Wang Qiang, a 35-year-old IT engineer, is busy in front of the computer every day. Heavy work pressure, irregular work and rest times, and eating habits made his body gradually turn red.
Frequent urination and urgency became the last straw that crushed his health.
Under the severe criticism of his wife, Wang Qiang decided to go to the hospital to check his physical condition.
After a series of blood and urine tests, doctors diagnosed Wang Qiang with chronic kidney disease. This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Wang Qiang, who never thought that he would get this disease.
He asked the doctor, "I always thought that my lifestyle was healthy, how could I get kidney disease?" Is it because you usually eat too many sweets? "
Can't you touch any sweetness in kidney disease?
There are many causes of chronic kidney disease, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, nephritis, nephrotoxic drugs, etc.
Bad lifestyle habits, such as staying up late for a long time, improper diet, lack of exercise, etc., can also increase the burden on the kidneys.
As for sweets, eating them in moderation will not directly cause kidney disease, but if consumed in excess, it will increase the risk of obesity and diabetes, and indirectly affect kidney health.
Wang Qiang anxiously asked the doctor what he should do, how to recuperate, and what matters to pay attention to in daily life.
The doctor patiently analyzed a few points for him:
Quitting smoking and limiting alcohol is a top priority, as tobacco and alcohol can put a strain on the kidneys.
In terms of diet, it is necessary to eat less high-salt and high-fat foods and control protein intake.
People with kidney disease should pay special attention to three types of foods: foods high in potassium, foods rich in purines, and fermented foods.
Why should patients with kidney disease pay special attention to these 3 types of foods?
Foods high in potassium such as bananas, oranges, potatoes, etc., which are consumed too much by patients with renal insufficiency, will lead to an increase in blood potassium, which is life-threatening.
Foods rich in purines, such as animal offal and seafood, will increase the production of uric acid and increase the burden on the kidneys.
Fermented foods, such as fermented bean curd and sauerkraut, contain more phosphorus, which is also not good for the health of patients with kidney disease.
The doctor also advised Wang Qiang to insist on moderate exercise, which can help control blood pressure, blood sugar, and reduce the burden on the kidneys.
But when exercising, you should do what you can to avoid excessive fatigue.
Get enough sleep and stay up late.
Regular check-ups and medication adjustments are also key to controlling the condition.
Wang Qiang is determined to get rid of bad habits that harm his kidneys. After several months of hard work, his kidney function indicators gradually stabilized.
Prevention is better than cure, and a good lifestyle is essential for kidney health.
The kidneys are an important detoxification organ in the human body, and once damaged, the consequences are unimaginable. However, the early stages of kidney disease often have no obvious symptoms and are easily overlooked. By the time symptoms such as urinary frequency, urgency, and edema appear, the condition may already be more serious. Therefore, to prevent kidney disease, we must start from daily drips.
We need to learn to monitor ourselves and check our kidney function regularly. Once an abnormality is found, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time and strictly follow the doctor's instructions for treatment.
Many people may feel that it is difficult to stick to a controlled diet and keep exercising, but if you imagine that once the kidneys are damaged, you will face endless dialysis and medication, and the quality of life will be greatly reduced, you will understand the importance of prevention.
In life, we must learn to "detoxify" our body.
No matter how busy you are at work, you must give yourself a complete sleep time;
No matter how good your appetite is, you must learn to control your cravings;
No matter how difficult it is to keep exercising, you must give yourself a healthy body.
Remember, only by taking care of your body can you have a happy life.
Kidney health should not be neglected. From now on, let's take care of our "detoxification organs" with practical actions, so that health can become the most precious wealth in our lives.
The prevention of kidney disease starts with you and me, and we work together to create a healthy and beautiful tomorrow.
