The temperature is high in summer. For ordinary people, sweating a lot makes them lose water easily, so they need to add more water and salt every day. But for patients with kidney disease, hypertension or edema are related, so relatively speaking, water intake should be strictly controlled. Dietotherapy is advisable 1 large Sydney, finely cut, soaked in cold boiled water, and drunk several times. Patients should have a light diet in summer, not fat, sweet and greasy, and avoid seafood, beef and mutton, spicy and irritating food, wine and all other hair products. Don't overeat hot food. Hot food is mainly low in fat, easy to digest and rich in cellulose. In addition, the appetite of patients with kidney disease is relatively poor, so they can usually eat more traditional Chinese medicines such as poria cocos, yam, lentils, hawthorn and malt.
When eating out or going to the mall, it is not advisable to stay in the air-conditioned room for too long, which is prone to symptoms such as stuffy nose, dizziness, sneezing and fatigue, as well as some skin allergies, such as dry skin, allergies and skin deterioration. This situation is called "air conditioning disease". To prevent air-conditioning diseases, it should be noted that the indoor temperature should not be too low, so as not to be too different from the outdoor temperature. It is necessary to open doors and windows regularly to ventilate convection and increase the negative ion content in the air. If you have these symptoms, you can make tea with some Chinese medicines such as honeysuckle, rose and jasmine.
Cold is one of the important factors that induce the recurrence of nephropathy. The probability of catching a cold in summer is not small, but many patients and friends think that it is not easy to catch a cold in summer, so they don't pay attention to sun protection and heatstroke prevention, and let the air conditioner or fan blow directly, which will make the pores of the whole body close quickly in a short time, and a lot of heat absorbed in outdoor sunlight will not be distributed and stay in the body, causing a cold and fever. When resting at night, patients must not covet coolness, sleep on the cool floor or turn on the air conditioner very low. At the same time, the weather is hot in summer, and patients seldom insist on exercise, which leads to the decline of disease resistance and can cause colds.
Chinese medicine believes that "lying down for a long time hurts the gas." For patients with kidney disease, reasonable exercise can enhance physical fitness, improve immunity, exercise cardiopulmonary function and promote rehabilitation. It is best to keep exercising every day, especially sweating slightly. Continuous low-intensity exercise is more suitable for patients with kidney disease, such as walking, playing Tai Ji Chuan and practicing Qigong. High-intensity exercise should be avoided, but attention should be paid to the time of exercise, sooner or later. Don't exercise at noon or when the sun is strong.
