Drink enough water
After a night without water supplementation, you can drink a glass of water when you wake up and continue to supplement regularly throughout the day. Enough water helps the kidneys create urine, eliminate soluble waste and dilute some substances such as calcium and uric acid, thereby reducing conditions for kidney stones to form.
However, it is not necessary to drink a lot of water immediately after waking up for "detoxification". Water needs depend on activity level, weather, thirst and health condition. People with kidney disease or required to limit fluids need to follow doctor's instructions.
Balanced breakfast
Breakfasts like oats with fruit, whole wheat bread with eggs, or unsweetened yogurt can help control hunger and weight.
High blood pressure and diabetes are important factors related to chronic kidney disease. Therefore, you should prioritize low-sodium foods, low-sugar supplements and limit ultra-processed foods to help control blood pressure and blood sugar.
Don't eat too much protein
Eggs, cheese, sausages, or bacon can make a breakfast rich in protein, sodium, and saturated fat if consumed in large quantities at the same time. Consuming too much protein can increase kidney filtration levels, especially in people with chronic kidney disease.
Instead of focusing on protein-rich foods, you can combine fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fiber-rich plant-based foods. People with chronic kidney disease should ask their doctor about the appropriate amount of protein, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus.
Get up and exercise
Regular exercise helps the body use insulin more effectively, control blood sugar, blood pressure and weight, thereby supporting kidney health.
In the morning, you can take a quick walk, climb stairs, stretch, or do strength training for a short time. However, people with progressive chronic kidney disease or uncontrolled blood pressure should talk to their doctor before choosing the intensity of exercise.
