Staying up late and drinking alcohol can easily harm the body. Not reading this article may harm the kidneys

With the accelerated pace of modern life, many men are overwhelmed and decline before they age. The first male organ to age is the kidney. Nowadays, the market is flooded with many kidney tonifying drugs, which in some cases also caters to market demand. In fact, as long as you cultivate good lifestyle habits and enhance exercise, you can completely get rid of medication and psychological control. Let's take a look at which "kidney injury" killers men should be vigilant about in daily life in order to take protective measures.

1、 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.

2、 Eating 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.

3、 Frequent holding of urine

Some people hold their urine for a long time due to busy work. Urine in the bladder for too long can easily breed bacteria, which can retrograde through the ureter to the kidneys, leading to urinary tract infections and pyelonephritis. Once this type of infection recurs, it can cause chronic infection and is difficult to cure. Patients may not only experience symptoms such as low back pain, frequent urination, and urgency, but may also develop into acute uremia.

4、 Drinking 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、 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.

7、 Eating too soft bread

There is a food additive potassium bromate in bread and pastries, which can provide the necessary gluten strength and elasticity for baked goods. It tastes soft and soft when eaten, but excessive consumption can damage the central nervous system, blood, and kidneys.

8、 Abuse of analgesics

Long term or high-dose use of some anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, such as painkillers, indomethacin, paracetamol, aspirin, etc., can easily cause kidney damage.

9、 Excessive consumption of certain Chinese herbal medicines

In recent years, it has been found that taking some Chinese herbal medicines (including traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations) can cause renal function damage. Chinese herbal medicines that can "harm the kidneys" include Tripterygium wilfordii, Guanmu Tong, morning glory, Xanthium sibiricum, poppy shell, raw Aconitum multiflorum, Shijunzi, Qingmu Xiang, Guangfangji, etc. Among them, Tripterygium wilfordii caused the most kidney damage, followed by Guanmu Tong. The reason why Guan Mutong injured the kidney is because it contains the nephrotoxic substance aristolochic acid.

【 Warm reminder 】: Renal damage can manifest as fatigue, dry mouth and tongue, loss of appetite, frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination, and even hematuria and sterile pyuria, accompanied by symptoms such as prostatitis, and even directly leading to the formation of prostatitis.
