Li Ming is a programmer at an IT company and is only 35 years old.
Due to his busy work, he often works overtime and stays up late, and his diet is not very regular, and sitting for a long time and moving less has become the norm.
Gradually, he began to feel that his health was getting worse and worse, his back was sore, his appetite was lost, and his weight was significantly reduced.
At first, Li Ming only regarded it as a sub-health state caused by work pressure, and didn't pay much attention to it.
Until one day, he suddenly felt dizzy on the way to work, stood unsteadily, and almost fell. Seeing this, his colleagues rushed him to the hospital.
In the hospital, the doctor gave Li Ming a series of detailed examinations, and found that his kidney function indicators were seriously abnormal, creatinine and urea nitrogen were significantly elevated, and he was diagnosed with chronic renal failure.
Li Ming couldn't believe his ears, he didn't understand how he could get this kind of disease when he had always lived a fairly regular life?
In the face of Li Ming's doubts, the doctor patiently explained: "Chronic renal failure is a disease in which kidney function gradually deteriorates, and the course of the disease is generally long, and the early symptoms are not obvious, and it is often ignored.
Young people like you, who work at high intensity for a long time, stay up late and work overtime, and have irregular schedules are actually at high risk of kidney failure.
Coupled with your lack of exercise, your kidneys will not be able to rest and repair effectively for a long time, and their function will naturally become worse and worse. "
After listening to the doctor's words, Li Ming seemed to understand a little.
He recalls that he is usually very busy at work, and even if he occasionally has time to exercise, he always wants to squeeze in time to exercise more.
They often exercise at high intensity and for a long time, and they always like to pour cold drinks or energy drinks after exercise, and they never care about the harm that these habits may bring.
Li Ming couldn't help asking: "Doctor, I remember that many health science popularizations say that regular exercise is good for physical health, why is it counterproductive to me?" Is it the wrong way I'm exercising?"
The doctor nodded and said, "You're right.
Moderate and regular exercise is good for your health, but excessive exercise or wrong exercise habits can take a toll on your body, especially for your weak kidneys.
Many people like to hydrate a lot during strenuous exercise, thinking that the more they sweat, the more water they need to compensate.
As everyone knows, this practice is not only unscientific, but will increase the burden of kidney excretion.
Did you know that when the human body consumes a large amount of water in a short period of time, the osmotic pressure in the blood drops dramatically, and the kidneys have to speed up the excretion of water in order to maintain the stability of the internal environment?
In the long run, the workload of the renal unit time increases greatly, which can lead to damage to kidney function over time.
The correct course of action should be to rehydrate in small amounts and adjust the amount of water you drink at all times according to the color of your urine. "
"There are also some people who blindly take some supplements or drugs from unknown sources in order to improve their athletic performance, which is even more harmful.
Some illegally added supplements may contain nephrotoxic substances, which can cause irreversible damage to the kidneys when taken over a long period of time.
Even if you buy sports supplements from regular channels, excessive consumption will increase the metabolic burden on the kidneys.
Some supplement ingredients, such as creatine, are metabolized in the body to produce creatinine, which increases blood creatinine levels and increases the burden on the kidneys.
In addition, there is another point that many people often overlook, that is, do not stop suddenly after strenuous exercise, but slowly restore your heart rate to allow your body to cool down gradually.
When a person exercises vigorously, the body will produce a large amount of lactic acid, creatinine and other metabolic wastes.
If you have a motor arrest, these metabolites cannot be excreted with sweat in time and accumulate in the blood, which may induce acute kidney injury.
In fact, every year, many athletes need emergency or even dialysis for this reason. "
After listening to the doctor's explanation, Li Ming suddenly realized.
He recalls that he had made similar mistakes when exercising, sometimes taking some "special" supplements recommended by friends for pleasure.
If you never pay attention to stretching and relaxing after high-intensity exercise, it is no wonder that your body will be exhausted.
Looking at Li Ming's guilty look, the doctor comforted: "Young man, don't blame yourself too much.
Although chronic kidney failure cannot be completely cured, through standardized medication and lifestyle modifications, it is completely possible to delay the progression of the disease and allow you to maintain a normal life and work.
The key is to build confidence in overcoming the disease, to be patient and to actively cooperate with the treatment.
I am confident that you will be able to overcome this difficult time and regain your health. "
Li Ming nodded gratefully, and secretly made up his mind to follow the doctor's instructions and get rid of his bad habits of life and exercise.
Face the challenges of the disease with a positive and optimistic attitude and strive to recover health as soon as possible.
To sum up, exercise is not the culprit of kidney failure, the key is to grasp the "degree" of exercise and avoid wrong exercise habits.
Moderate and regular exercise can enhance physical fitness and protect kidney health, while excessive or blind exercise can be counterproductive and accelerate the deterioration of kidney function.
For the general public, when exercising, we must avoid blind comparison, but step by step and do what we can.
At the same time, it is necessary to develop a scientific exercise habit and replenish water in small amounts and many times during exercise.
Avoid blindly taking supplements from unknown sources, and do a good job of stretching and relaxing after exercise, so that the body can get enough rest and recovery.
In addition, regular screening is also important. Diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity are all risk factors for kidney failure, and it is necessary to do a good job in the prevention and management of these diseases.
For people with a family history of kidney disease, regular renal function tests should be done for early detection and early intervention.
Only by establishing a correct concept of health and developing scientific living habits can we truly gain health through sports, stay away from the troubles of diseases, and make life bloom with more brilliant brilliance.
