First of all, let's tell you about the function of the kidneys.

Kidneys' work is to filter the blood. When you consume certain things

in the excess amount that can elevate the amount of creatinine in your blood then such diet can....

be harmful to your kidneys. Creatinine is a waste product produced due to the wear and tear of the muscles.

Let's move towards our today's topic and know that in how many ways kidney patient can consume bottle gourd.

First of all, let us tell you that a kidney patient can consume bottle gourd because it can be digested quickly.

Its consumption helps in the detoxification of the kidneys. Your kidneys stay clean with it....

and your body stays healthy. If kidney patients are provided with same kind of food then...

they might get bored or might think of themselves as more sick.

This is why if you make some changes in patient's diet then it would be good for him.

Today, we will tell you that in how many ways you can include bottle gourd in diet of kidney patients.

Doctors might allow some patients to eat curd according to their reports,

so, such patients can eat a dry dish made up of bottle gourd with curd.

Second is the dish of bottle gourd with gravy. You can eat it if you want.

Some people do not like dry dish. For them, low gravy dish can be prepared.

Bottle gourd dish with gravy is suitable for patients who are allowed to eat rice by the doctors

because they can consume boiled rice with it.

Next is bottle gourd's raita (a side dish made with curd and bottle gourd).

For your information, let us tell you that a patient's diet is decided according to his reports.

This is why, the patients who are allowed by the doctors to eat curd

can boil bottle gourd and make raita out of it.

Next is bottle gourd's kofta. In order to make a change in the diet, kidney patient

can eat bottle gourd's kofta but remember not to deep fry the koftas.

Either bake it or steam it. Next is the bottle gourd's stuffed (bharva) roti.

People might get bored of eating roti and sabzi daily. This is why kidney patient

can bring change in their meal and make bottle gourd's stuffed roti.

This will bring a change in the taste and it will taste good.

So, these are some of the dishes that can be prepared with bottle gourd and consumed by kidney patients.

In addition, kidney patient should keep in mind that

what amount of diet he should consume for which he should consult his doctor or dietitian.
