Five key points for daily kidney protection
1. The human body is undergoing metabolism all the time. The body continuously absorbs various nutrients and produces a series of waste and harmful substances that the human body does not need. The kidneys excrete these harmful substances through urine to regulate the body's water, electrolyte and acid-base balance and maintain normal life activities. Therefore, to stay healthy and delay aging, kidney function should be protected, which is especially important for middle-aged and elderly people.
2. Drinking more water in daily life can help the body excrete waste produced by metabolism, reduce the concentration of toxic substances in the kidneys, and avoid kidney damage. When a person is sick and has a fever, due to increased metabolism, the production of waste and toxic substances will also increase. At this time, you should drink more water to help excretion.
3. Prevent urinary tract infections. The incidence of urinary tract infections increases with age, especially in the elderly. This may be related to insufficient renal blood flow and reduced renal resistance in the elderly. Prostatic hyperplasia in men and pelvic diseases in women can easily cause urinary tract infections, so they should be discovered in time and treated actively. Frequent catheterization or indwelling urinary catheters in clinical practice can easily cause infection, so their use should be avoided as much as possible.
4. Be careful of drugs that damage the kidneys. There are many drugs that can damage the kidneys, such as sulfonamides, kanamycin, streptomycin, etc. These drugs should be used with caution. If you are sick and need to use it, you should choose drugs with less damage to the kidneys under the guidance of a doctor. You should also drink plenty of water during the medication.
5. Control blood pressure. The renal arteries of the elderly often have intimal thickening, and high blood pressure can accelerate the occurrence and development of these lesions. Therefore, medication should be taken on time to control elevated blood pressure.
6. Keep your waist warm and do not sleep in the cold on hot days. In particular, you should not sleep naked on wooden boards or stone slabs. In the cold season, you should pay attention to keeping your waist warm to avoid wind and cold attacks, which may damage the kidneys and affect or reduce kidney function.
