There are many reasons for kidney disease, among which bad eating habits are a very important reason.
Water is the source of life and kidney is the foundation of nature. I would rather have no food for three days than no water for one day!
Usually, we always emphasize drinking 8 glasses of water every day, but how to drink it is more conducive to the health of the kidneys? Some people say that drinking more water is more harmful to the kidneys, so in daily life, people with poor kidneys almost dare not drink water. Is there any scientific reason for this statement? Let's take a look.
The kidney is an important metabolic organ in the body. When we drink water, water enters the body through the stomach and intestines. These two parts will absorb some water, which will enter the blood circulation after about half an hour to an hour, and reach various tissues and organs along the blood vessels to replenish water for the water-deficient parts.
Finally, the excess water and waste collected from various places enter the kidney for filtration, just like the filter in the body, which filters out the excess water and dirt in the blood, turns it into urine, and finally excretes it.
It can be seen that the more water you drink, the more water you pass through your kidneys and the more urine you excrete.
In fact, there are 1 10,000 to 2 million nephrons in our two kidneys. For normal blood flow, the kidney only needs to open about 1/4 nephrons to complete the work needs. When the blood volume increases due to the increase of drinking water, the kidney will arrange more good unit work.
So in general, if the kidney is healthy, drinking more water without disease and inflammation will not hurt the kidney.
However, people with renal insufficiency, renal damage and nephropathy will increase the burden on the kidneys and damage their health if they drink more water, which will cause the kidneys in the body to fail to work normally.
For people with kidney disease, it is not advisable to drink too much water every day, and don't drink a lot of water in a short time, which will bring more pressure to the kidneys and is not conducive to health.
Drink water when you are thirsty.
Some people don't like drinking water, and they don't have time to drink water when they are busy with work. They didn't want to drink water until they were thirsty to the limit. At this time, the body has been short of water for a long time, which will affect the health and metabolism of the kidney. Over time, the damage to the kidneys is very serious.
Drink water instead of water.
Some people think that boiled water is too tasteless, so they like to buy drinks. Although the drink tastes good, long-term drinking of the drink is very harmful to the kidney, because there are many additives and sugar in the drink, and it will destroy the health of the kidney little by little if the drink is often used instead of water.
Drink too much water before going to bed.
Some people like to put a glass of water beside their bed before going to bed, so that they can occasionally wake up in the middle of the night and drink it when they are thirsty. Some people just like to drink a glass of water before going to bed. If they drink a lot of water before going to bed for a long time, it will increase the metabolic burden of the kidneys, and edema will easily appear after getting up the next day, which will slowly endanger the health of the kidneys, so it is best not to drink water one hour before going to bed.

Soak your feet and massage your soles.
Soaking feet before going to bed is also a very good habit. If we can persist in soaking feet before going to bed every night and massage after soaking feet, first, there is a very important acupoint, Yongquan, which belongs to the kidney meridian, which can achieve the effect of nourishing and protecting the kidney and relieving fatigue.
Conclusion: For people with poor kidneys, it is often not because they drink too much water, but because they drink too little water. Drinking plenty of water properly can relieve constipation, improve intestinal problems and regulate electrolyte balance in the body. Therefore, at ordinary times, everyone should ensure about 1500~2000 ml of water, don't drink too much at a time, and drink water regularly and quantitatively.
