1 00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:05,700 Friends let us know about the fruit that is eaten with so much passion in India, even then 2 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:10,600 many people may have not eaten it ever. It has so many names, such as custard 3 00:00:10,700 --> 00:00:15,500 apple or shareefa. It is a green -color fruit that has pulp in it and many 4 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:20,400 types of seeds. It is a seasonal fruit and mainly found as the 5 00:00:20,500 --> 00:00:25,300 winter comes. See, we have already told you in the earlier videos 6 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:30,200 that there are various types of fruits and vegetables that a person can 7 00:00:30,300 --> 00:00:35,100 make a part of his diet. But, if a person is under the guidance of renal-diet, then he should be strictly 8 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:40,000 careful of the things that are good for him or the things that 9 00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:44,900 will worsen his kidney problems. Every kidney patients' 10 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,800 disease varies according to the stage of CKD and based on the stage depends 11 00:00:49,900 --> 00:00:54,700 what types of minerals are accumulating inside the body. He should not eat such things 12 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,600 that may exceed the already leveled up minerals in his body. The seasonal 13 00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:04,500 fruit custard apple is always in question that can a kidney patient eat 14 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:09,400 this fruit or not. Friends, first of all, in kidney disease, you should 15 00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:14,300 stay away from the fruits. All the nutrients that you get from fruits can also 16 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,200 be consumed from vegetables. And if you eat vegetables rightly, it will not harm you. 17 00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:24,100 But there are some benefits of custard apple, first being that it is 18 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:29,000 a rich source of antioxidants and vitamin C that 19 00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:33,900 separates the free radicals from your body. Free radicals are the substances that rub off with oxygen 20 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,800 and slowly destroys your cells. The sooner the cells 21 00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:43,700 get aged, the more you will become weak. In addition 22 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:48,600 the great benefit of vitamin C is that it strengthens your immune system 23 00:01:48,700 --> 00:01:53,500 With this, you are being helped in fighting various infections and bacteria. 24 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,400 During kidney disease, this thing is quite essential because at that time 25 00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:03,300 your immune system gets weakened and your kidneys 26 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,200 progressively move towards damage. With the help of custard apple your anemia also gets treated. 27 00:02:08,300 --> 00:02:13,100 Anemia is a severe complication of kidney disease that develops 28 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:18,000 when the kidneys are not able to process iron completely. The iron in your blood 29 00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:22,900 starts reducing slowly and it levels dropped down in the blood. 30 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,800 After this, the blood is not able to transport oxygen to various parts 31 00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:32,700 This deficiency of iron can be met with the help of custard 32 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,600 apple. Eating in a good amount will help increase the production of red blood cells 33 00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:42,500 As soon as the RBCs are formed, the blood flow increases and 34 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,400 the blood will be able to transport oxygen with ease. The other benefit of custard apple 35 00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:52,300 is that it has too much fiber. Fiber is needed in your body when 36 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:57,200 the bowel system is not working properly. This sweet and delicious fruit can 37 00:02:57,300 --> 00:03:02,100 help a lot in your digestion. It gives your body 38 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:07,000 dietary fiber in the maximum amount and your bowel function 39 00:03:07,100 --> 00:03:11,900 gets improved and so your body does not get constipation. 40 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,800 There are various other benefits of it, such as it has vitamins A and B6. But 41 00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:21,700 the worst thing about custard apple is that it has too much potassium. Those kidney patients 42 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,600 whose kidney disease has advanced have too much 43 00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:31,500 potassium in their body. This potassium mixes in your blood reaches your heart 44 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,400 and you may have to suffer from a heart-attack. Those patients should keep custard apple 45 00:03:36,500 --> 00:03:41,300 at bay because this much potassium can potentially cause you sudden heart-attack 46 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:46,200 and this may also take your life. The second reason why you should not consume custard apple is 47 00:03:46,300 --> 00:03:51,100 that it is too sweetened. If you have diabetes along with the kidney disease, then this can be dangerous for you. 48 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:56,000 Even consuming a single custard apple will raise your blood sugar level to an extent that 49 00:03:56,100 --> 00:04:00,900 it will further pressurize your kidneys. During kidney disease, the rise in the 50 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,800 blood sugar level is not good for you. The less pressurized your kidneys 51 00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:10,700 get is good for you. Even though the custard apple has too much benefit, you 52 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:15,600 can only consume custard apple in the starting stage only. And if your kidneys have progressed 53 00:04:15,700 --> 00:04:20,500 to the late stages, then you should stay away from it. There is quite a long list of what to eat and 54 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,400 what not to. In such a situation, it is necessary that you consult your dietician 55 00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:30,300 before eating or drinking anything.
