1. Limit salt intake
Eating light is very important because salt is excreted from the urine. "If you eat too much salt, you will excrete too much, which requires increasing the blood pressure in the kidneys, which are the most susceptible to hardening.". Eat only 5-6 grams of salt per day. When cooking, choose a measuring spoon for easy control. People often neglect that salted products, seafood, and other condiments also contain salt, which can lead to excessive salt intake.
2. Don't overeat protein
Protein intake should not be excessive. All protein eaten is excreted from the kidneys. If the kidneys do not get a good rest for a long time, they will also die of overwork. So if you have kidney disease, eat less protein. Generally, 0.6 to 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day is preferred, sometimes even lower. Now research has found that soy products have no greater impact on the kidneys than meat, so soy products can also be eaten less.
3. Eat Less Animal Viscera
Over 90% of the causes of gout and hyperuricemia are in the kidneys, which in turn are toxic to the kidneys. Uric acid comes from purine, and high-purine foods include seafood, beef, lamb, beans, and so on. Eat less viscera and other things in moderation.
4. Moderate drinking
Ethanol in alcohol is an organic acid that is excreted from the kidneys. After drinking a large amount of alcohol, if ethanol is to be excreted, uric acid excretion will be relatively reduced. Therefore, people with poor kidneys and high uric acid must refrain from drinking alcohol.
5. Smoke less
"Because nicotine in cigarettes can cause further increases in blood pressure, which can cause significant kidney damage, it is best to quit smoking.". Many people are old smokers who cannot give up smoking for a while, so they need to smoke less.
6. Less than three cups of coffee per day
Coffee is not something you cannot drink. It should be controlled to less than three cups a day. Drinking coffee can cause a rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, and excretion from the kidneys. It can also cause glomerulosclerosis in the kidneys.
