Diet
As we all know, kidney is responsible for filtering waste from the blood. Diet is a source of waste. A balanced diet can help your body absorb the essential nutrients to resist the disease. It can also reduce the waste production to reduce the workload of kidneys. Such a diet includes low protein, enough carbohydrate, low fat, high vitamins and high fiber. You may also pay attention to the intake of potassium and phosphorus. The proportion of these substance should be made according to your condition, such as weight, kidney function, symptoms, etc.
Exercise
In stage 3 CFR, there are not so many symptoms and the symptoms are usually not very serious. Routine exercise is very good for your health. It can boost immune system to help you fight against the disease. It can also help control weight, lower cholesterol level, improve appetite and sleeping quality. Besides, exercise can speed up blood circulation to remove stasis and aerobic exercise may improve ischemia and anoxia in the kidneys to prevent further damage. But avoid overwork, which may worsen the state of illness.
Treatment
Treatment is very important when controlling kidney disease. There are so many kinds of treatment in the world. The conventional treatment is just to control symptoms. That is not enough. We should treat kidney disease from the root. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Medicated Foot Bath, Mai Kang and decoction are a set of treatment proved to be effective in repairing the damaged kidneys and improving kidney function.
