To reduce creatinine levels, consider the following natural and lifestyle approaches:

Dietary Changes

• Reduce protein intake , especially red meat and fish, as high protein can increase creatinine

• Increase fiber intake through fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, which may help lower creatinine

• Choose plant-based proteins such as beans, lentils, tofu, and other legumes instead of animal proteins

• Lower salt (sodium) intake to help control blood pressure and reduce kidney strain

• Incorporate kidney-friendly foods and spices like cranberries, kiwi, apples, blueberries, bitter gourd, cinnamon, turmeric, garlic, and ginger

Hydration and Fluid Management

• Stay well hydrated by drinking 6-8 glasses of water daily, or as advised by a healthcare professional, to help flush out creatinine

• Avoid dehydration, which can raise creatinine levels

Lifestyle Modifications

• Avoid strenuous exercise that can temporarily increase creatinine due to muscle metabolism; prefer moderate activity

• Avoid creatine supplements and overuse of NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), as they can elevate creatinine or harm kidneys

• Limit or avoid alcohol consumption and quit smoking to protect kidney health

• Control blood pressure and blood sugar to prevent kidney damage, which can raise creatinine

Medical Consultation

• Discuss with a healthcare professional about appropriate fluid intake, medications, and any supplements.
• If high creatinine is due to kidney disease, follow the prescribed treatment plan.

By adopting these dietary and lifestyle changes, creatinine levels can be managed more effectively, supporting overall kidney health
