Several common habits that hurt the kidney most

Now many health products are under the banner of nourishing yin and Yang. This kind of medicine is often sold well, but it may not be able to tonify the kidney. In addition, there are also some bad habits that can hurt the kidney.

I only know how to eat health products to tonify the kidney.

Tonifying the kidney is a health concept advocated by many people. Many people think that tonifying the kidney is tonifying the kidney. “This is a misunderstanding”. The “kidney” referred to in traditional Chinese medicine is a functional concept, including the comprehensive functions of the reproductive system, endocrine system and urinary system in modern medicine. The “kidney” in modern medicine refers to the real kidney. The kidney is responsible for removing toxins, wastes and excessive water from the body. In addition, it also helps the body to control blood pressure, regulate electrolyte concentration, and produce red blood cells. Once the renal function is damaged, most of them are irreversible. Therefore, it is dangerous to focus on tonifying the kidney and ignore the health of the kidney. It is better to protect the kidney than to replenish it often.

believes that Chinese herbal medicines are non-toxic

In nephrology, cases of renal failure caused by improper drug use are not uncommon, which can not but arouse people’s vigilance. Many people think that Chinese herbal medicines have no toxic and side effects, which is a great misunderstanding. There are more and more reports about kidney damage caused by Chinese herbal medicines, among which Aristolochia, cantharid, Tripterygium wilfordii, gelsemium lanceolata, Sagittaria Sagittarius, Guanmutong, mountain bean root, fish gall and Alisma orientalis are the most nephrotoxic. The dosage and indications of these drugs should be strictly controlled.

seafood is indispensable for the next meal

Protein is an essential nutrient for the human body. It is necessary to pay attention to protein intake, but this does not mean that “the more you eat, the better”. A balanced diet is enough for healthy people to supplement the protein they need every day. But now many professionals often socialize, which leads to excessive protein intake. Director Shi Wei reminds that long-term high protein intake will increase the burden of the kidney, and even make the kidney in a “overload” state for a long time. For people with kidney function impairment, the intake of protein should be strictly controlled. It is necessary to consult a nephrologist and formulate a diet under the guidance of a nutritionist. In addition, I would like to remind you that protein is not limited to eggs and milk. All kinds of meat, seafood and beans contain high protein. When you are keen to eat high protein foods or blindly supplement high protein nutrients, be careful not to damage your kidneys.

daily dishes contain too much salt

95% of the salt in our diet is metabolized by our kidneys. If we eat too much salt, the burden on our kidneys will naturally increase. In addition, the sodium in the salt will make it difficult for the water in the human body to be discharged, which will further increase the burden on the kidneys, leading to the decline of kidney function. At the same time, eating too salty will lead to an increase in blood pressure, and the blood flow of the kidneys can not maintain normal flow, thus inducing kidney disease. It is recommended that the daily salt intake should be controlled within 6G.

too lazy to drink water and not go to the toilet

Many people often hold back their urine because they are too busy at work. Unexpectedly, holding back their urine for too long can easily lead to increased bladder pressure, bladder pressure reflex disorder and detrusor function decline, or affect the ureter bladder anti reflux mechanism, resulting in urine reflux, which is easy to be complicated with pyelonephritis and renal function damage. Therefore, no matter how busy you are, don’t forget to go to the toilet on time. In addition, many people are too busy to drink water. If you don’t drink enough water, your urine volume will naturally decrease, and the concentration of wastes and toxins carried in your urine will increase. Common kidney stones in clinic are closely related to insufficient drinking water for a long time. Director Shi stressed that it is necessary to develop the habit of drinking more water, and ensure at least 8 large cups of boiled water every day (Note: do not replace it with drinks). Drinking more water can dilute urine, let urine drain quickly, and help prevent stones.
