Top-6 Bad Habits That Cause Kidney Damage by amzee(m): 10:23pm On May 11, 2015
1. Delaying going to a toilet
Keeping your urine in your bladder for
too long
is a bad idea. A full bladder can cause
bladder
damage. The urine that stays in the
bladder
multiplies bacteria quickly. Once the
urine
refluxes back to the ureter and
kidneys, the
toxic substances can result in kidney
infections, then urinary tract
infections, and
then nephritis, and even uremia.
When nature
calls – do it as soon as possible.
:
2. Eating too much salt
You should eat no more than 5.8
grams of salt
daily. Too much of salt does great
damage to
the kidney.
:
3. Eating too much meat
Too much protein in your diet is
harmful for
your kidneys. Protein digestion
produces
ammonia – a toxin that is very
destructive to
your kidneys. More meat equals more
kidney
damage.
:
4. Drinking too much caffeine
Caffeine is a component of many
sodas and
soft drinks. It raises your blood
pressure and
your kidneys start suffering. So you
should cut
down the amount of coke you drink
daily.
:
5. Not drinking water
Our kidneys should be hydrated
properly to
perform their functions well. If we
don’t drink
enough, the toxins can start
accumulating in
the blood, as there isn’t enough fluid
to drain
them through the kidneys. Drink more
than 10
gla$$es of water daily. There is an
easy way
to check if you are drinking enough
water: look
at the colour of your urine; the lighter
the
colour, the better.
:
6. Late treatment
Treat all your health problems
properly and
have your health checked regularly.
:
HEALTH IS WEALTH
