The kidney is an important organ of the human body. Its basic function is to generate urine, thereby clearing metabolic products, certain wastes, and poisons in the body. At the same time, through the reabsorption function, it retains water and other useful substances, such as glucose, protein, amino acids, sodium ions, potassium ions, and sodium bicarbonate, to regulate water and electrolyte balance and maintain acid-base balance.
The kidney also has endocrine functions, producing renin, erythropoietin, active vitamin D3, prostaglandins, and kinins. It is also a degradation site for some endocrine hormones in the body and a target organ for extrarenal hormones.
These functions of the kidneys ensure the stability of the internal environment of the organism and enable normal metabolism. "Then many men's unintentional behavior in their lives can damage their kidneys. Let's take a look at the details.".
01 Frequent urination and insufficient drinking water
"Urine can easily breed bacteria in the bladder for too long, which can retrograde through the ureter to the kidneys, leading to urinary tract infections.". This type of infection, once repeated, can lead to chronic pyelonephritis, which is also one of the causes of renal failure.
"I don't like drinking water. The metabolic waste in the body is mainly handled by the liver and kidneys. The kidneys are most important for mediating the balance of water and electrolytes in the body, metabolizing the waste generated by physiological activities, and excreting it in the urine. However, when performing these functions, they need sufficient water to provide assistance.".
02 The diet is slightly salty and water is not easily drained
"95% of the salt in our diet is metabolized by the kidneys. If we eat too salty, the burden on the kidneys naturally increases.". In addition, sodium in salt can make it difficult for the human body to excrete water, further increasing the burden on the kidneys, leading to decreased renal function.
At the same time, eating too salty can lead to increased blood pressure, and kidney blood cannot maintain normal flow, leading to kidney disease. It is recommended to control the salt intake within 6 grams per day.
03 Overdrinking and overeating
The living conditions of modern people are better. Many families eat chicken, fish, meat and eggs every day. These high-fat diets will not only make the body fat, induce hypertension, diabetes, etc., but also increase the burden on the kidneys. Because overeating and overeating can require a large amount of digestive fluid in a short period of time, significantly increasing the burden on accessory digestive organs.
If we eat too much at ordinary times, which exceeds the body's needs, we will eventually generate too much metabolic waste. Most of these wastes are discharged through the kidneys, which naturally increases the burden on the kidneys. At the same time, it can also aggravate the existing renal damage in patients with kidney disease.
04 Excessive drinking height
Acidic beverages
Most people do not like the bland and tasteless nature of boiled water. In contrast, carbonated beverages such as soda and cola or beverages such as coffee have naturally become the best alternative to boiled water.
However, the caffeine contained in these beverages often leads to a rise in blood pressure, which is one of the important factors that can cause kidney damage.
05 Substance abuse, kidney poisoning
Most of the drugs we usually take are excreted through the kidneys. If there are too many types of drugs and the dosage is too large, it will damage the structure and function of the kidneys. Symptoms such as fatigue, dry mouth, lack of appetite, nausea, anorexia, frequent urination, urgency, and increased nocturnal urination, especially such as somitol tablets, indomethacin, and aspirin, are more likely to cause kidney damage if abused. Some can directly cause acute drug-induced interstitial nephritis with tubular necrosis, occasionally with nephrotic syndrome, and even lead to renal failure and death.
Kidney tonic food?
01 Leek
Chinese chives are the most widely known. They are also known as "yangcao" in folk, and they also have cough relieving effects. So, if you want to please your daughter-in-law, men should eat quickly to make themselves stronger!
02 Mutton
Since ancient times, China has compared lamb with ginseng, believing that it is a top grade meat that warms, strengthens, and strengthens the body. Modern nutrition has also confirmed that mutton is not only nutritious, but also contains trace sexual hormones, which indeed has the effect of tonifying the kidney. However, mutton should not be eaten with vinegar or tea, otherwise it will reduce the effect of tonifying the kidney, produce tannic protein, and cause constipation.
03 Apple
Apple is the king of fruits, not only has an attractive taste, but also contains a large amount of antioxidants, vitamins, and other nutrients. Apple also has anti-inflammatory effects, and is a good product for protecting the kidney. An apple a day can not only protect the kidneys, but also whiten the skin and resist oxidation!
