Friends let us know about the fruit that is eaten with so much passion in India, even then

many people may have not eaten it ever. It has so many names, such as custard

apple or shareefa. It is a green -color fruit that has pulp in it and many

types of seeds. It is a seasonal fruit and mainly found as the

winter comes. See, we have already told you in the earlier videos

that there are various types of fruits and vegetables that a person can

make a part of his diet. But, if a person is under the guidance of renal-diet, then he should be strictly

careful of the things that are good for him or the things that

will worsen his kidney problems. Every kidney patients'

disease varies according to the stage of CKD and based on the stage depends

what types of minerals are accumulating inside the body. He should not eat such things

that may exceed the already leveled up minerals in his body. The seasonal

fruit custard apple is always in question that can a kidney patient eat

this fruit or not. Friends, first of all, in kidney disease, you should

stay away from the fruits. All the nutrients that you get from fruits can also

be consumed from vegetables. And if you eat vegetables rightly, it will not harm you.

But there are some benefits of custard apple, first being that it is

a rich source of antioxidants and vitamin C that

separates the free radicals from your body. Free radicals are the substances that rub off with oxygen

and slowly destroys your cells. The sooner the cells

get aged, the more you will become weak. In addition

the great benefit of vitamin C is that it strengthens your immune system

With this, you are being helped in fighting various infections and bacteria.

During kidney disease, this thing is quite essential because at that time

your immune system gets weakened and your kidneys

progressively move towards damage. With the help of custard apple your anemia also gets treated.

Anemia is a severe complication of kidney disease that develops

when the kidneys are not able to process iron completely. The iron in your blood

starts reducing slowly and it levels dropped down in the blood.

After this, the blood is not able to transport oxygen to various parts

This deficiency of iron can be met with the help of custard

apple. Eating in a good amount will help increase the production of red blood cells

As soon as the RBCs are formed, the blood flow increases and

the blood will be able to transport oxygen with ease. The other benefit of custard apple

is that it has too much fiber. Fiber is needed in your body when

the bowel system is not working properly. This sweet and delicious fruit can

help a lot in your digestion. It gives your body

dietary fiber in the maximum amount and your bowel function

gets improved and so your body does not get constipation.

There are various other benefits of it, such as it has vitamins A and B6. But

the worst thing about custard apple is that it has too much potassium. Those kidney patients

whose kidney disease has advanced have too much

potassium in their body. This potassium mixes in your blood reaches your heart

and you may have to suffer from a heart-attack. Those patients should keep custard apple

at bay because this much potassium can potentially cause you sudden heart-attack

and this may also take your life. The second reason why you should not consume custard apple is

that it is too sweetened. If you have diabetes along with the kidney disease, then this can be dangerous for you.

Even consuming a single custard apple will raise your blood sugar level to an extent that

it will further pressurize your kidneys. During kidney disease, the rise in the

blood sugar level is not good for you. The less pressurized your kidneys

get is good for you. Even though the custard apple has too much benefit, you

can only consume custard apple in the starting stage only. And if your kidneys have progressed

to the late stages, then you should stay away from it. There is quite a long list of what to eat and

what not to. In such a situation, it is necessary that you consult your dietician
