Exercise is a good thing, but if you make 3 'mistakes', your kidneys may lose your temper
As the saying goes, life lies in exercise, and maintaining scientific regular exercise can enhance the ability to resist viruses and bacteria, and also help to improve cardiopulmonary function. However, for kidney patients, strenuous exercise may increase the damage to the kidneys, so it is necessary to choose the appropriate exercise according to their own conditions.
What wrong ways of exercise can damage the kidneys?
- Exercise in a high temperature environment
Exercising in a high temperature environment for a long time will enhance the heat dissipation of the body's exterior, which can easily lead to dehydration and damage to the kidneys. In summer, you should avoid 10:00 am to 4:00 pm when exercising, choose a fresh and cool morning or around 6-7 o’clock in the evening, drink light salt water before and after exercise and when you sweat too much, which can supplement the needs of the kidneys It also relieves the increased urine concentration caused by excessive sweating during exercise, preventing kidney stones and gout.
- Excessive running after a cold
Some patients with kidney disease will improve their immune system by exercising when they catch a cold. Therefore, you should rest and drink plenty of water during a cold. When patients with nephrotic syndrome do not have the ability to relieve, or have a large amount of proteinuria, they should suspend exercise, and need to wait for the condition to stabilize before performing moderate exercise.
3, usually do not exercise, suddenly a lot of exercise
Usually, the amount of exercise is very small, and sudden strenuous exercise will lead to the dissolution of the striated muscle, and the muscle cells will be directly released into the blood, which will stimulate the renal blood vessels, and may also block the renal tubules and cause acute renal damage. In the process of exercise, oxygen consumption will increase. Patients with kidney disease have poor exercise tolerance. Sudden strenuous exercise will cause the kidneys to be in a state of ischemia and hypoxia, thereby increasing their damage.
When exercising, the principle should be adopted step by step. At the beginning, you should choose cycling, walking or jogging, and then choose high-intensity exercise such as swimming or dancing after the body adapts. If you do high-load or high-intensity exercise blindly, it will increase the risk of kidney infection. In addition, you have to stick to it for a long time to see obvious results.
