One: foods that are good for the kidneys:

Animal kidney: Eating animal kidney has the function of tonifying kidney and replenishing essence, which is the concrete embodiment of the theory of "nourishing viscera with viscera" in traditional Chinese medicine. Because it is rich in protein, fat, vitamins and some rare trace elements, it has both nourishing and body-building functions.

Sea cucumber: it can tonify kidney and essence, nourish yin and strengthen yang. Rich in trace elements such as iodine and zinc. Can participate in regulating metabolism and reducing blood lipid.

In addition, animal meat, eggs, bone marrow, black sesame, cherry, mulberry, yam and so on. It also has different degrees of kidney-tonifying effect.

Two: How to protect the kidneys at ordinary times:

Whoever wants to live a long and healthy life must have a healthy kidney. The kidney is very fragile and sensitive to many poisons. So first of all, we should pay attention to diet, and don't eat too much high-protein and high-sodium diet. Protein 65438+ 0.5 ~ 2g per kg per day, which is enough for the health needs of ordinary people. Don't drink too much water, just keep the urine volume at 1500~2000 ml every day. It is recommended to drink boiled water, preferably pure water (also called distilled water and deionized water).

(1) Try not to use or use drugs with strong nephrotoxicity, and try to avoid or reduce exposure to various toxic substances with strong nephrotoxicity.

(2) Quit smoking and avoid alcohol.

(3) Women should pay special attention to personal hygiene during menstruation, pregnancy and puerperium to prevent urinary tract infection. Develop regular habits and avoid trying to urinate.

(4) Regular physical examination, especially urine examination and renal function examination, so as to find and treat various kidney diseases in time.

(5) Promote healthy sexual life, be honest and upright, and prevent the kidney from being damaged by sexually transmitted diseases.

(6) Skinny people should strengthen exercise, improve the contractility of lumbosacral muscles and prevent nephroptosis.

Diet: The diet should be light and easy to digest, and special attention should be paid to properly controlling the intake of salt and protein. Modern research shows that high salinity is a risk factor for many diseases, especially cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that among the five flavors, salt enters the kidney, and proper salt can nourish the kidney, while excessive salt will hurt the kidney. The ideal salt intake is 6 grams per day. The survey shows that the diet in most parts of our country is too salty, especially in the north. Beijing people's daily weight 14 ~ 15g, Northeast people's daily weight 18 ~ 19g, Guangdong people's daily weight 6 ~ 7g. Eating pickles often is an important reason for excessive salt intake, so eat pickles less. High protein diet is an important factor to accelerate renal function damage, and the elderly should pay special attention to it. People with normal weight can roughly estimate the intake of protein according to the following standards: egg 1, fresh milk 100g, meat 100g, tofu 100g, staple food 300-400g, plus vegetables and fruits.

Avoid infection: young people suffer from colds, pneumonia and other infections, which generally have little impact on the body and are easy to cure. However, once the elderly with decreased renal function are infected, it is difficult to cope with this extra burden, which often leads to further damage to renal function and even life-threatening. Therefore, the elderly should strengthen exercise and actively prevent various infections.

Beware of nephrotoxic substances: the most common nephrotoxic drugs, such as gentamicin and streptomycin.

Aminoglycoside antibiotics, rifampicin and other anti-tuberculosis drugs, sulfonamides and contrast agents all have different degrees of nephrotoxicity, so they should be avoided as far as possible. When needed, it must be taken under the guidance of a doctor. □ Wang Amin
