More Protein Isn’t Always Better for Your Kidney Health 蛋白質攝取越多並不一定對腎臟健康有幫助。

Growing up in HK, I was told by my parent that I need to eat animal proteins every day to get enough nutrition but that’s not entirely true. Too much animal proteins can actually strain your kidneys, especially if their function is already declining.

What really matters is balance: combining foods wisely and serving plant-based proteins such as beans, lentils, tofu, edamame, nuts and seeds im your meals along with some animal proteins or just replace animal proteins several times a week with plant based proteins. You don’t need meat at every meal to get enough nutrition, and your kidneys will thank you for it.

我在香港長大, 父母一直告訴我，我必須每天吃動物蛋白才能攝取足夠的營養, 但這並不完全正確。攝取過多的動物性蛋白質實際上會加重腎臟負擔, 尤其是如果腎功能已經正在衰退。

真正重要的是均衡飲食：合理搭配食物, 在日常飲食中加入一些植物蛋白, 例如豆類, 扁豆, 豆腐, 毛豆, 堅果和種子, 或每週用植物蛋白取代幾次動物蛋白。你不需要每餐都吃肉才能獲得足夠的營養, 你的腎臟也會感謝你的。
