How to treat kidney problems with these 4 points

In recent years, as people's life and work pressures have gradually increased, many people have suffered from kidney problems. So how should people treat their kidney problems? In fact, the treatment for poor kidney function is very simple. You just need to develop the following four good habits.

1. Drink plenty of water

The kidneys are called the "cleaners" of the human body. When the kidneys perform activities such as metabolizing body waste, they need sufficient water to assist. The best time to drink water is: after getting up in the morning, around 10 am, around 3 pm, and before going to bed. It is not advisable to drink water before or after meals. The time to drink water should be 15 minutes before meals, and the interval between drinking water after meals should be longer. The more difficult the food is to digest, the longer the time should be. It should be 30 minutes after eating fruit and 3 hours after eating meat.

2. Eat warm

Dietary foods for kidney yang deficiency include oxtail soup, lamb, and pigeon. Eat some warm foods in autumn and winter. People with kidney yang deficiency should eat foods with warm nature, foods that have the effect of warming yang and dispersing cold, warm tonics instead of light tonics, and foods that are high in calories and rich in nutrition. Avoid eating cold foods, various cold drinks, and various raw and cold fruits.

3. Eat yam

Yam is a very common food on our table, and Chinese medicine points out that yam also has a good kidney-tonifying and health-preserving effect, and can be used as both medicine and food. Therefore, among all kidney-tonifying medicines and foods, yam has always occupied the top position. People with poor kidneys may wish to eat more yam for nourishment in their daily lives.

4. Less salty

In winter, our kidneys are naturally more active. If we are not careful in our diet or consume a lot of salty foods, our kidney energy will become even stronger. Excessive kidney qi can greatly damage the heart, weaken the heart's strength, and thus affect the health of our entire body. Nutrition experts recommend that you eat less salty foods in winter to prevent excessive kidney water; eat more bitter foods to nourish the heart and enhance kidney function. Commonly used foods include: betel nut, orange, pork liver, lamb liver, kohlrabi, lettuce, vinegar, tea, etc.
