The kidney is an important organ that secretes urine, excretes waste and poisons, and can regulate the concentration of human electrolyte and maintain acid-base balance. In life, some living habits or behaviors often become important causes of renal function damage. In order to protect the kidney, we must be alert to the following "kidney injury" factors.
Eating too salty:
The diet is salty, especially the high salt content of some snacks, 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, and thus induce kidney disease.
Excessive drink:
Excessive intake of soft drinks and sports drinks will indirectly damage the kidney. The pH in human body is 7. 2. These drinks are generally highly acidic, and the pH of the body changes significantly after drinking. The kidney is the main organ that regulates the pH of the human body. Long-term excessive intake of soft drinks and sports drinks will burden the kidney and increase the probability of kidney damage.
Eat too soft bread:
There is a kind of food additive potassium bromate in bread and pastry, which can give the necessary gluten strength and elasticity to baked food, and taste soft, but excessive consumption will damage the central nervous system, blood and kidney.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer has listed it as a carcinogen.
Drinking strong tea after drinking:
Some people think that drinking strong tea after drinking can relieve alcoholism. In fact, it is not only ineffective, but also harmful to the kidney. Theophylline in tea can quickly affect the kidney and play a diuretic role. At this time, alcohol is discharged from the kidney before it can be decomposed again, causing the kidney to be stimulated by a large amount of alcohol, thus damaging the kidney function.
