For workers with kidney failure, the need to maintain health to ensure working ability further raises the requirement for scientific and balanced diet. Tangerines are a popular fruit, rich in vitamins, but if used incorrectly, it can have adverse effects on people with kidney failure.
Tangerines are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants and fiber, which help boost immunity, support digestion and reduce fatigue - factors that are beneficial for workers.
However, tangerines also contain potassium and a certain amount of natural sugar. For people with kidney failure, especially in the moderate to severe stage, the ability to excrete potassium is reduced, leading to the risk of hyperkalemia, which can cause heart rhythm disorders and severe fatigue.
Therefore, workers with kidney failure, if they want to eat tangerines, need to adhere to a number of things. Among them, the important principle is to control portion sizes. Instead of eating many fruits at once, it is possible to divide them into smaller portions, eat in moderation and not eat daily.
Extending the time to eat tangerines helps the body have enough time to metabolize and limit potassium accumulation. For people undergoing dialysis or with high blood potassium levels, it is necessary to consult a doctor before use.
In addition, the time to eat tangerines also needs to be noted. Workers with kidney failure should eat tangerines after main meals, avoid eating on an empty stomach to limit stomach irritation and reduce the risk of sudden high blood sugar. Tangerines should not be eaten late in the evening, as it can cause digestive discomfort and affect sleep, especially for shift workers.
Another point to note is not to use tangerines in concentrated juice. Juice often increases sugar and potassium intake in a short time, putting pressure on the kidneys. Eating fresh whole tangerines in controlled amounts is still a safer option.
Workers with kidney failure can still eat tangerines to supplement vitamins and improve resistance, but they need to eat them properly, in the right amount and appropriately for their condition. When combining reasonable fruit control with a low-salt diet, enough energy, and periodic medical monitoring, people with kidney failure can protect their health and maintain long-term labor efficiency.
