Five types of people should not eat tofu in daily life

　　1.elderly

　　Whether it is tofu or other soy products, they contain a large amount of plant protein. These substances will be called nitrogenous waste after the metabolic changes of the human body, and are finally excreted by the kidneys. But as we age, our kidneys' ability to excrete waste begins to decline. At this time, if we don't pay attention to our diet and still consume a large amount of soy products, it will lead to excessive intake of plant-based protein, which will lead to an increase in the production of nitrogenous waste in the body.

　　Once nitrogen-containing waste increases, it will increase the burden on the kidneys, leading to further decline in kidney function, which is very detrimental to the health of the elderly. healthy . Therefore, experts suggest that the elderly should reduce their intake of soy products as much as possible to ensure the normal function of the kidneys.

　　2. Peptic ulcer

　　Patients with peptic ulcer should also try to eat as little soy products as possible in their daily lives. In particular, patients with severe peptic ulcers should avoid eating soy products. This is because soy products contain a large amount of purine, which has the effect of secreting gastric juice. If gastric juice is secreted in large quantities, it will irritate the gastric mucosa and lead to aggravation of ulcers.

　　In addition, whole soy foods also contain a large amount of dietary fiber, which can cause mechanical damage to the gastric mucosa. In addition, the oligosaccharides contained in soy foods, such as stachyose and raffinose, will produce some gas after being fermented by intestinal bacteria, causing us to experience belching, borborygmus, bloating, stomach ache and other symptoms.

　　3.Gastritis

　　As for who should not eat tofu, patients with gastritis should also avoid eating tofu. Especially some patients with acute gastritis and chronic superficial gastritis should not eat soy foods in their daily diet, and they should also not eat soy products such as soy milk and tofu. Once consumed, it will stimulate gastric acid secretion and cause flatulence.

　　4.Kidney disease

　　Patients suffering from nephritis, renal failure and renal dialysis should pay attention to adopting a low-protein diet in daily life so as not to increase the burden on the kidneys. At the same time, in order to ensure the basic needs of the body, patients should also choose an appropriate amount of foods rich in essential amino acids and low in non-essential amino acids within a limited range.

　　Compared with animal protein, plant proteins in soy foods contain higher amounts of non-essential amino acids. Therefore, patients with kidney disease should avoid eating soy foods in their daily lives.

　　5. Diabetes

　　Faced with the question of who should not eat tofu, patients with diabetes also need to pay attention. These patients also cannot eat tofu. Especially for some patients with diabetes caused by kidney disease, the main cause of death for these patients is diabetic nephropathy. Therefore, when patients experience urea nitrogen retention, they must stop eating soy products in time.
