Summer is a good opportunity for girls who love beauty to show off their bodies. In contemporary society, thin is the beauty. Some girls try their best to slim down in order to be beautiful, giving many manufacturers of weight-loss health care products a chance to take advantage of it. Doctor Tong of Shijiazhuang Nephropathy Hospital once received a patient, who was a top student and taught in a university. He was found to have uremia during the premarital examination. "The girl is usually in good health and has hardly suffered from serious illness," she said. What caused the doctor's suspicion was that a few years ago, the girl had drunk weight-loss tea for two months.
"This situation is not an exception." Dr. Tong said that some traditional Chinese medicine weight-loss tea contains an ingredient called "aristolochic acid", which has been proved to damage the renal tubules and induce renal injury. If the injury is acute, it may recover, if it is chronic, it will be irreversible, and may eventually evolve into uremia. If the injury is serious, it may also directly lead to uremia.
She said that according to the dose and personal constitution, even if the human body inhales aristolochic acid, it may or may not occur, and the time is uncertain, and it may occur many years later. At the initial stage of the disease, the general symptoms are emaciation, fatigue, abnormal urine and stool, etc.
At present, most popular weight-loss methods are wrong, such as eating only fruit, vegetables and rice, and controlling energy intake, but too low human energy will harm health. Some diuretic ways to lose weight will dehydrate the body itself. Over time, it will also damage the liver and kidney functions.
In addition, it is also necessary to remind consumers that before purchasing weight loss health food, in addition to verifying the authenticity of the product, it is better to consult with the doctor in the department of endocrinology or the hospital beauty center, and choose weight loss methods and weight loss health food that do not harm themselves.
