Protect your kidneys: Three golden habits to stay away from kidney failure

1. Regular work and rest, adequate sleep: Ensuring 7 to 8 hours of high-quality sleep every night is essential for kidney health. During sleep, the body will repair and adjust itself, and the kidneys can also get enough rest. Long-term lack of sleep will lead to a decrease in the body's immunity and increase the burden on the kidneys. For example, some kidney patients insist on going to bed before 10 o'clock every day and getting up at 6 o'clock in the morning. They have developed a regular work and rest schedule, and all indicators of the body are well controlled.

2. Drinking water in moderation promotes metabolism: Maintaining adequate water intake helps the kidneys excrete metabolic waste and toxins from the body. Depending on your personal situation, drink 1500 to 2000 ml of water every day, but be careful not to drink too much water to avoid adding burden to the kidneys. For example, some kidney patients will set a daily drinking goal for themselves and monitor themselves by recording, so that the metabolic function of the kidneys can be maintained well.

3. Exercise moderately to improve physical fitness: Choose a form of exercise that suits you, such as walking, Tai Chi, yoga, etc., and exercise at least 3 to 5 times a week, for more than 30 minutes each time. Exercise can promote blood circulation, enhance blood supply to the kidneys, and improve kidney function. For example, a kidney patient insisted on practicing Tai Chi 3 times a week under the doctor's advice. Not only did his physical fitness improve, but the health of his kidneys also improved significantly.
