The kidney is an important organ of the human body, mainly responsible for breaking down toxins in the body, regulating the balance of body fluids, and expelling toxins from the body through the formation of urine.
Therefore, if the kidneys are damaged, the detoxification function of the human body will also decline, and the health of the body will be affected. Therefore, the kidneys must be protected so that they are less damaged.
The health of the kidneys has a lot to do with daily habits. There are 5 kinds of daily life. Behavior is what the kidneys are most afraid of. Let’s take a look at which 5 are.
1. Overwork
Overwork is one of the causes of nephritis. Fatigue can easily lead to the body’s immunity decline, which can easily lead to problems such as upper respiratory tract infection, proteinuria, high blood pressure, and ultimately kidney damage.
From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, one of the “five tasks” that is the most taboo in maintaining health is Standing for a long time damages the bones and kidneys, because the kidneys control the bones and produce bone marrow. Standing for a long time is prone to symptoms such as kidney deficiency and low back pain. Therefore, in daily life, we must pay attention to the combination of work and rest, so that the kidneys can fully rest.
2. Drink too little water
Water is the carrier of kidney detoxification and detoxification, and it is also the best kidney protector. Adequate intake of water can promote kidney detoxification and ensure adequate blood supply to the kidneys.
If you drink too little water, especially when you sweat a lot in summer, insufficient water intake will easily induce kidney stones. It is recommended that adults drink 1500 to 1700 ml of water per day, preferably boiled water, and try to drink less strong tea.
Because strong tea contains a lot of caffeine, it will speed up blood flow, increase blood pressure, and increase the burden on the kidneys. In addition, tea contains more tannic acid, which is easy to combine with iron in the body to form stones.
3. Too salty
Most of the salt ingested in the diet is metabolized by the kidneys. If you eat too salty and ingest too much salt, it will increase the burden of kidney metabolism.
In addition, the sodium ions in table salt will affect the water balance in the body, reduce urine, further increase the burden on the kidneys, and easily lead to the decline of renal function.
4. Stay up late
Everyone knows Staying up all night hurts the body, staying up late for a long time and irregular work and rest, and the body does not get enough rest and relaxation, which will lead to the body’s immune function decline. At this time, if there are external germs invading, the body lacks sufficient resistance It is easy to cause inflammation and affect kidney function.
So it is recommended that you don’t fall asleep more than 11 o’clock at night, and ensure 8 hours of adequate sleep every day.
5, hold back the urine
kidney and The bladder is one body, the kidneys are responsible for the formation of urine, and the bladder is responsible for storing and excreting urine.
Long-term habitual holding of urine, which leads to long-term retention of urine in the bladder, can easily lead to bacterial infection and bladder damage, and once the bacteria enter the ureter and kidney, it will cause kidney infection, leading to nephritis and even uremia.
In addition, if the urine is not excreted in time, the calcium and debris accumulated in the kidneys stay in the body for a long time, and it is easy to induce the formation of kidney stones.
Freezing three feet is not a day’s cold, if there is overwork, Drinking too little water, eating too salty, staying up late and holding back urine these 5 bad habits, although they will not directly lead to kidney disease, but accumulated over time, will slowly damage the kidneys, and even lead to serious kidney disease , when the treatment becomes very difficult.
