"Nephropathy has a long course, is difficult to cure, and is prone to pessimism, anxiety and depression. Everyone must dare to face the disease, adjust their mentality, make friends with doctors and actively treat them. " As a patient with kidney disease, Wang Yongjun shared his experience with the patient.
Traditional Chinese medicine often says that the kidney is the innate foundation, and the quality of the kidney determines a person's overall health level. A good kidney is also a guarantee of longevity.
Wang Yongjun made some suggestions on how to protect kidneys and prevent diseases.
People who have been suffering from diabetes for more than 5 years should be alert to whether there is kidney damage. This kind of damage is difficult to find in the early stage. Usually, when diabetic nephropathy develops to stage III, proteinuria and other manifestations will appear. Therefore, renal B-ultrasound and urinary microprotein examination are essential for diabetic patients.
Sticking to a low-salt diet is an effective way to protect the kidneys. In daily life, Wang Yongjun has always adhered to a low-salt diet, limiting the daily salt intake to 5 grams or even 3 grams, which can not only stabilize blood pressure, but also reduce urinary protein and protect renal function.
In sports, Wang Yongjun praised Tai Ji Chuan. This exercise can also improve people's concentration by using both hands and feet and moving their eyes. He said that this kind of exercise is moderate and suitable for patients with chronic diseases such as kidney disease.
Besides, throughout the year, Wang Yongjun often eats four things to keep healthy.
"I drink alpine green tea most often. Tea is rich in tea polyphenols, which can resist oxidation, clear the heart and improve eyesight, and refresh the mind. I drink it three times a day, morning, noon and evening. Every time you put some new tea, you will drink two or three cups after boiling water. " Wang Yongzhen said.
In winter, Wang Yongjun eats some ginseng. There are many kinds of ginseng. He suggested that people with cold constitution eat red ginseng, people with hot constitution eat American ginseng, and people with peaceful constitution eat white ginseng (that is, wild ginseng). He has a cold constitution and usually eats white ginseng and red ginseng. "What I drink is water frying, boiling water and simmering, which is better than soaking in water." Wang Yongjun said that people with yin deficiency and flourishing fire in summer can eat some American ginseng, while people with cold constitution still suggest eating some red ginseng.
Ginger and radish are also Wang Yongjun's favorite foods. In summer, he will slice fresh ginger, add sugar, vinegar and soy sauce, and then put it in the refrigerator. He usually eats rice in a bubble bath to drive away the cold. He also often buys white radish to make soup, which can get rid of dampness. "Many people like to eat radish stewed ribs, but the purine in the broth is high and my urine acid is high, so it is healthier to cook radish with Kaiyang."
