The key to kidney protection in daily life:
1. Actively controlling blood pressure
Nowadays, excessive pressure in daily life and work has led to an increasing age of hypertensive patients, and hypertension can accelerate the development of kidney disease. Therefore, people should pay close attention to changes in blood pressure and strictly control blood pressure.
2. Pay attention to the consumption of vegetables and fruits
If you suffer from chronic kidney dysfunction, you should pay attention to eating vegetables and fruits appropriately to avoid affecting the kidneys. Do not drink too strong vegetable and fruit juice, hot pot soup, or vegetable soup, and prefer a light diet.
3. Don't eat too much meat
If urinary protein is found in the urine and too much meat is consumed, long-term damage to kidney function can occur. The intake of meat and soy products per meal should be controlled at around 0 palm size. The thickness of 5 centimeters should be further reduced for people with chronic nephritis.
4. Adequate sleep
Adequate sleep is also an important guarantee for restoring vitality and energy. No matter how tense your work is or how many worries you have at home, you should rest on time when it's time to go to bed.
5. Pay attention to keeping your waist warm
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that 'the waist is the palace of the kidneys'. Patients should avoid the invasion of wind, cold, and dampness in the waist during cold seasons, and should not catch a cold in the waist during hot summers to avoid kidney damage that may affect or reduce kidney function.
6. Active waist
Regularly engage in waist exercises, which can promote vital energy and tonify the kidneys. You can also do more massage that stimulates the soles of the feet. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the Yongquan acupoint on the soles of the feet is the place where the turbid qi decreases. Regular massage of the Yongquan acupoint can benefit the essence, tonify the kidneys, strengthen the body, prevent premature aging, and soothe the liver and eyes, clear the throat and calm the heart, promote sleep, and increase appetite.
7. Avoid using drugs that can damage the kidneys
Common drugs of this kind include sulfonamides, kanamycin, streptomycin, gentamicin, etc. If medication is needed for the condition, patients can choose medication with minimal renal damage under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, it is important to drink more water during medication to promote drug excretion.
8. Preventing urinary tract infections
With the growth of age, the incidence rate of urinary tract infection will gradually increase, especially in the elderly. This may be related to insufficient renal blood flow and reduced renal resistance in the elderly. Prostate hyperplasia in men is also prone to urinary tract infections, so it should be detected and actively treated as soon as possible. In addition, people who frequently catheterize should also try to avoid the occurrence of urinary tract infections as much as possible.
