Does a 20-year-old body have a 60-year-old kidney? 4 things that hurt the kidneys, I suggest you don't touch them again!

In life, there are many advertisements for health care and health products about kidney deficiency. These brainwashing and magic advertisements are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially for men.

Many people directly ignore the function of the kidney itself, and directly equate the kidney and sexual ability. They think that the purpose of maintaining the kidney is to protect the sexual ability!

But in fact, the function of the kidney itself is not related to sex. It is the internal metabolic organ of the human body. Its main responsibility is to generate urine and endocrine function!

Now, with people's living habits, diet and other aspects of change, bad habits full of life, chronic kidney disease has gradually entered a high incidence period.

Data survey shows that there are about 130 million patients with chronic kidney disease in China, of which nearly 30 million will develop into renal failure and uremia due to improper disease control in the future!

We should know that renal failure is an irreversible process. Once it enters the stage of renal failure, the patient's renal function will be gradually lost. After the development to the end stage, it is commonly known as "uremia".

Patients can only survive through long-term dialysis or kidney transplantation, but the cost can be imagined!

It is necessary to maintain the kidney. The following four bad habits of kidney injury, now correction is to pave the way for health:

1. Holding back urine

Many people are affected by work, sleep in and other factors, have developed the habit of holding back urine for a long time. If the bladder does not reach the maximum threshold, they will not go to the toilet to release themselves.

However, there is not only water in urine, but also certain metabolic wastes, including urea, uric acid, inorganic salts, calcium, etc. If the urine is not discharged in time, it will accumulate in the bladder and produce bacteria.

Bacteria and urine once with the ureter countercurrent, can cause kidney infection, induce chronic kidney disease.

2. Don't like drinking water

Research shows that when people feel extremely thirsty, their body water is almost exhausted.

From a scientific point of view, the purpose of drinking water is not only to quench thirst, but also to maintain the body's needs and metabolism. The kidney needs sufficient water to form urine and excrete excess waste with urine.

If the amount of drinking water is insufficient for a long time, although the body can work, the kidney will not produce urine, which will not only lead to too little urine production, but also easy to let various metabolites accumulate in the kidney, which is easy to induce kidney stones.

3. Unhealthy diet

Although the kidney is not a digestive organ, but unhealthy eating habits, it is easy to cause kidney damage.

For example, the excessive intake of salt exceed the standard, which will lead to * retention of water and sodium, increase of blood volume and increase of kidney burden. Under the influence of hypertension and high sodium, the kidney is easy to be damaged.

And long-term intake of high-fat, high-calorie food, also easy to lead to blood glucose metabolism disorders, diabetes, and one of the complications of diabetes is kidney disease.

In addition, long-term intake of foods containing too much purine will also increase the metabolic burden of the kidney. When the uric acid value in the body exceeds the standard, urate crystals will even accumulate in the kidney, damaging the kidney tissue and inducing chronic kidney disease.

4. Misuse of drugs

Many people are affected by work and financial factors after the illness develops. They do not directly seek medical examinations and take drugs according to the doctor's recommendations. Instead, they buy drugs at will based on their years of experience.

Some patients with chronic diseases, in order to get rid of the disease as soon as possible, even try a variety of unscientific folk prescriptions. Little do you know, some drugs have kidney toxicity ingredients, especially Chinese herbal medicine with nephrotoxicity more common.

If we use drugs blindly and increase the dosage without the doctor's advice, it is likely to cause kidney damage and even induce acute renal failure!

Generally speaking, if you want a healthy kidney, the first thing you need to do is to supplement water, urinate in time, and maintain a healthy and balanced diet. Only in this way can we really maintain kidney health.

In addition, we should not believe in all kinds of folk prescriptions at ordinary times. Only when we go to the regular hospital for examination and treatment can we really hope to recover.
