Kidney disease is a significant global health issue affecting 850 million worldwide. Are you one of 850 million? You can support your kidney functions with Foot Reflexology!
Chronic kidney disease is a long-term condition characterized by gradually losing kidney function. It is a significant public health problem, and its prevalence is increasing globally. The Global Burden of Disease Study estimated that the global age-standardized prevalence of CKD was 9.1% in 2019.
In addition to CKD, acute kidney injury is another common kidney condition that can occur suddenly and lead to a rapid decline in kidney function. Severe infections, medication side effects, or other medical conditions often cause it. Acute kidney injury can be a life-threatening condition managed if caught early.
Efforts to raise awareness, improve early detection, and promote prevention strategies are crucial in addressing the global burden of kidney disease and improving the overall kidney health of populations worldwide.
Daily Healthy Kidney Function Support
Maintaining daily healthy kidney habits is essential for overall kidney health. Here are some ways you can support your kidneys daily:
- Stay Hydrated: Drink adequate water throughout the day to keep your kidneys functioning properly. Water helps flush out toxins and waste products from the body. The recommended daily intake is half your weight in ounces. If you weigh 100 pounds, drink 50 ounces of water daily.Ā
- Eat a Balanced Diet: Consume a well-balanced diet that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Avoid excessively processed foods, saturated fats added sugars, and sodium intake. A healthy diet supports overall kidney health by providing essential nutrients and minimizing the risk of conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes, which can negatively affect the kidneys.
- Limit Salt Intake: Excessive salt (sodium) consumption can contribute to high blood pressure and increase the risk of kidney damage. Aim to limit your sodium intake by avoiding heavily processed and fast food and adding excessive salt to your meals. Eat fresh and whole ingredients and use herbs, spices, and other natural flavorings to enhance the taste of your food.
- Manage Blood Pressure and Blood Sugar Levels: High blood pressure and diabetes are major risk factors for kidney disease. If you have these conditions, managing them effectively through lifestyle changes, medication (if prescribed), and regular monitoring is essential. Follow your healthcare provider’s recommendations and maintain regular check-ups.
- Exercise Regularly: Engage in regular physical activity as it helps maintain healthy blood pressure levels, manage weight, and improve overall cardiovascular health. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous activity per week and strength training exercises twice weekly.
- Avoid Excessive Medications: Overusing or misusing certain medications, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or naproxen, can harm the kidneys. Always follow the recommended dosage and consult with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns or questions about your medications.
- Quit Smoking and Limit Alcohol Intake: Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can damage blood vessels and impair kidney function. Quit smoking if you’re a smoker, and if you drink alcohol, do so in moderation. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines moderate drinking as one drink per day for women and up to two per day for men.
- Get Regular Check-ups: Regularly visit your healthcare provider for routine check-ups and screenings. They can monitor your kidney function through blood and urine tests and detect potential issues early on.
- Manage your stress levels with an alternative lifestyle regimen, including Reflexology, yoga, mindfulness, and meditation.
Disclaimer: As excellent as alternative healing is, if you have any concerns about your kidney function, check with your healthcare professional for personalized advice and guidance is essential.
