Many people often take painkillers or over-the-counter medicines when they have a headache or any kind of body pain. In some cases, you may become ill and you will need to take a dose of painkillers prescribed by the doctor. In any case, it is important to note that taking painkillers can have some side effects, which can have a negative effect on your kidneys. In a recent Instagram video, integrative lifestyle expert Luke Coutinho explains that chronic overuse of painkillers can lead to kidney failure or chronic kidney disease.

“The kidneys produce a chemical called prostaglandins that is used to protect the kidneys. It’s also a hormone that helps with blood clotting and many other functions. As you age, more and more pain relievers When you use medications, these prostaglandins start to decrease and your kidney’s defenses are reduced, leading to kidney disease,” he explains in the video.

Here are 7 diet and lifestyle changes to follow while taking painkillers:

1. Increase your water intake

Increasing your water intake can help protect your kidneys when you’re taking painkillers. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, unless your doctor has prescribed water restrictions for you.

2. Increase calcium and vitamin intake

Experts believe that most painkillers will deplete calcium, magnesium and vitamin D from your body. Depending on your doctor’s advice, it’s important to get those essential nutrients back into your diet through supplements or food.

3. Smoking or drinking alcohol is prohibited

It is important to stop smoking and drinking alcohol, especially when you are taking painkillers, as this can make the side effects worse.

4. Eat nuts and vegetables

Eat a diet rich in vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables. Eat plenty of nuts because the healthy fats will also help protect your kidneys while you’re taking painkillers.

5. Moderate protein intake

Make sure you are eating protein-rich foods. However, Coutinho points out that it is best to consume protein in moderate amounts and not too much. Too much protein can put a strain on the kidneys. Continue to consume moderate protein when you are taking regular painkillers.

6. Get enough sleep

Sleep is essential for recovery from your illness as well as for protecting the kidneys. Make sure you are sleeping deeply because when we sleep the body goes through its natural repair and detoxification protocols.

7. Manage stress

Avoid taking stress and try to remain calm. If you’re feeling stressed, try to relax your mind and body. Your overall relaxation takes the burden off all your vital organs.

If you need to take painkillers, make sure you’re eating the right foods and making the right lifestyle changes. Do not abuse painkillers and always take them as prescribed and directed by your doctor.
