What you need to do to maintain kidney health
Prevention of kidney disease is the simple rules, absolutely not requiring large expenditures of time or money. They apply to lifestyle and way of eating and drinking, and (most importantly) to prevent the formation of sources of chronic infection in the body.
Diet

If you want to lose weight and are dieting, pay attention to balance.

How to drink
Drinking regime is very important. In this case, we not only need to calculate how much fluid to drink, but also what kind of fluid to use: just so we all have enzymes in our body will be provided with the normal “field of activity” (they do not work in a dry environment), in addition, will decrease the concentration of toxic substances on the liquid.
If kidneys hurt, but you have yet to suffer any blood pressure or hemoglobin level, and swelling appear only after liberally adopted fluid, your daily rate is about 1.5 liters (unless your doctor advised otherwise). It is worth remembering that in some cases the volume of fluids needs to be increased. These are: heavy physical work, hot weather, work in hot shops,
increased body temperature, diarrhea, vomiting, shortness of breath. In these cases, the kidney health depends entirely on receiving adequate amounts of water losses. And it’s not the removal of stones from kidney, namely, to keep alive a functioning renal tissue, which dies without normal make up for losses.
What you need to know about the quality of fluid consumption: the one that you need to sustain life, must be taken in the form of juice, cranberry fruit drinks, fruit drinks, green teas, good quality water without gas. If you are losing fluid (e.g., heat), then the volume need to fill the compotes, mineral water without gas, with solutions that contain sufficient amounts of potassium, calcium and magnesium, otherwise you are risking muscle cramps.
The work of the intestine
To keep kidneys healthy, it is important to monitor not only the food but also for bowel function: constipation, that is, the stagnation of feces in the intestine, lead to the fact that some of the toxins absorbed into the bloodstream. And this will “fix” the kidneys.
Undertreated disease, cold and damp
