Creatinine is a substance produced by the body’s basic metabolism of many substances. Due to various reasons, some people’s bodies cannot excrete creatinine normally, leading to a higher level of creatinine in the body, which is very detrimental to health. In such cases, it is necessary to effectively adjust the dietary structure. Those with high creatinine levels can eat broccoli.

One, can those with high creatinine eat broccoli?

It can be taken, but pay attention to check the cause of the increase in creatinine!

Two, tear off without cutting

The whole branch of broccoli has many flower clusters, which are also stuck together. If it is simply cut like a cucumber, it is easy to chop the flower clusters together, and many green powder will fall on the cutting board, and it is not easy to cook. Therefore, it is generally necessary to pull the broccoli apart. By squeezing the root, a small flower cluster can be easily removed without affecting the surrounding area.

If it is really necessary to cut with a knife, it is best to first cut off the thick part at the root of the broccoli, then choose to cut at least the part that is sticking together, and then use the same method to cut the broccoli to the desired size.

Three, steam the broccoli, not boil it

Cooking broccoli easily makes it softer, so it is recommended to choose steaming as the cooking method for broccoli.

In a steamer with fireproof and waterproof properties, after the water boils, place the broccoli in the steamer to cook, which can keep the nutrients in broccoli intact and maintain its crisp taste.

Finally, it is important to remind everyone that when boiling broccoli, it should be maintained for about one minute to prevent the loss of nutrients in broccoli. Otherwise, the nutritional components in broccoli will be lost, and the color will become more and more yellow.

Four, pay attention to the dietary combination with high creatinine levels:

1. Those with high creatinine levels should avoid salty foods and maintain a low-fat diet, which means the daily salt intake should not exceed 3 grams. It is best to consume foods high in phosphorus, such as seafood, animal internal organs, sesame seeds, peanuts, walnuts, pure honey, egg yolks, and dragon fruit.

2. There are many types of foods with high creatinine levels, such as scallions, winter melon, green beans, luffa, soybean sprouts, muskmelon, apples, pear, Jing Bai pear, Hong Xiao pear, jackfruit, fresh green beans, sweet potatoes, carrots, radishes, Shou Mei radishes, Napa cabbage, pumpkin cabbage, oranges, tangerines, pear, persimmons, peach cakes, etc.

3. Those with high creatinine levels should avoid foods high in protein, with the daily protein intake not exceeding 20-30 grams, including the amount of soy protein in regular meals. When consuming foods rich in plant oils, it is necessary to add less oil when cooking, and it is even more important to avoid excessive intake of fried, fried, and greasy foods.
