Breakfast plays an important role in providing energy and stabilizing blood sugar, especially for people with kidney failure - those who need a diet that both ensures nutrition and reduces the burden on the kidneys.
People with kidney failure should build a breakfast based on the principle: Low in protein, low in sodium, potassium, phosphorus, but still have enough energy and fiber.
Research recommends that people with kidney failure should choose foods such as white rice branches or white rice instead of whole grains because whole grains contain a lot of potassium and phosphorus. Combining banh mi with egg whites (high-quality purple soup but low in phosphorus) and low- potassium vegetables such as cucumber and squash will create a balanced breakfast.
Dairy products should be replaced with low- phosphorus nut milk such as rice milk and unsweetened almond milk. If you consume animal milk, you should choose separated protein or drink it in limited quantity so as not to exceed the recommended protein requirement (about 0.60.8g/kg weight/day).
Low- potassium fruits such as apples, grapes, blueberries and pears are a good choice for people with kidney failure for breakfast, providing antioxidants without increasing potassium load - a factor that can easily cause heart rhythm disturbances in people with kidney disease. Researchers emphasize that controlling blood potassium plays a vital role in the treatment of kidney failure.
People with kidney failure should eat a light but nutritious breakfast, avoiding foods rich in potassium, sodium and phosphorus. Choosing the right foods and controlling portion sizes are key factors to maintain stable kidney function and prevent complications.
