Regular walking (30 minutes a day) can improve hydration and blood circulation, reducing the risk of stone formation. You can start with brisk walks and gradually increase the intensity.
Yoga: Certain yoga poses can support kidney health and enhance blood flow to the kidneys:
Stretching exercises can help promote better kidney function and overall body mobility. Focus on gentle stretching, especially after long periods of sitting.
Swimming:
Swimming is a low-impact exercise that improves circulation and can help promote overall kidney health.
Core Strengthening:
Exercises that strengthen the core, like planks and leg raises, help support overall body health and circulation, indirectly benefiting kidney function.
