1. Get your diet in order
There are some foods which have been shown to lower LDL, the bad cholesterol, and some can also increase good cholesterol, HDL. They also can cut the risk of cancers, heart diseases, stroke, diabetes and high blood pressure. The food includes:
Vegetables with skin
Fresh whole fruits with skin
Nuts, flax seeds and chia seeds
Oily fish such as tuna, salmon, herring and sardines
Beans and lentils
For drinks, you can have some tea or coffee daily if you like, black or with a bit of real milk, cream, or half-and-half. Chamomile tea has been shown to control blood sugar as well.
2. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy
Only diet in order is not enough. In order to get diseased kidney work again, repairing injured kidney tissues is the key. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can help achieve this goal. This therapy is based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) but used externally. Two medicated bags are put on patient’s kidney area and the patient just needs to lie on the bed to take this therapy. The osmosis device and penetrant fluid helps the active ingredients in Chinese medicines come to kidney lesion directly. Through dilating blood vessels, preventing inflammation and coagulation, degrading extracellular matrix and providing nutrients, injured kidney tissues can be repaired and then kidney function can be improved greatly. When kidney function is improved, high cholesterol level can be lowered from the root.
Diet in order and Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can help your kidneys work properly. In addition, in China there are also Medicated Bath, Blood Purification Therapy and Steaming Therapy which all can get kidneys properly working.
