Diet is not only a culture, but also a way of nourishing the body's health. For patients with kidney disease, diet becomes even more important. Therefore, it is important to treat it with caution in order to better restore health.
Everyone should pay attention to the diet for the nourishment of kidney disease patients. Under the regulation of daily diet, the degree of renal function decline will gradually decrease. Therefore, it is important to emphasize the scientific and rationality of kidney disease diet, as it is an effective treatment for kidney disease. If the daily diet of kidney disease patients can be properly arranged, half of the work of kidney disease treatment can be successfully completed.
[Recommended Foods]
1. Eat light and easily digestible foods.
2. Eat fresh vegetables and moderate amounts of fruit. Drink water appropriately. Watermelon has the effect of promoting kidney function to prevent uremia. It is very effective for people who are prone to edema or have a fever due to nephritis and have difficulty urinating. It can be eaten directly or juiced in summer, but it can make the body cold, so people who are sensitive to cold should not eat too much. Watermelon can also be made into watermelon sugar, which can be consumed during seasons other than summer.
3. Dried broad beans stored for more than three years have a good effect on eliminating edema. It also has the effect of lowering blood pressure, making it most suitable for kidney disease patients. Boil 5 grams of dried broad beans in 600 grams of water until only half of the water remains, divide into three portions, and take on an empty stomach after heating. Boiling broad bean skin soup is very effective for chronic nephritis.
[Forbidden Foods]
1. Eating foods with excessive sodium and alkali can easily cause water retention in the body, leading to edema. Therefore, the intake of sodium and alkali should be controlled for patients with renal edema. A low-sodium diet is considered to be 2-3 grams of salt per person. A salt-free diet is also not scientifically sound and may lead to fatigue, dizziness, etc. over time.
2. For patients with acute nephritis, acute renal failure in oliguric phase, nephrotic syndrome, and chronic renal failure with oliguria and edema, water intake should be controlled. Because if water is drunk but cannot be excreted, water will accumulate in the body, worsening edema and possibly aggravating high blood pressure. In this case, the water intake should be the urine output plus 500 milliliters. After the urine output increases, the water intake can be relaxed.
3. Patients with severe edema should avoid salt, restrict the intake of protein foods, and limit water consumption. For those with mild edema, a low-sodium diet is recommended. For those without edema, there is no need to restrict the intake of water and protein. Those with microscopic hematuria and those prone to internal heat should drink more water.
[Mindset]
Exercise regularly to enhance physical fitness and strengthen the immune system. Maintain a regular schedule and avoid overwork. Maintaining a positive and relaxed mindset plays a major role in the care and well-being of patients. In fact, the maintenance of kidney disease not only requires reminders from kidney disease specialists, but also requires the persistence and self-awareness of kidney disease patients, as well as the active cooperation and supervision of their family members. Only in this way can kidney disease patients live a healthy and effective life. Let's all work together to support your health and strive for it!
