When the weather turns cold, the human body, especially those with weak kidney function, is often easily tired, hands and feet cold, back pain and reduced resistance. Choosing suitable food in the cold season is important in protecting and supporting kidney function.
There is a type of fish considered a valuable food, especially suitable for people with weak kidneys when it's cold, that housewives need to know if there are people with weak kidneys in the house. That is salmon.
Salmon has abundant omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s have anti-inflammatory effects, improve blood circulation and reduce cell damage, thereby helping kidneys function more stably.
When it's cold, blood vessels easily constrict, reducing blood flow to the kidneys, making symptoms such as back pain and knee fatigue in weak kidney patients become obvious. Supplementing salmon helps improve circulation, contributing to warming the body from the inside and reducing the feeling of chills.
In addition, salmon provides high-quality protein but is easy to digest, and does not put great pressure on the kidneys if eaten in a reasonable amount. This is very important, because people with weak kidneys need to supplement protein to maintain muscle and resistance, but must avoid excess that causes kidneys to overwork. Salmon also contains a lot of vitamin D and B vitamins, which support calcium absorption, help strengthen bones and reduce pain - common problems in people with weak kidneys when the weather is cold.
Housewives need to pay attention to how to prepare salmon, which also greatly affects nutritional efficiency. Dishes from salmon that housewives can prioritize processing such as steamed salmon, cooked soup or low-fat pan-fried, combined with warm vegetables such as ginger, onions, and dill. These spices not only make dishes easy to digest but also help keep the body warm, suitable for weakened physical conditions in cold weather.
Conversely, you should limit raw, too salty or too greasy salmon dishes, as they can cause cold stomachs or increase the burden on the kidneys.
On cold days, salmon is a suitable food choice for people with weak kidneys if used properly.
Eating salmon regularly, processing it healthily and combined with a scientific lifestyle will contribute to protecting kidney function, improving health and helping the body adapt better to cold weather.
