A good diet can maintain the body's nutrition and health, but eating the wrong one can be extremely harmful.
The kidneys are the largest metabolic and excretory organs in the body. In a healthy state, the kidneys can excrete some unhealthy or slightly toxic components in food; However, after kidney failure, many common but harmful food components cannot be excreted, which in turn produces more serious toxic harm.
For patients with chronic kidney failure or uremia, you must avoid the following 9 types of common but "toxic" foods.
Raw or underripe fresh beans
For example, green beans, lentils, kidney beans, etc., are rich in plant lectins, which were originally a defense mechanism of plant foods to prevent pests, fungi, etc., but they are also harmful to the human body.
Discomfort such as headache, dizziness, numbness in limbs, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea and so on can occur within 2-4 hours after consumption.
How to avoid it:Heating can destroy plant lectins, so such foods must be cooked thoroughly, avoid quick frying, and simmer for about 5 minutes if possible.
Fish that are easy to enrich heavy metals
The higher the level in the food chain, the longer the growth period, the more likely it is to accumulate heavy metals such as mercury, such as sharks, swordfish, swordfish, alfonsino and tuna.
After humans eat fish rich in heavy metals, they will accumulate in the body and cannot be excreted, and then heavy metal poisoning will occur, causing multiple organ damage.
How to avoid it:Reduce or avoid eating large carnivorous marine fish, choose regular supermarkets or markets when buying aquatic products, and avoid buying unknown** or self-caught fish.
Uncooked soy milk
Raw soybeans or undercooked soy milk contain trypsin inhibitors, which can cause nausea, abdominal pain, gas, diarrhea and other discomforts. Heating and cooking can not only improve the digestion and absorption rate of beans, but also reduce toxic substances.
How to avoid it:When bringing your own soy milk, avoid the phenomenon of "false boiling" and ensure that it is fully cooked.
Sprouted potatoes and green tomatoes
Solanaceous plants such as potatoes, tomatoes, and eggplants contain trace amounts of solanine, but the content of green, sprouted potatoes or immature potatoes and tomatoes is higher, which can cause poisoning.
After poisoning, there can be itching and burning in the mouth, followed by nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, mild cases can be healed in 1-2 days, severe cases can lead to coma and even death.
How to avoid it:Do not eat unripe potatoes or green tomatoes and sprouted, green potatoes and discard them directly.
Nuts such as bitter almonds, ginkgo seeds, etc
Bitter almonds, raw ginkgo (ginkgo biloba), etc. are rich in cyanogenic glycoside toxins, which can cause nausea, vomiting, fatigue, dyspnea, coma and other symptoms after eating, and in severe cases, death due to respiratory failure.
How to avoid it:Buy nuts of acceptable quality to eat, such as bagged almonds in the supermarket, and be sure to avoid trying fresh almonds, peaches and other fruit kernels. Ginkgo seeds should be cooked thoroughly, avoid raw food, control the amount of food when eating, and never eat too much at one time.
Poisonous mushrooms
Although mushrooms are delicious, but not all kinds can be eaten, common poisonous mushrooms contain Amanita poison peptide, phalloidin toxin, can cause liver and kidney and other organ failure, severe cases will die within 2-5 hours.

Lie on the board, sleep in the coffin, and then bury the mountain together.
Buried in the mountains, crying and shouting, relatives and friends came to the house for dinner.
For dinner, there is an umbrella umbrella, and everyone has a lying board.
The Yunnan Center for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a reminder on common toadstools and edible bacteria in Yunnan, emphasizing that they should not be picked, purchased, processed, or eaten.
How to avoid it:Do not pick and eat wild mushrooms, focus on common edible mushrooms in supermarkets or regular markets, and ensure that they are cooked thoroughly, and avoid drinking a lot of alcohol when eating mushrooms.
Fresh daylily
Consumption of fresh daylily may cause diarrhea and other discomforts, which was previously thought to be related to the colchicine it contains, but relevant studies have found that fresh daylily without colchicine can still cause discomfort, so no clear poisoning mechanism has been found.
How to avoid it:Instead of eating fresh daylily, you can buy processed dried daylily in the regular market.
Fugu
The liver and ovaries of puffer fish are rich in tetrodotoxin, and if the puffer fish is not handled properly, it can lead to the presence of toxins in the meat of puffer fish, which can lead to muscle paralysis, respiratory failure and even death after consumption.
How to avoid it:Avoid fishing and handling puffer fish by yourself, and if you want to eat it, you can choose a regular restaurant.
Poisonous shellfish
In recent years, shellfish poisoning incidents have gradually increased, and the Qinhuangdao Oceanic and Fishery Bureau has issued an early warning notice on the consumption of sea rainbows, especially from late March to June every year, sea rainbows are the most toxic.
Shellfish itself is not toxic, and the poisoning caused by the consumption of poisonous seaweed, such as saxitoxin, can be fatal.
How to avoid it:Shellfish toxins cannot be removed by cooking methods such as heating, so it is recommended to buy them in large formal markets, which are safer and more reliable. During the seaweed bloom period (red tide), avoid self-fishing.
