Develop four small habits to protect your kidneys and keep you away from kidney disease!

1. Eat light food

95% of the salt in the diet is metabolized by the kidneys. Excessive intake of salt will increase the burden on the kidneys, leading to increased blood pressure, thus inducing kidney disease. According to dietary guidelines, the daily salt intake should not exceed 6 grams, which is the amount of a full beer bottle cap.

2. Don’t overeat

Eating too much protein will produce excessive metabolic waste such as uric acid and urea nitrogen, which will increase the burden on the kidneys.

Drinking large amounts of alcohol can easily lead to metabolic diseases such as hyperuricemia and hyperlipidemia, and induce kidney disease.

3. Don’t hold your urine

If urine remains in the bladder for too long, it may cause bacteria to multiply and infect the urinary tract.

Frequent urinary tract inflammation may cause inflammation to retrograde to the kidneys and affect kidney function.

4. Drink enough water

A healthy adult should drink 1500-1700 ml of water a day, which is 7-8 disposable paper cups.

If you drink too little water for a long time, your urine volume will decrease, and the concentration of waste and toxins carried in the urine will increase, which can easily cause kidney stones.

If you have edema, heart failure, kidney failure, etc., you need to follow the doctor's instructions.
