In the treatment of chronic kidney disease, we should not only learn to accept the “cure”, but also learn to “maintain the disease” and maintain a good lifestyle, so that the disease can gradually be effectively controlled. Experts tell us that it is not difficult to develop a good lifestyle, as long as we keep in mind the “eight-word policy”.

A. Ant food Diet is an indispensable substance to maintain human life. Chinese medicine believes that “five grains for nourishment, five fruits for help, five animals for the benefit, five dishes for the full, and served together, in order to replenish the essence”. But the diet should not be excessive, and advocate ant food, that is, like ants, to eat less, but also can not be monotonous, to eat a little mixed, not greedy, not partial food.
Diet as light as possible, avoid spicy fatty sweet, avoid big tonic, especially not every day boil old fire soup for tonic, then the burden on the kidneys will be very large, the condition may continue to deteriorate. Only gentle conditioning, pay attention to variety, moderate protein, lower fat, rich in vitamins, but the total amount can not be more, like ants, little by little supplement, day by day, slowly take effect. In addition, also under the guidance of medical personnel, learn to learn according to their own physique and climate characteristics, choose the food of the same source of medicine to regulate the qi and blood, to strengthen the body.
Second, the monkey moves Chinese medicine believes that “long lying hurts gas, long sitting hurts meat”, if you get sick and rest in bed without exercise, it will sleep more and more tired, the body is getting thinner and thinner. “Life lies in movement”, we advocate to be more active like a monkey to keep healthy and vigorous.
“Three five seven” is a healthier way to exercise, that is, to walk more than three thousand meters a day, and to ensure that the walking time is not less than 30 minutes; to exercise more than five times a week; exercise heart rate plus age of 170 (for example: 50-year-old people, after exercise heart rate of no more than 120 times, 50 + 120 = 170). In addition, some sports with Chinese medicine characteristics, such as the Eight Duan Jin, Taijiquan, etc., can make the qi and blood circulation, tendons and bones strong and solid, but also we provide the “monkey move” way.
Third, childish mind
A healthy mind is a prerequisite for recovery from illness. A child’s mind is called a nurturing mind, that is, to have a child’s general mentality, carefree, vibrant.
According to Chinese medicine, the “five wills” are related to the “five organs”, “happiness hurts the heart, anger hurts the liver, thinking hurts the spleen, worry hurts the lungs, fear hurts the kidneys”, too much emotional fluctuations affect the normal functioning of internal organs. Can make the qi lifting and lowering disorder, disorder of qi and blood running, the disease is constantly aggravated; only to keep a relaxed mood, more imagination of beautiful, pleasant things, “both, it is safe”, to maintain the valuable childlike mind, reduce the physical and mental burden, in order to fight with the disease to the end.
Fourth, the turtle desire “God happy heart can be wide”, the turtle with its long life, is worshipped as a symbol of good fortune. For us, it is worth learning from its indifference to the world and the indifference of asking for nothing. This is also the mindset we need to keep in patients with chronic diseases.
“We may have been the unit’s leader and the pillar of the family before, but our bodies no longer allow us to work so hard after getting sick, so we should learn to clear our minds and learn to adapt to the new role we play in society and family after the illness, and reflect our values in the new role, but not to fight for strength We should learn to adapt to our new role in society and family after illness, to reflect our values in our new role, but not to fight for strength, not to win, “not to be happy with things, not to be sad with ourselves”, and “to be happy with what we have. At the same time, our relatives and friends should also give more care and warmth to create a relaxed, peaceful and loving rehabilitation environment.
