Kidney disease is known as a "silent killer," and even if it hurts, you may not feel it. You often see in the news that someone goes to see a doctor due to anorexia, anemia, or fatigue, only to discover that they are in the advanced stage of uremia!
In fact, 1 in 10 people in our country suffer from kidney disease! According to a recent study published in the top international medical journal "The Lancet", the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in adults in China is as high as 10.8%.
The kidneys are quite delicate and vulnerable to injury. Seven behaviors that are harmful to the kidneys, don't do it again!
Drink too many drinks
Excessive intake of soft drinks and sports drinks can indirectly damage the kidneys. The pH in the human body is 7.35, and these drinks are generally highly acidic, which can increase the burden of kidney acid excretion after drinking.
Often hold urine
"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 and pyelonephritis.".
Overeating
Modern people have more opportunities to dine together, often overeating, and ultimately producing waste uric acid and urea nitrogen.
Drinking too little water
"If you do not drink water for a long time, your urine volume will decrease, and the concentration of waste and toxins carried in your urine will increase.".
Eating too soft bread
Potassium bromate, a food additive found in bread and pastries, can impart the necessary gluten strength, elasticity, and soft taste to baked goods. However, excessive consumption of potassium bromate can damage the central nervous system, blood, and kidneys.
Drinking strong tea after drinking alcohol
Theophylline in tea can quickly affect the kidneys and exert diuretic effects. At this time, alcohol is discharged from the kidneys before it can be decomposed again, causing the kidneys to be stimulated by a large amount of alcohol, thereby damaging renal function.
Eating too salty
Eating a salty diet can lead to increased blood pressure and inability to maintain normal blood flow in the kidneys, leading to kidney disease.
