The Silent Danger of Painkillers
Many common pain medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), can affect blood flow within the kidney. Frequent or prolonged use can reduce filtration capacity and accelerate kidney damage, especially in people with high blood pressure, diabetes, or dehydration.
24-hour protocol to support kidney function
A simple and consistent approach can help reduce the burden on the kidneys:
Morning
- A glass of water with a few drops of fresh lemon
- Low-sugar breakfast
During the day
- Constant hydration, not excessive
- Avoid sugary drinks
- Eat vegetables low in oxalates such as cucumber, broccoli or cauliflower
Afternoon
- Reduce salt intake
- Avoid ultra-processed snacks
Night
- Light dinner
- Avoid anti-inflammatories without medical indication
- Sleeping well to facilitate kidney repair processes
