The kidneys are the urinary organs of the human body, located on both sides of the lower back; The kidney has a filtering function, and the human body's blood is filtered through the glomerulus, excreting a large amount of metabolic wastes from the body, so the kidney is also known as the "cleaner" of blood.
At the same time, the kidneys also have an absorption function, reabsorbing and utilizing most of the nutrients that are beneficial to the human body, including water. Therefore, the more powerful the kidney function, the more nutrients and water can be continuously replenished to the human body, so kidney function is also an important indicator of human health.
However, some men, due to various bad living habits, such as smoking and drinking, staying up late, excessive indulgence and other behaviors, resulting in a decline in kidney function, "sub-health" phenomenon is more serious, so men should pay attention to the maintenance of the kidney.
Male kidneys are not good, it is necessary to control drinking water
For men with strong kidneys, drinking plenty of water can promote blood circulation, accelerate detoxification and purify the human body by forming a large amount of urine. However, for poor kidney function, drinking too much water will increase the metabolic burden of the kidneys. Especially before going to bed, if you drink too much water, it will also affect the quality of sleep, which is also not conducive to kidney health.
Therefore, men with poor kidneys should control the intake of water, which can neither be too much, increase the burden of kidney metabolism, nor too little, which will affect the normal function of the human body. It is common to make it a habit to drink water at any time and drink less often. If you don't feel thirsty before going to bed, you can generally skip it. The total amount of water drunk per day is controlled at 1000-1500 ml. At the same time, pay attention to a light diet, especially high-oil, high-salt, high-sugar foods to eat less, which will affect the human water cycle.
People with poor kidneys, drink 3 kinds of water less:
1. Alcoholic beverages
Such as beer, white wine, red wine, homemade rice wine and some foreign wine, charm liquid and other cocktail drinks, it is best not to eat for people with poor kidneys. Of course, for a healthy human body, you should also eat as little as possible.
After alcohol enters the human body, the concentration of alcohol in the blood will soar, and only a small amount will be excreted through the respiratory tract, and most of it needs to be broken down by the liver and finally excreted through the kidneys. Therefore, for people with poor kidneys, it is better to quit alcohol.
2. Carbonated drinks
Carbonated drinks contain high levels of carbonic acid, which is a product produced by the combination of water and carbon dioxide, and eating too much will also increase the metabolic burden on the kidneys. In addition, most carbonated drinks also contain extremely high levels of sugars, preservatives and other additives. For a healthy human body, it is not advisable to drink more.
Also, don't eat too much like coffee, strong tea, and other sugary beverages. The best drink is warm boiled water, of course, you can also put some flower tea, such as goji berries, etc., do not add sugar as well.
3. Thick broth
Broth, or bone broth after a long period of boiling, the nutritional value is very high, but contains high purine substances and cholesterol, purine is eventually metabolized to uric acid, can only be excreted through urine; If there is a problem with the metabolic function of the kidneys, resulting in high uric acid in the blood, urate crystals will be formed, which will precipitate in the kidneys or joints of the human body, endangering human health.
Therefore, for people with poor kidneys, or patients with high uric acid and gout, it is not advisable to drink thick broth, and meat should also be controlled. In terms of diet, we should pay attention to lightness, eat more fresh vegetables, and eat less processed foods such as pickled vegetables, bacon, sausages, ham sausages and other foods with high salt content. At the same time, more protein is not better.
People with bad kidneys should stick to 3 things, and the kidneys will slowly get better
1. Adhere to reasonable exercise
Exercise can not only exercise the body, strengthen the body and bones; It can also promote blood circulation, improve human metabolic function, and help the repair of kidney function. However, exercise is not that more is better, but that reasonable exercise needs to be controlled to prevent overwork. Of course, the more regular exercise is, the more beneficial it is to human health.
2. Get a good night's sleep
When the human body is in a deep sleep state at night, the body's metabolic function slows down, and the kidneys begin to repair. Therefore, high-quality sleep is one of the best ways to nourish the kidneys.
According to statistics, the human body falls asleep between 9-10 o'clock every night, the easiest to fall asleep, the longer the human body is in deep sleep, for people with poor kidneys, try not to miss this "golden sleep time" to nourish the kidneys, try to avoid staying up late (falling asleep at more than 11 o'clock, regarded as staying up late).
Before going to bed, you can relax your mood by soaking your feet, taking a hot bath, massage, staying away from mobile phones, listening to some relaxing music, drinking some hot milk, etc., and have the habit of promoting sleep.
3. Eat more black foods
Black foods are good for the kidneys, but they are also graded. For example, the difference is black beans, black rice, etc., because this is a complete food, compared to mulberries, it is much worse, because mulberries are medicinal.
The benefits of mulberries to the human body are mainly to prevent iron deficiency, nourish yin and kidney, and help digestion, but mulberries can not be eaten every day, eaten all the time, because it is also easy to make up for strength, so you must also consult a professional doctor and pay attention to the dosage.
