A 22-year-old college student has kidney failure, and the doctor has repeatedly reminded him that he would rather be thirsty than drink these "waters"
The shocking incident of 22-year-old Li Lei, a computer science student, who was rushed to the hospital due to sudden kidney failure. He lived a regular and healthy life, never smoking or drinking, but a sudden illness confused everyone.
After a series of examinations on Li Lei, Dr. Zhang, a senior nephrologist, found that the problem may be due to Li Lei's recent change in drinking habits. In order to improve his learning efficiency, Li Lei began to drink a large amount of popular "energy water" on the market, which contains a high concentration of electrolytes and irritating components, and long-term consumption of large amounts of water has caused a heavy burden on the kidneys.
Dr Teo emphasised that despite the popularity of these "energy waters", the ingredients in them, such as sodium and caffeine, can severely impair kidney function if consumed in excess. He suggested that Li Lei should completely change his eating habits during the recovery period, especially to reduce the intake of caffeine and high-sodium foods, and increase the intake of water and fresh fruits and vegetables to help the kidneys detoxify and recover.
During the recovery process, Li Lei asked Dr. Zhang about other beverage ingredients to avoid. Dr. Teo replied that in addition to caffeine and high sodium, excessive sugar and artificial sweeteners can also increase the burden on the kidneys, and the safest beverage options are water or low-sodium and sugar-free natural drinks.
Li Lei also learned that even water has different types and qualities. Mineral water, purified water, well water, etc., on the market, have different compositions and treatment processes. Dr Cheung warns that some bottled water may affect water quality due to improper packaging or storage, and that household water purifiers can also be a source of bacterial growth if not properly maintained.
At Dr. Zhang's suggestion, Li Lei started using advanced water purification equipment and regularly replaced the filter cartridge to ensure the safety of drinking water. He also learned that potassium permanganate, a chemical substance, can also have adverse health effects if it remains in excess of drinking water. Dr. Zhang recommends using a source of water that is safe and that domestic water treatment equipment meets national safety standards.
Through this experience, Li Lei not only recovered physically, but also grew spiritually. He realized that a healthy lifestyle needs to be based on adequate knowledge and careful choices. (Note: The relevant picture resources come from the Internet, if there is any infringement, contact to delete)
