The summer heat means increased thirst, which is a challenge for anyone with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis treatment who needs to restrict their fluid intake. A diet that includes low-sodium foods can help reduce thirst, so here is a list.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
8 low-sodium foods to reduce thirst:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n 1. Low-potassium fruits eaten fresh or frozen and chopped.<\/strong>\u00a0Try frozen grapes, pear slices, or a well-chilled peeled apple, or a handful of frozen red berries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n 2. Lemon or lime slices added to ice water.<\/strong>\u00a0The acidity of lemon or lime stimulates saliva, which helps relieve dry mouth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n 3. Cold, crunchy, low-potassium vegetables.<\/strong>\u00a0 Try very thin, fresh slices of cucumber, carrot, celery, or radish.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n 4. Fresh mint. <\/strong>The flavor of mint added to salads, drinks, or other dishes refreshes the mouth, as do sugar-free mint-flavored mints or candies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n 5. Sour candies\/sweets. <\/strong> Not everyone feels the same way, but eating sour candies actually activates the salivary glands, moistening the mouth almost immediately. You should choose options without added sugar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n 6. Gelatin. <\/strong>Eat small spoonfuls of flavored gelatin, as it lasts longer than a sip of water. Make gelatin with twice the usual concentration and eat it as if it were a solid snack, never forgetting that it also counts as liquid in the total daily allowance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n 7. Cold soup.<\/strong> Prepare a cold soup low in sodium and potassium to nourish and refresh you from the inside out.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n 8. Flavored ice. <\/strong>Make ice by freezing lemonade made with peel, juice (without pulp or carbonation), or tea\/infusion in an ice cube tray. Suck or chew on a cube slowly to quench your thirst without drinking.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" O calor do ver\u00e3o significa mais sede, um desafio para qualquer pessoa com doen\u00e7a renal…<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":61104,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[347],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61103","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nutricao"],"yoast_head":"\n
