Part 1: detoxification through diet
1, drink plenty of water. Take more clean and natural water, which is the most important part of regular detoxification of kidneys. Drinking 10 to 12 glasses of water every day helps to filter out the toxins accumulated in the body. If the urine is not light yellow, but darker, it means it is too strong. Transparent urine means that the detoxification system is clean. Coke, coffee and soda can't replace natural water.
For a long time, many teas and juices have been thought to help the kidneys detoxify. However, from a medical point of view, only pure water has been proved to be beneficial to the kidneys. Many teas and juices do contain beneficial substances such as vitamins and minerals. However, they also contain a lot of caffeine or sugar that is harmful to the kidneys. Therefore, water is still the best choice.
2. Eat more fruits. Fruits and vegetables rich in potassium help to purify the kidneys. Grapes, sweet lemons, oranges, cantaloupes, bananas, kiwis, apricots and plums are all rich in potassium. Milk and yogurt are also rich in potassium. Incorporating these fruits into the daily diet will help maintain the electrolyte level in the blood and make the kidneys work in the best condition.
It is known that a glass of grape juice every morning or noon can remove excess uric acid (a by-product of metabolism, filtered by the kidney and excreted).
Take a balanced intake of potassium needed by the body. Excessive potassium can lead to hyperkalemia, which may lead to death or cardiac arrest in severe cases. Patients with kidney disease (such as renal failure) can't take too much potassium. Healthy people can consume no more than 4.7 grams of potassium every day.
3. Don't forget the berries! Berries such as cranberries help purify the kidneys. It contains quinine, which will be converted into hippuric acid after liver metabolism. Hippuric acid helps remove excess urea and uric acid from the kidneys. Drinking 1 cup of cranberry juice every day is enough to purify the kidneys. Scientific research has confirmed that cranberries also have antibacterial function, which is very effective in treating and preventing urinary tract infections.
4. Eat more barley. Barley is another very beneficial grain, which can purify the kidney and prevent kidney damage caused by out-of-control diabetes. Note that barley can't cure kidney disease, and you need to cooperate with other methods to keep the kidney working in the best condition. Barley is a whole grain food. You can replace refined flour with barley flour and include barley in your diet. Another way to increase barley intake is to soak a handful of barley in water at night and drink the water immediately after waking up the next morning. Doing so can purify and repair toxins accumulated in the kidneys.
Regular intake of barley also helps to maintain creatinine levels. If you have diabetes, it can reduce creatinine to normal levels.
5. Stay away from alcohol, caffeine and chocolate. Although scientists are still not sure about this, you may need to avoid foods such as alcohol, caffeine, chocolate, nuts and processed foods. They are not only harmful to the kidneys, but also to the overall health. Whether you want to help the kidneys detoxify or not, it's best to limit the intake of these foods. Of course, you have to know that no research can provide conclusive evidence to support the above statement. So far, scientists have not reached a conclusion on this view.
6. Don't take too much protein. The only thing that has been proved to be harmful to the kidneys is high-protein food. It's rare to hear people say that, is it? Protein is bad for kidneys because they produce the most useless by-product in the process of digestion and metabolism, that is, creatinine. So doctors need to measure creatinine in patients with kidney disease. If the creatinine value rises, there must be something wrong with the filtration and excretion function of the kidney. Therefore, in order to reduce creatinine, please eat less protein. KDOQI, a subsidiary of American Kidney Foundation (NFK), has developed a clinical practice guide and recommendations for diabetes and chronic kidney disease. Adults with kidney disease (such as chronic renal failure) should limit their intake of protein, and only take 0.8g of protein per kg of body weight every day. That is to say, an adult male weighing 60kg can only consume 48g of protein every day, which is roughly equivalent to a pork chop and a piece of cheese!
Please consult a doctor first. Protein is a very important nutrition, and most people should not completely ignore protein.
7. Try to quit smoking. Smoking can cause high blood pressure, which can lead to kidney problems. In addition, smoking has many health hazards, so it will be helpful to quit smoking if you want to make your body healthier and detoxify better.
Part 2: Alternative Medicine Therapy
1, try to ingest dandelion. Dandelion is a kind of herbal medicine, which is used as an additive in the preparation of many foods, such as salad, condiment, tea, coffee and chocolate. Dandelion is rich in potassium, which has similar diuretic effect, helps the body to discharge excess water, and is very useful for increasing urination. Dandelion has a purifying effect. Taking 10 to 15 drops of dandelion mother tincture three times a day can help the kidneys to detoxify, and it can be safely taken for up to 6 months.
2. Try taking bear fruit. This natural supplement can effectively help the kidneys to detoxify and repair tissue inflammation and damage caused by infection or kidney calculi. It contains arbutin (a glycoside) with antibacterial effect, so it can help treat urinary tract infections. The effect of bear fruit goes far beyond this! It acts like a muscle relaxant and can eliminate urinary tract or muscle swelling. It can also neutralize the acidic substances in urine and reduce the burning sensation caused by infection.
Generally speaking, bear fruit is a supplement that can be taken safely. However, patients who are taking antipsychotic drugs must use bear fruit with caution, because it will hinder the body from discharging lithium salt, which may lead to excessive lithium salt in the blood, resulting in poisoning or death. If you have other diseases and want to detoxify your kidneys, please use bear fruit with caution.
3. consider taking thorns. This traditional Indian herb can promote kidney health and is very useful for recurrent urinary tract infections and kidney calculi. It helps to keep urine smooth, relieve urethral membrane, help to cool down, and thus relieve pain. In addition, it also has antibacterial effect and can help treat bladder infection. Take/kloc-0 capsules or 2 capsules every day to make the kidneys work normally.
4. Consider taking Berberis europaea. It is understood that this traditional herb can be discharged from kidney calculi. In homeopathy, the mother tincture (Berberis Vulgaris) made from Berberis europaea has helped countless patients to relieve renal colic without surgery. However, the size of the stone must be smaller than the diameter of the urethra, otherwise the epithelial cells of the urethra may be damaged when the body tries to excrete it. Add 10 to 15 drops of mother tincture to a little water and take it three times a day. Usually, stones can be excreted within a few weeks.
Part 3: Seek medical treatment.
1 If you have symptoms of kidney disease, you should see a doctor. If you are worried about your kidney problems, you must receive medical diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. See a doctor immediately if you have the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting or loss of appetite.
Fatigue, weakness or insomnia
Dysuria or changes in urine volume
Muscle twitching or cramping
lack of concentration
Swelling of feet or ankles
itchy skin
Chest pain or shortness of breath
2. If there is pain in the kidney, please seek medical attention as soon as possible. Kidney pain may be a sign of kidney calculi's disease, infection or other serious complications. If you have persistent pain, fever, body pain, fatigue or nausea and vomiting on one side or back, please go to the hospital immediately. Tell the doctor whether you have had a urinary tract infection recently. If you suddenly have severe kidney pain, or the pain is accompanied by hematuria, please call 120 emergency number or go to the emergency department immediately.
3. Consult a doctor before changing your diet. The dietary needs of patients with kidney disease are different from those of healthy people. Therefore, before changing your diet, you should discuss your kidney health with your doctor to determine which foods are safe and beneficial to you. For example, it is beneficial for most people to increase the potassium intake in their diet, which can prevent the formation of kidney calculi. But for patients with kidney disease, eating foods with high potassium content may be harmful.
4. Consult a doctor before taking herbs and supplements. Be sure to discuss the possible risks and benefits with your doctor before taking any diet, supplements or herbs. Some supplements may have dangerous interactions with drugs, and if you have kidney disease, they may make your condition worse. Consult your doctor to see if the supplement you want to take is safe or beneficial to your health. Before taking supplements, please list any prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins or supplements you are taking to your doctor.
Tell your doctor if you have any other health problems, because this may also affect the safety of the supplement.
5. Strictly follow the doctor's advice. If you are diagnosed with or at risk of kidney disease, you should always consult your doctor to ensure that your condition is under control. As suggested, you should always see a doctor for examination and laboratory tests. If the symptoms change or any other new diseases appear, you should call your doctor at any time. Take any medicine according to the doctor's advice and strictly follow the doctor's treatment advice at home.
They may advise you to change your diet and lifestyle and receive medication at the same time.
Tip When it comes to kidney detoxification, only two things are certain, that is, avoiding high-protein food and drinking more water.
