\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes the home remedies are the best remedies and in many cases, people suffering from things like the symptoms of azotemia even claim that they get more relief from home remedies that they do from over the counter medications or surgical interventions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anything that affects the kidneys is something that can be quite a sensitive subject for those directly affected and their families. Staying in hospital beds between rounds and rounds of dialysis can seem like the last thing someone with azotemia would want to do and so there is a growing trend of people who are choosing home remedies and natural methods to help give some kind of relief from the symptoms of azotemia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 8 home remedies and methods listed here may not work for everyone, but the principles that underpin them all are certainly based on scientific and anecdotal evidence in that they have been found to be effective in treating the symptoms of azotemia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.     Anti-Inflammatory, ketogenic diet and lifestyle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the absolute best ways to ensure and improve the health of the kidneys is to follow the principles of an anti-inflammatory diet, and not just for a couple of days either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For people with low kidney functionality, an anti-inflammatory diet or even the ketogenic diet<\/a> can be particularly useful. If the guidelines of a ketogenic diet are to be followed carefully, then roughly 70% of calories must come from healthy fat sources, whilst 20% of calories must come from clean proteins. The other 10% of calories in the diet need to be sourced from low carbohydrate foods and there you have your ideal ketogenic cocktail.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The results of this can be that inflammation is reduced, blood sugar levels can be stabilized and a reduction in toxin loads can be facilitated. On top of this, a diet of this kind provides all of the nutrients that are necessary for supporting a healthy level of blood sugars, as well as a healthy blood pH level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2.     Avoid inflammatory foods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned in the first home remedy, to achieve the full effects of these guidelines, the diet can\u2019t be followed in a half-hearted manner. Any change in the diet must be committed to in the fullest sense if the true benefits are to be realized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is very much the case when it comes to avoiding inflammatory foods as well. Some of the absolute worst food types in terms of causing inflammation include any food with quantities of refined sugars and processed ingredients. It has to be stressed that the avoidance of sugar is key in the assurance of kidney health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surges in blood glucose and high yields of insulin <\/a>release are caused by the excessive consumption of refined sugars and any type of grain which can be quickly metabolized into sugar. It really isn’t sufficient to cut these foods a little, as this will limit the impact of the diet change, this is something which has to be committed too wholeheartedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3. \tFoods to include<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Speaking more specifically about what types of food to include in a diet that has easing azotemia <\/a>symptoms as its main goal, the most effective anti-inflammatory diets will include a range of whole and unprocessed foods.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protein that is clean will usually be organic, and the rest of the diet will be made up of vegetables and fruits. Honing in on the clean sources of protein to include in the diet, we’re talking about things like grass-fed and pasture-reared chicken, as well as wild-caught fish. This sounds a little elitist and almost like it could cost the earth, but is it really too much of an investment when it comes to achieving ideal health? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health is wealth, after all, make sure you remember that! We were talking about fats before and the healthy kinds of fats you need to include are things like coconuts and avocados. Who doesn’t love avocados though?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4.     Optimal hydration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ensuring the body is optimally hydrated with a regular supply of clean and filtered water is of the utmost importance for the support of healthy kidneys<\/a>. Water is responsible for supporting many of the body\u2019s vital functions as it improves oxygen delivery to cells all over the body. It is also responsible for transporting nutrients, flushing away useless toxins and supporting the natural healing process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is vitally important for people to drink plenty of fluids in order to clear the kidneys of things like sodium, urea and other waste products. For people with chronic kidney problems, ensuring that the body is kept at a good level of hydration can actually slow down the decline of kidney function. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drinking water really can be that effective and it really isn’t that hard to do, whether or not you’re suffering from kidney disease! Drink up to half your body weight in water every day for optimal hydration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

5. \tConsume kidney-healthy foods  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Moving back into territory concerned with diet, there are certain foods that actually promote good kidney health. The best food items in terms of boosting a healthy urinary system<\/a> include things like celery, cucumbers, greens, lemons, limes, and berries. Just think of the delicious smoothies you could create with a list of ingredients like that.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving back into territory concerned with diet, there are certain foods that actually promote good kidney health. The best food items in terms of boosting a healthy urinary system include things like celery, cucumbers, greens, lemons, limes, and berries. Just think of the delicious smoothies you could create with a list of ingredients like that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A list of ingredients that are just as good for the body as they are on the taste buds. The benefits of cucumbers in a kidney healthy diet is that they have naturally hydrating properties, given that they are made up almost entirely of water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are also a fantastic source of vitamin C, which is super important again in terms of promoting kidney health. The benefits of beets are with regard to their effect on bile production, which is second to none. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seriously, that healthy diet you’ve always been meaning to implement, do it now, your kidneys will thank you later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

6. \tBest herbs for the kidneys  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Just like there are foods that are good for the kidneys, there are certain herbs <\/a>that are great for kidney health as well. Herbs like parsley and burdock are fantastic for kidney health, just as horsetail and stinging nettle are.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without wanting to sound like an old hippie, there is an abundance of ingredients that occur naturally which could really boost a person’s kidney health. Obviously beneficial for kidney health, there are natural diuretics to take into consideration as well, including burdock root and marshmallow root. These natural diuretics help the body expel any harmful toxins and promote all-round good health as well as that of the kidneys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hailed by many as a superfood, parsley contains a unique and potent blend of nutrients which can go so far as to neutralize tumor formation, on top of the benefits it can have on kidney health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

7. \tGentle Self-Massage on Kidney Reflex Points<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The well-traveled practice of reflexology <\/a>is a unique style of massage healing therapy that has been practiced for many centuries in the countries of China and Egypt. It is not known whether this practice was learned through interaction with extraterrestrial species, or whether it was passed down from generation to generation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either way. reflexology could be very beneficial for kidney health as it is founded on the theory that the body contains certain trigger or reflex points that linked to other parts of the body, some of which may seem like a mile away from the trigger point itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to the kidneys, the ancient practice focused on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet as the main places that could stimulate kidney health. Some people swear by it and some people swear against it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essentially, what works for some people won\u2019t necessarily work for someone else, but it has to be worth a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

8. \tIntermittent Fasting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It has been shown that intermittent fasting<\/a> can be beneficial for health in so many ways and the promotion of good kidney health is just another one of these ways. Some people choose to fast in spells of 12 hour periods, whereas others choose much longer fasted time frames.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The way that fasting affects the body is that it optimizes organ function, instead of keeping it going. It\u2019s a little bit like an electrical unit. If you regularly turn off your laptop properly, allowing it to go through all the start-up and shut down procedures, it is likely to be a lot more effective than if you left it running for all hours of the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand is much higher than and so intermittent fasting could actually be a pretty effective way of managing kidney health and promoting good kidney function without having to leave the lights on, so to speak. Again, it’s something that has to be worth a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
