Zhang Xiaoming is a 35-year-old IT practitioner who has a rather irregular life due to high work pressure. His biggest problem is his love of bananas. Every day at noon and in the evening, he would feast on 4 or 5 bananas, and occasionally add 6 or 7 bananas.
At first, his colleagues just made fun of him for being a "foodie" and didn't pay much attention to his excessive intake of bananas. Who knew that as the days went by, Zhang Xiaoming actually had symptoms of proteinuria. After a medical check-up, the doctor diagnosed him with glomerulonephritis, most likely caused by excessive vitamin A intake.
"You really want to cut back on vitamin A, especially that part of it that comes from bananas. After all, bananas are rich in this nutrient. The director of the Department of Nephrology explained to Zhang Xiaoming, "Long-term excessive intake of vitamin A can easily induce glomerular damage, which can lead to glomerular nephritis." ＂
What the doctor didn't expect was that despite listening to the doctor's advice, Zhang Xiaoming did not completely give up bananas. "It's okay to eat some, right? And I've got two or less. He said.
Half a year has passed, but Zhang Xiaoming's kidney index has been declining, to the point where he needs to take renin calcium. "If you continue to eat like this, sooner or later your kidney function will fail. At that point, the only way to stay alive is dialysis or even a kidney transplant. The director's expression was serious and solemn.
Zhang Xiaoming was taken aback, he never thought that he would develop to this point one day. "Then I can't even eat bananas? He asked with some sadness, touching his stomach.
"For the time being. In the future, when your kidney function returns to normal, we will give you a diet that will allow you to eat bananas in moderation, but never be as presumptuous as before. ＂
In this way, Zhang Xiaoming had to stay away from his beloved banana and eat other fruits instead. After several tosses and turns, coupled with the doctor's careful treatment, his kidney function finally improved slowly. However, the doctor still warned him to pay extra attention to food hygiene in the future and avoid eating some foods that have the potential to damage his kidneys.
As can be seen from this incident, excessive intake of vitamin A can indeed damage kidney health and hinder its normal metabolic detoxification. Bananas are known as the "treasure trove of natural vitamin A", and if you don't eat them properly, they will damage your kidneys. Therefore, in our daily life, we still need to pay attention to a reasonable diet, balanced nutrition, do not become paranoid about a certain food, and avoid encounters like Zhang Xiaoming.
The reason why Zhang Xiaoming failed to attract enough attention for a while also reflects that the popularization of modern people's knowledge of nutrition still needs to be strengthened. People are accustomed to seeking the nutritional value of fruits and vegetables, but they often ignore the potential risks of excessive intake of certain nutrients. In fact, excessive intake of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients can also cause a burden on the body.
Therefore, there is an urgent need for people today to raise health awareness in this area. In addition to advocating a balanced diet, it is also necessary to formulate targeted nutritious dietary plans according to the physiological characteristics of different groups of people. Even if you are a picky eater, you should control it within a safe range under the guidance of a professional nutritionist to avoid the frequent occurrence of overnutrition.
Only when the government, medical institutions and individuals cooperate with each other and work together can health education work achieve twice the result with half the effort, so that the public can truly establish the concept of healthy eating and stay away from the problems of picky eating and nutritional imbalance. This is especially true for foods that are rich in specific nutrients, such as bananas, and people should pay more attention to their moderation than to blindly pursue them. After all, cherishing is always more valuable than regretting one percent afterwards.
