[Precautions for Patients with Kidney Deficiency and Frequent Urination]
1. Properly control the intake of salt to help the kidneys maintain water.
2. Avoid foods such as milk, chocolate, oranges, and spicy foods.
3. Patients with frequent urination lose a lot of potassium in their bodies and should consume foods rich in potassium, such as mushrooms, cabbage, beans, peanuts, walnuts, watermelon, and bananas.
4. Avoid eating corn, coix seed, adzuki beans, carp, and watermelon. These foods have a sweet and mild taste and have obvious diuretic effects, which can worsen the condition of enuresis.
5. Drink light salt water and low-concentration sugar water, and do not drink large amounts of high-calorie beverages to prevent excessive calorie intake and rapid weight gain. It is important to note that excessive salt and sugar can cause polydipsia and polyuria, and cold food can weaken the function of the spleen and stomach, which is not beneficial to the kidneys, so it should be avoided.
