Smart hydration: drink enough water during the day; at night, adjust your intake so as not to disrupt sleep (this depends on the individual, especially if there are heart or kidney problems).
Monitor your numbers: creatinine, eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate), and urinalysis as directed by your doctor.
Consult a doctor immediately if you notice: frequent bloating, foamy urine, difficult-to-control blood pressure, significant changes in urine output, extreme fatigue, or persistent itching.

After age 60, dinner can become a turning point: not because of a single “magically deadly” food, but because of the accumulation of repeated habits (refined sugar, white flour, hidden salt, ultra-processed foods, and processed meats). With simple and consistent changes, you can reduce the strain on your stomach at night and take care of an organ that often only “speaks up” when it’s already exhausted.
