In modern society, many diseases are closely related to lifestyle habits. According to foreign media reports, if people choose a healthier lifestyle, about 1/4 of cancers can be effectively prevented.
Jiao Yonghua, 52 years old, who lives in Henan, is a motorcycle master. He has no culture, and in order to support his family, he gets up early every day and is greedy for night, just to carry a few more guests. Despite the hardships of life, he felt motivated to see his family's smiles as soon as he got home.
On May 29, 2019, Jiao Yonghua was on the way to see off a guest, when he suddenly felt a dull pain in his lower back, he suspected that he accidentally sprained his muscles and bones when turning, but he didn't care, thinking that he would just go home and rub some safflower oil.
Since then, he has often felt a little tired and has no appetite for eating, but he thought it was too hot and did not notice any abnormalities in his body.
On July 18, 2019, when Jiao Yonghua got up to urinate at night, he suddenly turned pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he felt a feeling of dizziness in his head. When his wife saw that his face was wrong, she persuaded him to go to the hospital for a check-up. Jiao Yonghua just smiled and said that he was tired, nothing serious, so he didn't need to go to the hospital and just get some sleep. The next morning, Jiao Yonghua felt a lot less uncomfortable, but he was still a little dizzy. He thought he was cold, so he went to the pharmacy and bought some cold medicine to eat.
After resting at home for a few days, Jiao Yonghua felt that his physical condition had almost recovered, so he stopped the medicine and continued to go out to work. It's just that since then, the number of times he gets up at night to go to the toilet has increased a lot, but he doesn't pay attention to it.
On October 22, 2019, when Jiao Yonghua was resting on the side of the street road, he suddenly felt a violent feeling of dizziness hit, he had no strength in his body, and he even couldn't see anything clearly in front of him.
When I went to the hospital, I went for an examination, and the results showed that the kidneys were atrophied and the cortex was thinned. The serum creatinine is as high as 900ummol/L, and the glomerular filtration rate is only 20ml/min. The serum creatinine level of normal people is 53~106μmolL. Clinically, the serum creatinine level greater than 133 μmolL was divided into four stages, and more than 707 μmolL was called the uremia stage, and Jiao Yonghua was finally diagnosed with uremia and needed dialysis treatment.
Uremia represents a severe impairment of kidney function that prevents them from maintaining their original physiological functions. The kidneys are like the water purifier in the human body, and we know that in life, when the water purifier is dysfunctional, it cannot purify and filter all kinds of impurities and harmful substances in the water resources. The same is true when the kidney function is impaired, and the inability to discharge various harmful toxins and substances from the body will cause endocrine and metabolic disorders in the body.
Blood containing toxins will accumulate in the body, causing various symptoms such as loss of appetite, poor appetite, indigestion, low or no urine, general edema, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other characteristics. When the patient develops uremia, he can only rely on dialysis to maintain the normal operation of the body. Artificial dialysis is the process of filtering the body's blood through artificial instruments and pipes, and then re-transporting the clean blood back into the body.
When the couple learned about the bad time of being diagnosed with uremia, they couldn't believe it for a while. However, when he heard the doctor's explanation and the clear data on the examination list, Jiao Yonghua's face instantly lost its blood. His face was pale, and his shoulders trembled uncontrollably. How could he have such a disease? When he heard that he would have to rely on dialysis for the rest of his life, he felt that life was worse than death. Jiao Yonghua's eyes were red, and he couldn't help but ask the doctor, his physical fitness has always been good, why did he suddenly get uremia?
After learning more about Jiao Yonghua's living habits, the doctor couldn't help but let out a long sigh after listening to Jiao Yonghua's answer. In recent years, 85% of cancer patients have been caused by unhealthy lifestyle habits, rather than the dominant role that DNA has always been believed. For example, poor eating habits, smoking, etc., will play a role in contributing to cancer.
The doctor shook his head and sighed, "Most of the various clinical diseases are actually caused by lifestyle. It's because you have these 5 bad habits that uremia will come to your door, it's so ignorant......"
The first habit is the abuse of drugs and health supplements
With the development of the economy and the improvement of the material level, the procurement of drugs has become very simple. In life, large and small pharmacies can be seen everywhere. However, long-term large amounts of drugs may cause irreversible damage to the body. For example, the abuse of some over-the-counter drugs, because drugs generally have side effects, improper use of drugs will cause damage to the kidneys, long-term use may also cause tubular necrosis, glomerulonephritis and other diseases, increase the probability of uremia.
At the same time, long-term consumption of various health products will also increase the metabolic burden on the kidneys. Over time, it will affect the normal physiological function of the kidneys to a certain extent.
The second habit is poor diet
Diet is an important source of energy for human beings, and a correct and reasonable diet can help people be more energetic, but wrong eating habits can bring damage to the body. For example, a high-salt diet, a high-fat diet, a high-protein diet, etc. Table salt, also known as sodium chloride, will increase the amount of sodium ions in the blood if you consume too much salt for a long time, so that the sodium ions in the kidneys that need to be filtered will increase. Since all food needs to be digested and absorbed, and the substances secreted also need to be excreted by the kidneys, the burden on the kidneys will increase, which may damage the kidney function.
The third habit is smoking and drinking
Smoking is bad for your health, and it's not just a slogan. Smoking and alcohol will increase the probability of cancer, alcohol can make the blood vessels of the glomeruli dilate, and drinking alcohol has a direct damage effect on the kidneys.
The fourth habit is to hold urine frequently
With the rapid development of society, people's time is becoming more and more fragmented, and many people feel that they don't have enough time. Some people have a bad habit of holding urine, and when urine accumulates in the bladder for a long time, it may cause bacteria to grow, which can lead to urinary tract infections, kidney infections, etc. In addition, bad habits such as not washing hands and not cleaning the urethra in time will increase the probability of bacterial infection, causing urinary tract infections and increasing the risk of disease.
The fifth habit is to stay up late often
The harm of staying up late for the body is not to be underestimated, the body does not rest, and the kidneys, liver and other important organs cannot rest, which may cause endocrine and metabolic disorders in the body and further cause various problems. In addition, not drinking water will also cause some damage to the kidneys, due to the lack of water in the body, metabolites will not be excreted in time, which may induce kidney disease.
All in all, as the standard of living improves, so do people's requirements for health. "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" once said that it is necessary to "cure the disease without curing the disease", that is to say, prevention is greater than treatment. Therefore, we must learn to take precautions before they happen. If you want to maintain a healthy body, you need to start with small things, starting with changes in lifestyle habits.
