The kidney is an important organ responsible for filtering blood, balancing water, electrolytes and eliminating toxins. However, many people unintentionally destroy kidney function through wrong, long-term eating habits that lead to chronic kidney failure
Seemingly harmless habits silently destroy the kidneys every day. Therefore, housewives who prepare meals for their families need to know to avoid this risk.
Therefore, as a meal preparer for the family, housewives need to pay attention to avoid the following points:
Eating too much salt
Salt (sodium) increases the burden on the kidneys when they have to filter out excess. People who consume a lot of sodium are at high risk of high blood pressure and urinary albumin - signs of premature kidney damage. The World Health Organization recommends only using less than 5g of salt/day.
Eat more processed foods
Boxes, sausages, and instant noodles contain a lot of inorganic phosphate, preservatives, and hidden sodium. Inorganic phosphate is easily absorbed and increases the risk of kidney tissue fibrosis, especially in people with weak kidney function.
Drink less water
Not providing enough water causes urine to clump, increasing the risk of kidney stones and urinary tract infections. These are 2 common causes of kidney failure. Experts recommend drinking 1.52 liters of water per day, depending on activity level and weather.
Eat plenty of Dam, especially animal Dam
A diet high in protein, especially from red meat, increases the production of urea and creatinine, causing great filtering pressure on the kidneys. A prolonged diet rich in protein reduces the rate of renal filtering - a sign of chronic kidney failure.
Using too much sugar and soft drinks
Sugar and fructose in soft drinks cause insulin resistance, contributing to damage to the microchips in the kidneys. People who consume a lot of soft drinks are at higher risk of kidney failure than those who drink less.
