What dietary habits can harm men's kidneys
1. Eating too much meat
Eating too much meat can cause damage to the kidneys. The intake of meat per meal should be controlled at a palm size of approximately 0.5 centimeters in thickness. If you already have kidney related diseases and regularly consume a large amount of alcohol, it can cause uric acid deposition and cause renal tubular obstruction, which can easily lead to kidney failure.
2. Overindulgence in drinking and eating
In modern society, people have a lot of time for gatherings and often consume excessive amounts of "delicious" food due to gatherings. The food they consume ultimately produces waste materials such as uric acid and nitrogen. And most of these waste products are excreted from the body through the kidneys. If you don't control your diet, it will undoubtedly bring a burden to your kidneys.
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 too little water
If you don't drink water for a long time in your life, your body's urine output will decrease, and the concentration of waste and toxins carried in urine will increase at this time. The phenomena such as kidney stones and hydronephrosis that we see in clinical practice are all related to long-term non drinking of water. Adequate drinking water can help us dilute urine, protect our kidneys, and facilitate the discharge of waste and toxins from the body.
5. 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.
6. Eating too soft bread
There is a type of food in bread and pastries that adds potassium bromate, which can give the necessary gluten strength and elasticity to baked goods. It tastes soft to eat, but excessive consumption can damage the central nervous system, blood, and kidneys. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has listed it as a carcinogen.
7. 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.
8. 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.
