This year's dog days are a bit long. Although they haven't yet arrived, autumn has already begun, and the temperature difference between day and night has begun to change. This is an important season for kidney patients to maintain their kidneys. Due to the weak regulatory ability of kidney disease patients, it is difficult to quickly adapt to sudden changes in the solar terms. Therefore, dietary adjustments should be made to quickly adapt to changes in the solar terms in order to avoid worsening the condition.
This season, it is recommended that kidney disease patients should prioritize vegetarianism with meat as a supplement, pay attention to a reasonable combination of meat and vegetable diets, and consume nutrients and minerals reasonably, which can help achieve ideal therapeutic effects.
Dry climate to avoid thirst
After the beginning of autumn, the climate becomes very dry, and a low salt diet can effectively reduce the symptoms of thirst in patients. Adding lemon slices or ice cubes when drinking water can also have a better thirst quenching effect. For kidney disease patients who can only consume a small amount of fluid every day, it is also important to pay attention to saving fluid consumption, which has certain economic benefits. Chewing sugar free gum can stimulate saliva production and reduce thirst. Avoid drinking strong tea, which will accelerate the intestinal lipid metabolism and reduce the hunger tolerance of the human body, especially for patients with diabetes and kidney disease, who are prone to hunger and thirst, so it is recommended that patients with kidney disease choose pure water to drink.
Temperature difference between morning and evening to prevent colds
In autumn, the climate is dry and gradually decreasing, with a large temperature difference between morning and evening. Kidney disease patients may experience cold and respiratory symptoms due to weak kidney qi and poor resistance. Especially for elderly patients, their adaptability and tolerance to climate change are poor, and their chances of infection are high. So, it is important to keep warm, add or remove clothing, prevent colds, and improve the body's adaptability to climate change.
Autumn has arrived, pay attention to your diet
Strictly control potassium intake. The most common problem for uremic patients is hyperkalemia, which is due to insufficient kidney function in excreting potassium, resulting in potassium excretion disorders and greatly affecting the condition. Therefore, kidney disease patients need a low potassium diet and strict control of potassium intake.
Adhere to a low sodium diet. Excessive intake of sodium salts can exacerbate swelling in kidney disease patients, directly leading to increased blood pressure and thirst in dialysis patients with renal failure. Patients should prioritize light seasonings in their daily diet and reduce the use of high sodium seasonings such as salt, monosodium glutamate, or various sauces. Avoid high salt side dishes such as plum vegetables, salt and other auxiliary dishes. When choosing canned vegetables, soak them in clean water instead of soaking them in salt water. To ensure a low sodium diet that is not monotonous and has a single flavor, dry seasoning can be used as an auxiliary seasoning, such as pepper powder, prickly ash, sesame pepper, vinegar, wine, five spice powder, star anise, vanilla, tangerine peel, mustard, ginger and scallion, garlic, etc.
Don't sit casually when you come back from outside
When I returned from my trip, I was covered in a large amount of dust with complex components, including the discharge of shed skin, hair, and phlegm from the human body; There are also animal and plant components such as various pollen and hairs; Smoke and smoke containing fuel and cigarette fuel; Drops formed by human breathing, coughing, and sneezing; There is dust generated by friction between building materials and the ground, so after returning home from outside, do not sit or lie on the bed with clothes to avoid dust pollution of bedding and affecting human health.
Autumn sleepiness, don't be lazy
Spring is tired, autumn is sleepy, and summer is drowsy. At this time, don't be lazy. You should often bask in the sun, ventilate the room, and increase cardiovascular exercise in areas with sufficient oxygen content, such as deep breathing, chest enlargement, and jogging. Going to bed early and getting up late is also beneficial for brain activity.
For patients with chronic kidney disease, walking exercise should also be done in moderation. Those with poor physical fitness can walk slowly and for a short time; Those who are physically strong can walk quickly, and the time is faster. If it is walking in the forest and park, it is more ideal. Not only does it exercise the body, but it also cultivates sentiment, brings joy to the mind, and is beneficial for the recovery of diseases.
