Tips for housewives on how to prepare broccoli for the kidneys

Kiều Vũ (Theo NKF & NIDDK) |

Broccoli is a nutritious vegetable, especially beneficial for kidney health if prepared properly.

A diet rich in fiber, low in sodium, potassium and phosphorus is necessary to protect kidney function, especially for people with chronic kidney disease. Broccoli, when processed appropriately, can meet these criteria.

Broccoli is a food with an average potassium and phosphorus content, but can be controlled by boiling or lightly steaming. Research shows that boiling broccoli for 3-5 minutes helps reduce potassium content by up to 50%, while still retaining many important antioxidants such as sulforaphane - a compound that helps reduce inflammation and damage kidney cells.

A noteworthy fact is that sulforaphane in broccoli has the ability to protect the kidneys from damage caused by oxidative stress - a major cause of kidney failure. Sulforaphane can regulate anti-inflammatory genes and enhance kidney cell function in toxic environments.

To prepare broccoli for the kidneys, housewives should:

Boil or steam lightly instead of stir-frying or baking to limit fat and sodium.

Do not add salt or use low-sodium salt (such as low- potassium salt)

Combine with low-phosphorus foods such as white rice, olive oil or steamed lean meat.

Avoid boiling water for broccoli if you are limited to potassium, because this mineral is soluble in water during the cooking process.
