People with healthy kidneys live longer.

With the increase of age, the physiological changes of the elderly, especially the decline of liver and kidney function, the kidney plays an important role in the human body, so we should pay attention to the maintenance of the kidney. With good renal function, people's energy will be vigorous, prolong life and stay away from diseases. So, what small things should be done in kidney maintenance?

People with poor kidneys often have four manifestations after getting up in the morning. If the following situations occur, you should be careful of kidney problems.

1. Heel pain

The foot is the second heart of the human body, and the kidney meridian starts from the sole of the foot. Deficiency of kidney qi will affect the heel, causing obvious wear or pain. If not, the kidneys are still healthy.

2. Low back pain

The kidney is the most important organ of the human body, maintaining blood balance; Once the kidney is damaged, it will cause the disorder of the body system and induce various diseases! The kidneys are located on both sides of the lumbar spine and directly correspond to the kidneys. Once kidney deficiency, it will affect the waist. In the morning, I will feel unbearable pain and difficulty bending over, accompanied by soreness and weakness in my waist and knees.

3. Edema

Because the kidney is our main metabolism and excretion organ, the water in the human body is mainly excreted in the kidney through urine. Therefore, if the kidney is not good, the excretion function will be weakened, leading to water retention in the body. Edema will appear in the morning. If the body always appears edema around noon, we will go to the hospital for examination!

4. Abnormal urine color

Normal human urine is clear and transparent light yellow. If the urine turns brown or red at the beginning of urination, or there are many small and persistent bubbles in the urine, we should be alert to whether there is something wrong with the kidney. Because there may be few small molecular proteins in normal urine, macromolecular proteins and blood cells cannot be excreted through glomerulus, but if glomerulus is damaged and renal function is damaged, blood cells or macromolecular proteins may be excreted with urine. Will reflect the symptoms of hematuria.

5. Loss of appetite

In kidney is not good's case, there will be gastrointestinal symptoms, first manifested as loss of appetite, and then there will be gastrointestinal diseases such as halitosis, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea and peptic ulcer.

These digestive tract symptoms are due to the fact that urea discharged from human digestive tract can't be discharged by kidneys normally, and accumulates in digestive tract, which causes bacteria to decompose into ammonia and irritate gastric mucosa, thus affecting digestive function.

Good habit of protecting kidneys;

1. Don't eat too salty breakfast.

Do not eat salty food in the morning. Many people eat all kinds of pickled and smoked foods together in the morning. Eat a lot of salt. In fact, these are not conducive to the health of the kidneys. Excessive salt intake can easily lead to hypertension, which is very harmful to the kidneys and easily leads to hypertensive nephropathy. Daily salt intake is less than 4g; The daily salt intake of patients with edema and hypertensive nephropathy is less than 2 3g.

2. Don't hold your urine

For people who know how to maintain their kidneys, they will insist on urinating in time after getting up every morning, which is an effective way to maintain their kidneys. Many people feel obviously when they first get up, but they are in a hurry to do other things, brush their teeth first and don't urinate in time. These behaviors may damage the kidney, which is not conducive to the maintenance of the kidney. Don't always hold your urine. Is this a good habit? In the long run, urine will breed a lot of bacteria. When urine returns, these bacteria can easily damage the kidneys and induce urinary tract infection.

3. Drink a glass of water in the morning

Proper hydration after getting up in the morning is the key to staying healthy. Many people always think of drinking water when they are thirsty. At this time, the body is obviously short of water and sends a signal. Once drinking water is insufficient, the concentration of waste and toxins in urine will increase, which will easily lead to diseases and hydronephrosis in kidney calculi and damage the health of kidneys. Therefore, the maintenance of kidneys must develop good drinking habits.
