Men's kidney deficiency is a habit of causing trouble, which is a problem that many men overlook. Below, let's introduce that men's kidney deficiency is a habit of causing trouble.
First, briefly determine whether you have kidney deficiency:
People with good kidney function have good mental health, light footsteps, good sleep, and good hearing and vision. On the contrary, people with poor kidney function often have frequent nocturia, dizziness, low back pain, soft legs, dark circles under the eyes, and are prone to hair loss.
In addition, to judge the quality of one's kidney function, one should also pay attention to daily urine output. Generally, a normal person's daily urine output should be around 1000-2000 milliliters (equivalent to 2-4 mineral water bottles). If it is more than 2500 milliliters or less than 800 milliliters, it may be due to kidney problems.
To prevent premature aging, modern people, especially white-collar workers, should strengthen physical exercise and timely nourish the symptoms of kidney deficiency and aging. If it is not an extremely weak population, tonifying the kidney should focus on calmness, and different methods should be chosen according to different seasons, constitutions, and climates, depending on the time, person, and location. This should be done under the guidance of a doctor.
What are the causes of kidney deficiency?
1. Genetic factors: Traditional Chinese medicine refers to kidney deficiency caused by insufficient innate endowment, which refers to the poor physical foundation given by parents.
2. Deficiency caused by illness: Some diseases can damage the kidney qi of the human body and cause kidney deficiency.
3. Physiological factors: As men and women age, they pass the peak of their lives and their health begins to decline, leading to physiological kidney deficiency. For Chinese men, kidney deficiency can occur after the age of 25.
4. Bad lifestyle:
1) Frequent holding of urine:
Urine in the bladder can breed bacteria over time, which can retrograde through the ureter to the kidneys, leading to urinary tract infections and pyelonephritis. Once repeated, it can cause chronic infection and is difficult to cure.
2) Eating seafood and drinking beer:
Eating a large amount of high protein diet, such as big fish and meat, can produce excessive metabolic waste such as uric acid and urea nitrogen, increasing the burden of kidney excretion. Drinking a large amount of alcohol can easily lead to hyperuricemia, which can also cause metabolic diseases such as hyperlipidemia and lead to kidney disease. Many people like to drink beer while eating seafood, which was once referred to as the "most kidney damaging way to eat" by nephrologists.
3) Taking medication indiscriminately or excessively:
Long term use of nephrotoxic drugs can easily lead to renal tubulointerstitial damage. These drugs include Chinese herbal medicines containing aristolochic acid components, such as Guanmu Tong, Guangfangji, Qingmu Xiang, etc., as well as non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, etc., such as Qutong tablets, paracetamol, etc., which can easily cause kidney damage.
4) Staying up late, eating salty, and not drinking water:
Long term staying up late, high work pressure, and a love for strong tea and coffee can easily lead to kidney function problems. Eating a salty diet can lead to an increase in blood pressure and the inability of the kidneys to maintain normal blood flow, leading to kidney disease.
If you don't drink water for a long time, your urine output will decrease, and the concentration of waste and toxins carried in your urine will increase, which can easily lead to kidney stones, hydronephrosis, and so on.
5. Drink strong tea after drinking.
Some people believe that drinking strong tea after drinking alcohol can alleviate alcoholism, but in fact, it is not only ineffective, but also harmful to the kidneys. Experts say that theophylline in tea can quickly affect the kidneys and exert diuretic effects. At this time, alcohol is excreted from the kidneys before it can be further decomposed, causing the kidneys to be stimulated by a large amount of ethanol, thereby damaging kidney function.
6. Excessive drinking of beverages.
Except for soda water, almost all beverages are acidic and contain some carbonated ingredients to some extent. Drinking beverages regularly can disrupt the acid-base balance in the body. If the body is slightly acidic, it will produce a large amount of uric acid, which increases the burden on kidney excretion.
