Summer has arrived, and our most concerned topic is how to spend this hot season healthy and happy. For some patients with diseases, how to smoothly spend summer is even more crucial. Because many diseases recur and worsen during the high-risk season of summer, friends should pay extra attention. Let's talk about how patients with nephrotic syndrome can spend the summer in a healthy way.
Patients with nephrotic syndrome should maintain sufficient sleep
Many patients may experience edema and fatigue, but sufficient sleep and rest can alleviate these symptoms. Therefore, for patients, more rest should be taken. Patients should adapt to the changing patterns of the weather and develop good living habits. It is best to have a 30-40 minute nap every day, as it is very beneficial for physical recovery. If conditions permit, take a walk in the evening. Rest early at night to reduce physical exertion.
Patients with nephrotic syndrome should be cautious when eating watermelons in summer
There are many varieties of vegetables, fruits, and vegetables in summer, which are enticing to the appetite, especially for cold drinks and cold foods - "not painful to eat, not enough to satisfy". Of course, for patients without edema, the intake of water can be appropriately relaxed, but for patients with obvious edema, it is necessary to control the intake of water. For example, eating watermelons can promote diuresis, detumescence, heat clearing and heat relieving, but for patients with kidney syndrome who need to limit water intake, eating more watermelons will cause water retention in the body, exacerbate the disease and induce cardiovascular complications. In addition, excessive urination can increase the loss of protein and other nutrients in the body.
Minimize the use of nephrotic syndrome in summer
Although swimming is a good summer sport, it requires a lot of physical energy and the hygiene of the swimming venue cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with nephrotic syndrome do not go swimming. Patients with severe conditions should minimize outdoor activities, especially those with obvious swelling, and should rest in bed as much as possible.
Expert reminder: Friends of patients with nephrotic syndrome should pay attention to prevention and health care during the summer, try not to let their physical strength overdraw, and also make adjustments to their diet. Stay away from raw and cold food, and at the same time, blow the air conditioning less to prevent the occurrence of colds. Doing these things well can help patients and friends spend summer healthy and smoothly.
