In three days is the Lunar New Year, in order to rejoice in the New Year, nutrition doctors come to send tips for kidney friends, master these keywords, let you be healthy and worry-free, let's take a look at ~
Control water intake
One of the important functions of the kidneys is the excretion of metabolic waste. Water is an essential nutrient for the human body, drinking water is conducive to the formation of urine, and metabolic waste in the body is excreted with urine. In addition to the water contained in food, adults generally need to drink 1500-1700 ml of water per day, but for some kidney friends, the amount of water should follow the urine output + 500 ml (inspicuous dehydration), that is, including all liquid foods.
Control of alcoholic beverages
Sugar and ethanol in drinks and alcohol can produce energy, in the cold winter, let people have a "warm" feeling, but these two are not friendly to the kidneys, kidney friends should pay special attention to avoid drinking.
"Sugar" is the main ingredient in many beverages, such as a can (330ml) of ordinary cola, containing nearly 9 small sugar cubes, about 35 grams, according to the 2016 edition of the "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents", adults and children do not consume more than 50 grams of added sugars per day, preferably limited to 25 grams.
Beware of the "three highs" diet
The "three highs", namely high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high blood lipids, are a vicious circle and a war of mutual "harm" for patients with kidney disease.
Kidney friends should pay attention to high-sugar, high-salt, high-fat foods, in addition to sugary drinks, all kinds of holiday desserts should also eat less.
Increased salt intake is not only associated with sodium and water retention, high blood pressure, but also increases proteinuria. Therefore, remember that the taste is light, in general, the daily intake of salt (sodium salt) should not exceed 6 grams.
Lipids, mainly refer to saturated fats. A high-fat, often high-cholesterol diet, will not only aggravate the existing kidney damage in patients with kidney disease, but also affect the kidneys of normal people. Studies have confirmed that lipid deposition in blood vessels can cause lumen narrowing, damage to vascular endothelial cells, resulting in renal ischemia, atrophy, interstitial fiber hyperplasia and other problems.
Therefore, when you encounter the temptation of thick oil and red sauce and sweet soup in the festival, pay attention to the chopsticks in your hand and eat it in moderation!
Don't let your weight jump
Lifestyles such as poor diet, lack of activity, smoking and alcohol consumption can increase the risk of obesity, which itself can increase the risk of kidney dysfunction. For people who are severely overweight, their glomerular filtration rate is significantly increased to meet the metabolic needs of weight gain. Long-term high-load operation can lead to glomerular fibrosis, hardening, and end-stage renal disease.
Be wary of drug abuse
During the festival, visit relatives and friends, travel, fatigue and other factors, increase the opportunity of colds, allergies, infections and other opportunities, such as the general cold, drink more water, pay attention to rest, can heal themselves.
If you take the drug, remember to take the drug under the guidance of the doctor, and do not use the unknown, overdosing, and over-frequency medication without authorization! Avoid drug-induced kidney damage.
