“China Water and Quality of Life Cognition Survey Report” shows that 65.9% people drink water only when they are thirsty, which is a chronic damage to the kidneys.

Actually, when you feel thirsty, your body is already in a state of dehydration.

If the body lacks water, the kidneys will make a “throttling” decision after measuring the body’s pH and osmotic pressure——

Using less water to dispose of waste, coupled with the hot weather and the high concentration of urine, it will lead to the deposition of metabolic waste and toxic substances, which will become worse over time. The more accumulation, it is easy to induce chronic kidney disease and kidney stones.

3. Love supper, barbecue, seafood with beer

Summer is supper , The season for drinking beer and skewers, but I want to remind everyone that it’s okay to indulge once in a while, but you can’t eat like this every time!

Seafood and beer are high purine foods. Excessive intake will accelerate the production of uric acid and increase the burden on the kidneys.

Barbecue is a high-fat and high-salt food. Excessive intake of oil and salt will also overwhelm the kidneys.
