1, lifestyle of kidney injury
Don't like drinking water
Most men are not interested in drinking water, or even think it is unimportant, but in fact it is easy to cause great physical harm. Metabolic wastes in our bodies are mainly treated by the liver and kidneys. The kidney, which only accounts for 65,438+0% of the body weight, receives 65,438+0/4 of the total cardiac output, and 65,438+0 ~ 2 liters of blood pass through the kidney every minute. Therefore, the kidney receives far more waste than other organs. The most important thing for the kidney is to regulate the water-electrolyte balance in the human body, metabolize the wastes produced by physiological activities and excrete them with urine, but when it performs these functions, it needs enough water to assist.
Solution: Develop the habit of drinking plenty of water, which can dilute urine and make it excreted quickly. It can not only prevent stones, but also help dilute urine when eating too much salt, thus protecting the kidneys.
Like to drink beer
If you have kidney disease and drink a lot of beer without restriction, uric acid deposition will lead to renal tubular obstruction and renal failure.
Solution: If there is a problem with the kidney during the blood test, I am afraid that the renal function has been seriously damaged at this time. Instead of waiting for a blood test to understand the kidney, it is better to have a urine test regularly, because urine test is the easiest and quickest way to understand the kidney.
Improper consumption of vegetables and fruits
It is a common idea that eating more vegetables and fruits is good for health. However, for people with chronic renal insufficiency, vegetables and fruits, which are usually considered to help naturally lower blood pressure, contain high potassium, but long-term consumption will lead to impaired renal function. In fact, for people with poor renal function, potassium is also a component that will aggravate the work of the kidney, which is very harmful to the kidney.
Solution: If you have chronic renal insufficiency, you should pay attention to eating fruits and vegetables properly so as not to affect your kidneys. Don't drink too strong fruit and vegetable juice, hot pot soup and vegetable soup, and have a light diet.
Use drinks instead of boiled water.
Most men don't like the lightness of boiled water. In contrast, carbonated drinks such as soda and cola or drinks such as coffee naturally become the best substitute for boiled water. However, the caffeine contained in these drinks often leads to an increase in blood pressure, which is one of the important factors that damage the kidney.
Solution: Try to avoid drinking too many drinks, use boiled water instead, and insist on drinking 8 cups of boiled water every day to promote the timely discharge of toxins in the body.
Eating too much meat
The American Food Association once suggested that the human body's daily intake of protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight, which means that a person weighing 50 kilograms can only consume 40 grams of protein every day, so he can't eat more than 300 grams of meat a day, so as not to cause too much damage to the kidneys.
Solution: If urinary protein is found in urine and you eat too much meat, it will damage your kidney function in the long run. The intake of meat and bean products per meal should be controlled at the palm size of about 0.5 cm thick. If there are people with chronic nephritis, this amount should be reduced.
Overuse of painkillers
Studies have shown that long-term use of mixed painkillers will force the blood flow rate of the human body to decrease, which will seriously affect the function of the kidney. In addition, it is worth noting that patients with renal failure caused by painkillers are also more likely to develop bladder cancer.
Solution: No matter what kind of painkiller you take, it is only suitable for occasional use, and never take it for a long time. If you need to rely on painkillers for a long time, you must see a doctor for a thorough examination.
Eat too much salt
Salt is an important culprit to increase the burden on the kidneys. 95% of the salt in our diet is metabolized by the kidneys. If we eat too much salt, it will increase the burden on the kidneys. In addition, sodium in salt will make it difficult for the human body to excrete water, further increasing the burden on the kidneys, which will lead to the decline of renal function.
Solution: Scientific daily salt intake should be controlled within 6 grams, of which 3 grams can be obtained directly from daily food. Therefore, food seasoning should be kept within 3 to 5 grams. It is worth noting that there is a lot of salt in instant noodles, so people who often eat less are the best.
Excessive stress leads to high blood pressure.
Hypertension has become a great threat to modern people's health, which is largely caused by the excessive pressure of life and work, thus indirectly affecting the normal operation of the kidney. The common symptom of stress is insomnia. The average blood pressure of men is 5 to 10 mm Hg higher than that of women, and insomnia will increase blood pressure by 2 to 5 mm Hg on average.
Solution: It is generally difficult for young people to find out their high blood pressure, so no matter how old they are, it is best to measure their blood pressure every once in a while to prevent blood pressure from rising due to staying up late and excessive pressure.
Eating drugs and food from unknown sources
Acute renal failure caused by eating strange foods such as snake gall or grass carp gall is not uncommon. Many people even blindly take traditional Chinese medicine for aphrodisiac because of curiosity. In fact, many traditional Chinese medicines contain aristolochic acid and other nephrotoxic components, which will not only cause great harm to the kidneys, but also cause harm to the whole body.
Solution: Although fish gall or snake gall is often claimed to have the efficacy of aphrodisiac, clearing away heat and toxic materials or treating acne, even fish gall or snake gall used in traditional Chinese medicine must be specially treated to understand its toxicity, so don't take it blindly.
2. Suggestions on tonifying kidney.
1, use drugs with caution.
If you need to take medicine every day, try to choose drugs that have little damage to the kidney, try to use drugs under the guidance of a doctor, and remember not to take drugs indiscriminately. It should be said that no matter what medicine, there are certain side effects, so if you can not take medicine, try not to take it.
2. Pay attention to the warmth of the waist
The waist is the most vulnerable place to catch cold. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that wind evil entering the body is the greatest harm to the body. The part of the kidney is just at the waist, so you must pay attention to the warmth of the waist every day. Avoid kidney damage and renal function damage.
Step 3 control blood pressure
Especially in the elderly, the intima of renal artery is easy to thicken, and hypertension will make the disease develop faster. So pay attention to taking medicine on time. Usually, we should also pay attention to proper exercise to lose weight, which is more conducive to good health.
Step 4 drink plenty of water
Water is one of the best skin care products, especially for kidney health. Adequate water can reduce the concentration of toxic substances in the kidney, help waste to be discharged better, and help promote the health of the whole kidney.
5. Prevention of urinary tract infection
For example, prostatic hyperplasia in men and pelvic diseases in women may cause urinary tract infection, which is also one of the biggest causes of kidney damage. It is generally believed that urinary tract infection and liver injury are more likely to occur if you hold your urine regularly or do not pay attention to the cleanliness of private parts.
