Oxidizing diet: description
An oxidizing diet is a nutritional system based on the consumption of foods that increase the acidity of urine. This method is often used in the treatment of kidney and urinary tract diseases such as pyelonephritis and phosphaturia.
The principle of the oxidizing diet is that foods high in acids and alkalis change the acid-base balance of urine, helping to remove excess phosphates and other substances from the body that can accumulate in the kidneys and urinary tract.
Products that are part of the oxidizing diet:
Bread: rye, whole grain, bran.
Meat: beef, pork, lamb.
Eggs: chicken, quail.
Vegetables: beets, carrots, cabbage, cucumbers.
Fruits: apples, pears, bananas.
Fermented milk products: kefir, cottage cheese, yogurt.
Drinks: tea, coffee, juices.
It is important to remember that an oxidizing diet is not an independent method of treatment, but only complements the main therapy. Before starting a diet, you should consult your doctor and make sure there are no contraindications.
Oxidizing diet and contraindications to its use
An oxidizing (alkalinizing) diet is a dietary diet that consists of consuming foods that increase the acidity of urine and remove excess alkaline bases from the body. It is recommended for low urine acidity or phosphate, for example, with pyelocystitis. An oxidizing diet can also be used to treat diabetes.
Alkalinization of urine is a measure to stimulate the metabolism of phosphorus-containing compounds, such as ammonium phosphate, which can contribute to the development of urolithiasis and stone formation.
