The kidneys are the body’s natural filter, which works daily to cleanse the blood. During the day, it can pass through 200-300 or more liters of blood, from the total volume of which toxins and other harmful substances are removed. For this reason, it is important to know what helps your kidneys stay healthy and perform their full functions.
It is not for nothing that the kidneys are one of the most important organs of cleansing the body - they perform five main functions at once that determine the functioning of all systems and organs. When kidney function is disrupted, problems arise in various areas of health, including the appearance of a person - swelling, dullness of the skin, yellow circles under the eyes, frequent rashes and inflammation on the epidermis. Deviations in the functioning of the kidneys lead to the development of urolithiasis, difficulty urinating, intoxication of the whole body, and deterioration of oxygen supply to all organs.
1. Excretory. Through this function of the kidneys, toxins and harmful substances are removed from the blood, among which are protein processing products, components that are no longer needed in metabolism to nourish the organs. In addition, the tissues get rid of excess water, salts, urea and ammonia. Thanks to the excretory function of the kidneys, the optimal functioning of all systems is maintained.
2. Homeostatic. Responsible for normalizing blood volumes and the amount of intercellular fluid, which is also a factor in maintaining optimal functioning of the lymphatic system - with normal functioning, the level of tissue swelling decreases.
3. Metabolic. If any process in the kidneys is disrupted, then the entire metabolism suffers, because this organ is involved in the processing of fats and carbohydrates, as well as in the conversion of vitamin D into its active form - vitamin D3. The kidneys help in the breakdown of peptide compounds and amino acids, which means their work directly determines how resistant your body is in the fight against free radicals and the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation.
4. Endocrine. Without optimal kidney function, the synthesis of important substances in hormonal metabolism is impossible. These include: calcitriol, renin, prostaglandins (blood pressure regulators) and erythropoietin.
5. Protective and one of the most important, since it represents the neutralization of harmful substances entering the body, including those formed as a result of the decomposition of alcohol, drugs, and medications. In particular, we are talking about synthetic drugs and dietary supplements. But precisely because of this active protective activity, human kidneys are very vulnerable and require serious preventive measures to protect them.
Good kidney function depends entirely on human actions. It is much easier to prevent diseases in this area than to treat them, especially since a number of diseases can remain for many years, developing into a chronic form - then you literally have to learn to live with this ailment.
To protect your kidneys from negative effects, you should adhere to the following rules.
1. Drink in the required amount in a timely manner. If you are thirsty, drink. Do not measure the amount of water without following any special recommendations from your doctor, as the body itself signals that it does not have enough water. The situation is different if you have eaten a lot of protein or sweets with carbonated drinks. On the one hand, you won’t seem to feel very thirsty, but, nevertheless, water is necessary for processing protein and removing large amounts of sugar from the body. The best option is to always have a small bottle of drinking water with you.
2. Mineral water. It’s worth talking about it separately. The high content of minerals and salts in this product makes it medicinal. Drinking this water is harmless to the kidneys as long as you stick to a reasonable limit of 1-2 bottles per week. With constant consumption in unlimited quantities, mineral water can provoke the formation of kidney stones and worsen the process of urination. Drinking water with various additives, which are now actively used by some manufacturers, should also not be consumed, as it complicates the functioning of the kidneys.
3. Reduce sweet and salty foods. A serious blow to the kidneys is excessive consumption of factory-made sweets, canned food, smoked meats and sausages. Often these foods are the cause of inflammation in the kidneys, disturbances in the water-salt balance, and an increase in blood sugar due to the inability of the kidneys to remove it from the body in time.
4. Quit alcohol and smoking. Bad habits of this kind greatly wear out the kidneys, since they have to quickly remove toxic substances from the blood. Immediately after the organ copes with the task, dehydration occurs and inflammation begins, which leads to the formation of concentrated urine and discomfort when urinating. For this reason, smokers need to regularly maintain water balance in the body!
5. Regular preventive examinations by a nephrologist.
6. Compliance with the principles of healthy eating.
7. Moderate physical activity, exercise. Particularly important when constantly working while sitting. It is important to stretch the lumbar region, bend over, and squat to avoid fat deposits in this area and prevent the possible occurrence of pain.
The most important help for your kidneys is compliance with all the above rules, that is, the prevention of diseases of the urinary system. If some ailments have affected you, then first you should pay attention to giving up bad habits and correcting your diet. If you smoke and are a frequent guest at alcoholic parties, you should take care of additional resources for your kidneys so that they can actively remove toxins from the body. To do this, juicy vegetables and fruits should be added to the diet, as well as products that neutralize the effects of harmful chemicals obtained from the processing of tar, nicotine and other components that make up cigarettes. Such products include almost all melons (melons, watermelons), cucumbers, tomatoes, celery, parsley, including its root, seaweed, apples, plums, blueberries, lingonberries, cranberries, sea buckthorn, currants, honeysuckle. It is good to normalize kidney function by eating more cabbage, broccoli, dill, carrots, beets and sweet peppers. The latter must be of domestic production, since foreign vegetables are often grown with very harmful synthetic fertilizers. Don't forget about foods such as shrimp and sea fish.
Herbal teas and infusions will be an additional help. If you suffer from difficulty urinating, you should not drink strong black or even green tea, and you should not drink coffee. But you can replace them with a decoction of currant leaves, mint and strawberries - an excellent alternative for kidney health and good mood! Do not ignore infusions of medicinal chamomile, lingonberry, sage and lemon balm - they gently cleanse the kidney channels and reduce inflammation, improving urine flow.
Correct position while sleeping will also help. Kidney pain can be caused by the kidneys being regularly pinched due to regular sitting or standing throughout the day and very little physical activity. To give your kidneys freedom, you need to take a comfortable position. To do this, you need to lie on your back, bend your knees so that your lower back completely touches the surface of the bed, and relax. For some time this position may be accompanied by an unpleasant and even painful sensation, but gradually it will pass. You can also get on all fours and lower yourself onto your elbows, giving your kidneys more freedom - stay in this position for several minutes.
Eat sour cream more often, a source of methionine. The kidney glomeruli are built from it. Do not exclude absolutely fatty foods. Excluding fat from food is dangerous for the kidneys. Make sure that the body receives a sufficient amount of vitamin B3, which neutralizes poisons in the body. There is a lot of it in rice, barley, millet.
Regarding watermelon rinsing, watermelons should be fresh, crispy, and not stuffed with chemicals, otherwise, instead of a therapeutic effect, you will get the opposite. Eat watermelons with good rye bread, then the effect will be excellent.
• For pyelonephritis, propolis can be used as an anti-inflammatory . It is best in the form of propolis oil. To do this, we take good propolis, so that it is free of wax impurities and has a good specific smell. To grind it, keep it in the refrigerator, then grate it on a fine grater. Take 200 grams of good butter, melt it in a water bath, add 30 grams of grated propolis, stirring, dissolving it in the butter. Strain through one layer of gauze and store in the refrigerator. This way you will get 15% propolis oil. (For tuberculosis, traditional healers may recommend 30% propolis oil.) Take 1 teaspoon before meals, 10-15 minutes before meals. The healing power of such propolis is very great, pain stops, sand formation stops, and the gastrointestinal tract is healed. Calmness sets in in digestion, and there is some confidence in a successful outcome. This treatment is in no way comparable to antibiotics. Although I do not recommend ignoring traditional medicine. The disease is too serious. All types of treatment must be used. Propolis, due to its antimicrobial effects, even destroys Koch's bacillus (tuberculosis) within 4 hours after administration.
• There is such an amazing herb “sex-sex”, it is not just a diuretic, but also regulates metabolism in the body. It restores and heals our kidneys. You need to take a tablespoon of herbs, brew boiling water, and leave. Drink 1 teaspoon three times a day. The course of treatment is 1 month. However, look, if there are no complications, you can increase the dose per dose, but so that the organs work. I mean the kidneys. Liver, intestines, there were no complications from the cardiovascular system.
• If you suffer from sandy kidneys, then flaxseed may help you. Take 1 teaspoon of flaxseed, pour a glass of boiling water, infuse and cool. Drink before meals. Flaxseed cleanses the gastrointestinal tract, relieves spasms and helps sick kidneys, acts as a diuretic, and relieves pain.
• You need to remember that you need to drink any herbs when there is no exacerbation..
• There is a folk method of cleansing the kidneys, gall bladder, and liver using beet syrup.
To do this, we take two heads of beets, chop them, fill them with water and boil them for a long, long time. This makes beet syrup. We drink 50 grams of it, three times a day, before meals. The treatment is long-term, you need to drink it for 2-3... or even five months. This helps dissolve the stones. But the most important thing is the prevention of stone formation, both in the kidneys and in the gall bladder.
Including lemon, grapefruit, orange. Juice is being made. You just need to dilute this juice with boiled water 4-5 times, since the acids are very aggressive and can damage the gastrointestinal tract.

Herbs for kidney failure were recommended to me at the hospital
I am 57 years old and have kidney failure. The last time I was in the hospital, the doctor wrote down recipes for two herbal infusions. Mixture: black elderberry bark – 100 g, cornflower flowers – 50 g, parsley root – 50 g; 1 tbsp. spoon of the mixture in 2 glasses of water, evaporate until half and take 30 - 40 ml 3 times a day. Second mixture: tricolor violet herb - 15 g, calendula flowers - 15 g, hernia grass - 10 g, black poplar buds - 5 g; 1 tbsp. spoon per glass of boiling water, leave for an hour and take 1 dess. spoon 4 times a day 15 - 20 minutes before meals and for a long time before bedtime. I take it along with medications to enhance the effect. I note that there is an effect, in any case, at least the herbs smooth out the effect of the drugs on the liver. This may not be said correctly, but that's how I feel.

Help with advice. My kidneys failed. A year ago I suffered a stroke, diabetes also appeared, but it went away immediately, and my blood sugar became normal. And a year later, my kidneys suddenly failed; before that I had never had any problems with my kidneys. They did an ultrasound, there were no abnormalities in the kidneys, but they refused and that’s it. Now I have hemodialysis three times a week, and soon they want to switch me to peretonic dialysis. Doctors convince me that this is the only way out for me. At first I had no urine at all, then it became slightly colorless. Now, contrary to the instructions of the attending physician, I began to drink kidney tea. Urine dropped to 400 ml lit. per day and the color of the urine appeared, but this is clearly not enough. Tell me how I can get my kidneys to work again, in the hospital everyone agreed, they convince me that I no longer have kidneys, I’m already sending them away with obscenities.

Vladimir Alekseev Chronic renal failure occurs (when the kidneys do not work well and hemodialysis helps) - then there is a chance of recovery. There is a terminal stage of renal failure (when the kidneys really fail and nothing helps) - then it’s a shambles and a shambles for about 3 days. In case of chronic renal failure, a strict diet is necessary - it is necessary to completely exclude salt, kvass, beer, wine, pickled tomatoes and cucumbers - all this is poison for sick kidneys. It is best to restore kidneys from experienced herbalists (such specialists can still be found in rural areas, if there is a desire). Official medicine cannot cure kidneys. Therefore, there is no point in wasting time and money on doctors, but it is necessary to look for traditional healers. Just not those swindlers who advertise themselves (they are no better than grabber doctors), but those about whom people talk about who were treated and cured. Text hidden expand

Bearberry is a herb that is widely known for its healing properties. Bearberry is a popular treatment in alternative medicine, but it is also used in conservative medicine. Bearberry, as a plant, is easily recognizable - it always has a green color that does not change, and is a shrub. You can also see bearberry in photos on the Internet. When spring comes, bearberry blooms with white and pink flowers, after which small red berries appear in the fall. Bearberry leaves are special: they are soft and fluffy, and shaped like an oval. It’s not for nothing that bearberry leaves are popularly called bear’s ear. It is the bearberry leaves that are considered the most useful part of the plant. This is not surprising, because bearberry leaves contain a large number of useful components. Among them are arbutin glucoside, flavonoids and organic acids. Arbutin glucoside has a diuretic effect, which helps remove sand and kidney stones. Also, arbutin helps in providing an antiseptic effect. Flavonoids destroy harmful bacteria and infections, and ursulic acid relieves inflammatory processes and can even stop tumor growth.
It has been proven that bearberry leaves help cope with many diseases, including removing sand from the kidneys. In addition, bearberry is indicated for use in gastrointestinal disorders, and even for rejuvenation purposes.
Bearberry has medicinal properties. Its widest application is as a diuretic. The bearberry herb removes excess fluid from the body, thereby relieving the patient of edema. Along with removing excess fluid, bearberry also removes sand that was present in the kidneys. This herb is recommended for use to relax the body, and bearberry decoction should be taken to destroy microbes in the body.
If we talk specifically about kidney disorders, then a decoction of bearberry is especially recommended. After all, the plant, as already mentioned, has a diuretic effect, after which many diseases of the genitourinary system are cured. Bearberry tea can be taken for cystitis, pyelocystitis, pyelitis, pyelonephritis, and, of course, if there is sand in the kidneys.
Bearberry has beneficial properties and contraindications. In general, bearberry is a safe remedy, but has some contraindications. Bearberry tea is contraindicated for acute kidney stones, glomerulonephritis and renal failure. If bearberry sand can remove it, then sharp and large kidney stones cannot, and can only cause harm. In addition, the use of bearberry is not recommended during pregnancy, breastfeeding and children under 12 years of age.
What is bearberry used for in official medicine: treatment of the bladder, treatment of the urethra, and all organs of the genitourinary system. Widely used in treatment if the patient is bothered by sand in the kidneys. Independent decoctions are made from this plant, and bearberry extract is also found in many preparations.
In alternative medicine, decoctions of bearberry are used if there is sand in the kidneys, edema, cystitis, diabetes, etc. In addition, if there are any abrasions, you need to prepare a remedy from bearberry and apply it to the affected area, after which healing will occur faster.
In order to remove sand, you need to prepare a decoction: take 10 g of dried bearberry and combine with two glasses of cold water. The infusion should be left for half a day. After the decoction has infused, it must be slightly heated and strained. Take the resulting liquid daily before meals. You need to take 30 ml, and the remaining broth should be stored in the refrigerator, but no more than 2 days. When treating kidneys, a special diet is also necessary, which eliminates the possibility of sand appearing again.
It is worth noting that there is a special diet based on bearberry. This diet is intended for weight loss if a person is overweight. A diet for weight loss involves the following recipe: dried bearberry share, string, corn silk, and birch leaves. All ingredients need to be mixed and pour 100 ml of boiling water. You need to drink half a glass before meals every day. According to statistics, this diet is effective in losing weight. It is worth noting that such a diet has some contraindications. It is strictly forbidden to use the diet during pregnancy and renal failure.
Among the diseases that cause severe joint damage is gout. The main reason preceding the development of the disease is a violation of purine metabolic processes, causing an increase in the content of uric acid. An increased level leads to additional salt formation in tissues - bone, cartilage and tendons. Help with gout requires special attention and is carried out with modern drugs.
The big toes, as well as the elbow, wrist, ankle and other joints are most often affected. Gout can affect the kidneys with the formation of stones, the skin with the appearance of gouty nodes. The disease is more common in older people - in men, but women are also susceptible to it, especially in the postmenopausal period. It can be inherited in the family. Heavy metal poisoning (lead) can be one of the causes of the disease.
With gout, severe painful attacks of an acute nature are observed. The pain intensifies at night, causing the person to wake up. Redness and severe swelling appear at the site of the lesion; touching it is accompanied by sharp pains that occur with any movement.
With gout, body temperature may rise, bloating occurs in the abdomen, digestive processes cause constipation, and incessant chills appear. With the onset of morning, the symptoms subside, but return in the evening.
Such attacks are observed for 15-20 days, then subside after 2-3 weeks. Exacerbations of gout may appear after a couple of months or years, but during this period the disease is at the progression stage.
The next attack will cover new joints with the manifestation of additional symptoms: increased sweating, fluctuations in blood pressure, excessive excitability.
As a result, attacks end in immobility and joint deformation.
The manifestation of gout symptoms and its development is influenced by the patient’s diet. The use of the following products in the diet provokes the disease:
First aid is aimed at relieving attacks and inflammation. There are several methods of providing assistance. At home, you can use cold (ice cubes) by applying it to the sore joint. Ice should be wrapped in a soft towel or cloth and applied to the affected area for 5-7 minutes. For gout, this method helps relieve swelling.
After diagnosing the disease, the doctor prescribes medications for gout aimed at stopping attacks. Among the drugs are non-steroidal ones with an anti-inflammatory effect:
These medications for the patient are an ambulance for removing pain and treating lesions due to gout. But they can cause allergic reactions and severe irritation in the gastric mucosa.
In certain cases, a specialist may suggest remedies that will help avoid sudden outbreaks of pain:
Taking such medications may cause side effects: rashes, diarrhea, vomiting, and stomach discomfort.
You should not be alarmed by the continuation of gout attacks while taking medications, since the accumulation of substances in the body is required so that they can provide a complete blockade.
If preventive medications do not have the desired effect, you should agree with your doctor to review the dosage or take a new medication.
There are many folk recipes used to treat gout.
You can prepare a mixture of camphor with sugar, turpentine and Provençal oil. Pour in alcohol 70?, mix everything well and rub in overnight. Wrap the limb in warm clothes.
An alcoholic tincture of chestnut flowers, infused for 2 weeks, is an excellent remedy for rubbing.
Herbal infusion of elderberry flowers, nettle leaves, parsley root and willow bark. The crushed collection is poured with boiling water, cooled, filtered and taken orally. This remedy can be used to treat various forms of arthritis.
The extracted juice from coltsfoot and its leaves is mixed with salt. Take before meals for 2 to 3 months. In addition, for gout, compression bandages with this mixture are applied to the affected nodes, warmed with a warm heating pad.
Use a decoction of the string instead of ordinary black tea. The period of administration is not determined; it can be used continuously.
The first ointment, which has long been used, is a fatty mixture of dry crushed hop cones with unsalted lard (can be replaced with butter). An excellent remedy as an ambulance for severe pain.
Another way to prepare the ointment is to mix Vaseline with black poplar buds, crushed to a powder.
Herbal baths made from calamus rhizomes, chamomile flowers or knotweed herbs are excellent relievers.
When carrying out any preventive treatment, the patient must drink a lot of liquid, which will wash away harmful salts, and they will not be able to linger in the joints for a long time.
Without timely treatment, the patient may experience irreversible processes of destruction of various organs, primarily the kidneys. Therefore, self-medication or unconventional methods can lead to catastrophic consequences.
Proper nutrition will help improve metabolic processes in the body and quickly eliminate uric acid and its salts.
It is recommended to exclude meat broths, sauces, dressings and meat itself from the patient’s diet. Minimize the consumption of fish products - canned food (sardines, anchovies), seafood, salted fish. But eating fatty tuna or salmon can help reduce inflammation.
Including foods containing vitamin C in your daily diet will speed up the removal of uric acid from the body (tangerines, oranges).
Berries that have a positive effect on gout include cherries, blueberries, strawberries, and you can use cherry juice.
Plant products containing a minimal amount of purine substances, asparagus, lentils and gout are not compatible, sweet potatoes.
Pasta and bread contain refined carbohydrates and therefore are low in purines, but their consumption should be controlled so as not to cause excess weight. But sudden weight loss also negatively affects the development of the disease.
Repeated and abundant drinking of herbal infusions and water flushes the kidneys and removes salts. It is recommended to completely exclude beer, which contains yeast, from alcoholic drinks, and a small amount of wine is not so risky for gout. Coffee intake must be agreed with your doctor.
First aid can be carried out by self-massage. Before doing this, your hands should be lubricated with cream or oil. Using light and stroking movements, massage around the affected area, and then the joint. During the acute phase of gout, massage is prohibited. When the pain subsides, it is recommended to begin to gently knead the area, then move on to rubbing and gymnastic exercises.
Gout is a serious disease, manifested by severe pain and discomfort. If you do not start treatment, do not adhere to a balanced diet, and do not follow preventive measures, then the progression of the disease can result in death.
A timely visit to the doctor and a full examination will help prevent negative consequences and maintain the health of your joints for a long time. Self-medication will bring small and temporary relief, while unprofessional approaches can harm other organs. According to forecasts, the result of providing proper care for gout is very positive, especially in the initial stages of the disease.
Gout is one of the oldest diseases of mankind. The diet for gout was described by Hippocrates, and mentions of it are found in medical and fiction literature.
Gout is a chronic form of the disease, characterized by an increased level of uric acid in the blood and the deposition of urates in the tissue structure. The symptoms of gout consist of signs of recurrent acute arthritis. The appearance of the first symptoms of gout is possible in any person, regardless of age group, but people aged 40-50 years are most susceptible to the disease. So what should be the diet for gout and what recommendations do doctors give?
Menu No. 6 will be prescribed for gout. This diet includes:
Therapeutic nutrition for gout should not exceed 2700 kcal per day.
What should you not eat if you have gout? To begin with, it is worth remembering that the antipurine diet for gout is not a temporary measure for a week, but the principle of a permanent diet, and even more so, a way of life in which the basis is to take care of health.
Products contraindicated for gout are those that have a high content of puric acid (purine base is a compound that takes part in the process of synthesizing uric acid). Meals for gout should include no more than 100-150 mg of purines daily. A healthy person can consume a significantly larger amount – 800 mg. The menu for gout should exclude:
It is better to give preference to sweet compote. To sweeten the liquid, it is better to use sugar rather than honey, since the latter contains oxalic acid, which is harmful to gout.
Can it be spicy and salty? These are prohibited foods for gout. This also includes alcoholic beverages. Vodka, when combined with gout, is harmful, and therefore it is not allowed to drink it. Purine base is most found in alcoholic beverages, and they begin to lead to dehydration of the body, which contributes to an increase in the percentage of uric acid and intoxication of the body. Alcoholic drinks and gout are a combination that is excluded; even small doses of alcohol can cause pain.
What can you eat if you have gout? Products with a low purine content, but with a large number of useful micro- and macroelements for the human body, are considered to be the most useful for gout. For gout, foods with a lot of fiber are allowed, which helps maintain normal weight. This includes porridge, muesli, diet bread, bakery and whole grain products.
Other allowed foods for gout are fruits and vegetables, nuts, which contain vitamins C, E, D, A, B, as well as various minerals, polyphenols, lycopene, anthocyanins and other antioxidants, which strengthens the immune system, increasing resistance to disease. .
The following foods are allowed for gout: cilantro, dill, parsley. They should form the basis of your diet. It is worth having recipes for dishes made from cabbage, zucchini, carrots, tomatoes, strawberries, lingonberries, watermelon and pineapple for gout. Such products for gout should ensure that the body receives the required amount of micro- and macroelements.
Thus, the best diet for gout consists of vegetarian dishes. This includes soups made from vegetables and milk, fermented milk products and fruit decoctions.
Is it possible to have meat? From the meat culture, it is recommended to consume dietary representatives of the group, for example, turkey, chicken. Boiled fish, squid, shrimp, and chicken eggs are not prohibited.
You need to include in your diet a low-fat variety of cottage cheese and dishes made from it, for example cheese. Porridges prepared from different cultures are recommended. Fresh milk is allowed. Whole milk should be consumed with great caution.
Healthy foods for gout include almost all types of vegetables: potatoes, cucumbers, white cabbage, eggplants. It is worth somewhat limiting the intake of radishes, celery, spinach and asparagus. Dishes with added greens are quite healthy. However, green onions and celery are taken in small quantities.
As for sweets, you can eat non-chocolate sweets, jam, marmalade, marshmallows and marshmallows. The following fruits are useful: oranges, pears and apples, plums and apricots. Drinks allowed include fruit, berry and vegetable juices, green tea, milk, chicory, kvass and various compotes. Cranberry and lingonberry fruit drinks are of particular value.

With kidney pathologies, the normal functioning of all human organs deteriorates, so many are interested in how to improve kidney function? You can restore the previous functions of the organ with the help of folk remedies, medications, as well as by following proper nutrition and many other recommendations of specialized specialists. To keep your kidneys working well, it is important to follow preventive measures that can prevent any kidney imbalance.
The deterioration of kidney function affects the general condition of a person and the patient may develop problems with the intestines, stomach, genitourinary system, weakness is observed and the blood vessels and heart muscle cease to function. Kidney diseases affect the strength of ligaments and muscle tissue, and therefore they are subject to frequent damage. Dysfunction of the kidney organ negatively affects the water-salt balance, so it is important for every person to ensure a stable level of fluid in the body.
To restore the former functioning of the kidneys, it is necessary to prevent a lack of water in the body, as this can lead to various disturbances not only in their functioning, but also in the digestive system, liver, blood vessels and other vital organs. But how much water should you drink per day? Doctors say that the minimum daily amount of fluid for people weighing 65–75 kg should not be less than 2 liters.
When the kidneys are damaged, the patient is allowed to drink coffee, alcohol in limited quantities, tea and soda, but provided that there are no problems with the urinary system. Despite the benefits and healing properties of mineral waters, they can only help with stomach and intestinal ailments. They only overload the kidneys and provoke the formation of stones in them. We restore the previous kidney function correctly! This means that you should drink only warm water, and instead of “soda” it is better to make a fruit drink from lingonberries and cranberries, which not only helps this organ, but also improves the immune system as a whole. It is important to take care of your kidneys - do not overload them with drinking fluids in large sips.
To maintain the normal condition of the kidney organ, you should review your diet. For better kidney function, each person is recommended to eat a healthy and balanced diet. A dietary regimen will not only restore kidney function, but also improve a person’s overall health. Thus, the patient’s menu should not contain fatty and salty foods, but should be dominated by foods that help the kidneys work at the same intensity. Vegetables and fruits, dairy products, pumpkin seeds, and various cereals will restore the paired organ.
To improve kidney function, you should definitely eat asparagus, cauliflower, onions, red peppers and cranberries. To keep the organ responsible for urine production in good condition, you need to consume these foods regularly. In addition, it is important to adhere to the diet, namely, eat often and in small portions, at least 5 meals a day. In order not to overload the digestive system, portions should be the size of a fist, then the kidneys will not have to work at full capacity. Normalizing renal imbalance includes eating dietary foods that have undergone proper heat treatment - steaming, boiling or baking.
When we help the kidney organ to work properly, it is important not to forget about blood pressure, which, when low, negatively affects the functioning of the kidneys. Low blood pressure sharply reduces the quality of blood purification by the kidneys, which leads to poisoning of the body with toxins. To prevent intoxication and normalize kidney function, doctors recommend taking dietary supplements of lecithin and Omega-3. These substances are used not only to normalize the functioning of the organ, but also to regulate cholesterol metabolism in the body.
Specialists offer the following restorative medications that can start and enhance kidney function:
