Hello User,

To help you first looking at the status of the illness contacting our forum for an individual consultation will be helpful until then you can follow these guidelines and understand your disease better.

Anything in excess can be harmful to the body, but our kidneys have this excellent function of flushing out whatever is in excess and make our body work in harmony. The problem begins when our kidney itself starts getting hampered with the collected toxins and the treatment needs to be started. The potassium-sodium level needs to be balanced in a way that it still can be protected, so the first thing is to avoid certain food items that are of high fats and spice.Here we can discuss certain diet and exercise and some lifestyle change which will treat the problem. Now let us discuss what all things can help you in achieving a healthy body with a healthy dietary plan.

  • Avoid sodium for which avoid say no to added salt and replace table salt with rock salt for cooking.
  • Drink coconut water daily.
