Kidney health is essential for men to be energetic and confident, but some bad habits are damaging their kidney health and men must not ignore them. Today, we will introduce some bad habits that can damage kidney health, such as drinking beer, loving soup, drinking strong tea after drinking, drinking too little water... Men must correct these habits!
These bad habits in men can damage kidney health
1. I love drinking beer. If you have already contracted kidney diseases and drink beer without restriction, it can cause uric acid deposition, leading to renal tubular obstruction and kidney failure. If problems are found with the kidneys during a blood test, it is possible that the kidney function has already been severely damaged. Instead of waiting for a blood test to understand the kidneys, it is better to have regular urine tests as they are the easiest and fastest way to understand the kidneys.
2. Tiantian Laohuo Tang contains a lot of purines. Cantonese people like to drink a bowl of aged and delicious soup during meals. Lao Huo Liang Tang usually adds a lot of meat and simmers for two to three hours. If boiled for a long time, a large amount of purine will dissolve into the broth. Frequent consumption of Laohuo Tang with high levels of purine can cause uric acid to accumulate in the blood, leading to an increase in uric acid content, which can easily lead to gout and damage the kidneys.
3. Seafood paired with beer. This is a common behavior among people in many coastal cities. Eating seafood while drinking chilled beer on a hot summer day feels like a pleasure. In fact, it is harmful to health because such habits can lead to an increase in uric acid and directly harm the health of the kidneys. Therefore, drinking beer with seafood alone is not feasible.
4. Drink strong tea after drinking. Some people believe that drinking strong tea after drinking alcohol can alleviate alcoholism, but in fact, it is not only ineffective, but also harmful to the kidneys. The theophylline in tea can quickly affect the kidneys and exert diuretic effects. At this time, alcohol is excreted from the kidneys before it can be further decomposed, causing the kidneys to be stimulated by a large amount of ethanol, thereby damaging kidney function.
5. Drinking too little water. If one does not drink water for a long time, urine output will decrease, and the concentration of waste and toxins carried in urine will increase. Common kidney stones and hydronephrosis in clinical practice are closely related to prolonged periods of non drinking water. Drinking plenty of water can dilute urine, protect the kidneys, and facilitate the full discharge of waste and toxins.
6. The pressure is too high. Excessive stress can lead to insomnia and mental tension, which may cause an increase in blood pressure and indirectly affect the normal functioning of the kidneys. Over time, this can cause significant damage to the kidneys. Young people generally find it difficult to detect their high blood pressure, so regardless of age, it is best to take blood pressure measurements every other period of time and prevent staying up late and excessive stress from causing blood pressure to rise.
7. Excessive drinking of beverages. Excessive intake of soft drinks and sports drinks can indirectly damage the kidneys. The pH in the human body is 7.2, and these beverages are generally highly acidic. After drinking, the pH in the body changes significantly. The kidney is the main organ that regulates the acidity and alkalinity of the human body. Long term excessive consumption of soft drinks and sports drinks can burden the kidneys and increase the probability of kidney damage.
8. Improper consumption of vegetables and fruits. Eating more vegetables and fruits is beneficial for health, which is a common belief among people. However, for people with chronic kidney dysfunction, vegetables and fruits, which are commonly considered to help naturally lower blood pressure, contain high potassium components. Long term consumption can actually cause damage to their kidney function. If you suffer from chronic kidney dysfunction, you should pay attention to eating vegetables and fruits appropriately to avoid affecting the kidneys. Do not drink too strong vegetable and fruit juice, hot pot soup, or vegetable soup, and prefer a light diet.
9. Overindulgence in drinking and eating. Modern people have more opportunities to dine together and often consume excessive amounts of "delicious" food, which ultimately produces waste such as uric acid and urea nitrogen. Most of these wastes are excreted through the kidneys, and excessive diet will undoubtedly increase the burden on the kidneys.
10. The diet is too salty. The diet is salty, especially some snacks with too high salt content, such as eating potato chips, instant noodles, etc., will make people unconsciously absorb excessive salt, resulting in high blood pressure, kidney blood can not maintain normal flow, thus inducing kidney disease.
