Just like other people have an affinity for certain type of bread, most chronic kidney disease patients especially from western countries also want to choose one healthy and good taste bread to eat. Is sourdough bread a good choice for CKD patients?
The progression of Chronic Kidney Disease increases the incidence rate of various problems. Although a healthy diet plan is unable to help manage these discomforts from the root, it can at least avoid to worsen patients' complications.
Sourdough bread is done with the help of sourdough, which is made from our own unique starter of yeast. Just because of this, this type of bread can bring some health benefits for kidney patients, and three main reasons make kidney disease patients eat sourdough bread beneficially.
The first reason is its lower glycemic index that that of other breads. At present, chronic kidney disease is often accompanied by high blood sugar. In this case, it is very important to choose one bread that won't spike blood sugar dramatically. The reason is that sourdough depletes damaged starches naturally.
The second reason is its property of improving kidney disease patients' digesting system. This bread is rich in bacteria lactobacillus that can stimulate the production of lactic acid. More lactic acid means easier digestion. Good digestion can make kidney patients have a appetite and take in enough nutrition.
The third reason is its effect of preventing infections. The fermentation process of sourdough bread can increase the content of beneficial bacteria in the bread and gut. These beneficial bacteria can help reduce the incidence of infections successfully.
Now, we can know what can chronic kidney disease patients get from sourdough bread, but patients still need to limit the amount of this bread to eat. To learn how much bread to eat one time, you can consult the doctor online directly.
