blood vessels, improving renal function, degrading extracellular matrix, providing nutrients and removing blood stasis. In this way, kidney disease can be treated well.
Diet and systematic Chinese medicine treatments should combine together to treat kidney disease. If you have any treatment, you can leave me a message below or consult our online doctor directly.
