The kidneys help us remove waste and toxins from the body and ensure that the blood is clean. If the kidneys are damaged, then our body is susceptible to disease. And our kidneys also need to be actively maintained and maintain good habits to improve their function.
However, many people now have a decline in kidney function due to various bad habits, which will not only drag down other organs in the body, but also threaten their physical health.
Therefore, we should also actively take care of our bodies in our daily lives. However, in the process of taking care of our kidneys, we will inevitably fall into some misunderstandings, which will lead to further damage to our body. Therefore, in the process of daily kidney nourishment, we need to distinguish carefully to prevent misunderstandings of health preservation.
Reminder: These "little common sense" or wrong ideas for kidney nourishment should be corrected in time
1. Blindly drink more water to nourish the kidneys
The kidneys are where urine is produced, and drinking enough water can indeed speed up the excretion of waste toxins, but that doesn't mean drinking more water is better. This is because if too much water is consumed, it will increase the burden on our kidneys to excrete, and even lead to serious consequences of water poisoning in the body's cells. Generally speaking, under normal circumstances, adults should drink about 2000 ml of water a day, and should drink plain water, not replace it with fruit juices, carbonated drinks and other drinks to avoid damage to health.
2. Blindly replenish the kidney
The kidneys can help us remove some toxins from the body in time and remove excess water and waste products from the body. Once even severely damaged, some changes occur in our body. In daily life, many people also use different methods to replenish their kidneys.
Some people even believe that once kidney deficiency occurs, they should take some kidney tonics. However, it is a drug that is poisonous in three parts, so the drug cannot be abused. It is necessary to find a doctor for professional diagnosis and treatment according to your own situation, otherwise it may cause harm to our health.
3. If the kidneys are not good, eat less protein
Protein is one of the body's three basic sources of energy and the basis for the synthesis of specific substances such as hair, nails, digestive enzymes, and neurotransmitters, which are essential for human health. However, there are also certain limits to people's need for protein, and excessive supplementation can have a negative impact on kidney metabolism.
Therefore, many health experts have put forward the one-sided view that "people with chronic kidney disease should reduce protein supplementation to avoid worsening the condition". Although there is some theoretical basis for this claim from a physiological point of view, we should focus more on "quality" than "quantity" when controlling protein intake.
For patients with poor kidney function, the intake of high-quality protein can be appropriately increased, which can not only protect kidney health, but also avoid the synthesis of substances that affect kidney health.
4. Kidney nourishment is only a boy's business
Many people think that kidney nourishment is something that men should pay attention to, and women don't need it. However, the kidneys are important organs for removing toxins from the body, and daily maintenance is necessary. So both men and women, having a good kidney will have a lot of benefits for our physical health.
5. Complement form with form
The phrase "eating kidneys can nourish the kidneys" can be said to have a wide influence in daily life, and is even respected by many people. However, the organs of animals are mostly high in fat, calories, and salt. If the supplement is excessive, it will not only lead to a rapid increase in cholesterol concentration in the body, but also may worsen conditions such as high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia, which can lead to the occurrence of kidney disease. At the same time, pork kidneys are also a typical high-purine component, and if you consume too much, it may also induce gout problems.
In conclusion, as one of the most important organs of our human body, the health of the kidneys is also closely related to our lifespan. Therefore, in the process of caring for the kidneys and treating kidney diseases, it is important to stay away from these misunderstandings, so that our kidneys can be protected from external factors, so as to better maintain the health of the kidneys.
In addition, for the average person, healthy kidneys generally do not need special nutrients to supplement. We just need to take good care of them in normal times, such as taking enough nutrients every day to not harm them, and checking our kidneys regularly every year, which is enough.
