The kidney is an important organ that helps filter the blood and remove toxins in the body. However, many poor evening habits can cause your kidneys to work too hard, causing long-term damage that you would not expect, according to the National Kidney Foundation.
1. Drink less water or not drink water before bed
Lack of water reduces blood flow through the kidneys, making it impossible for the kidneys to effectively eliminate toxins. This increases the risk of kidney stone formation and impairs kidney function over time.
2. Eat late at night or eat a lot of salt in the evening
Eating late at night, especially dishes high in salt, increases the burden on the kidneys in adjusting the water and salt balance. At the same time, salty foods increase blood pressure, one of the main causes of kidney damage.
3. Habits of taking harmful drugs or drinks before bed
Using too many painkillers, sleeping pills or drinking alcohol and coffee in the evening puts great pressure on the kidneys to eliminate and metabolize toxic substances. This increases the risk of kidney inflammation and kidney failure.
To protect your kidneys, you should maintain the habit of drinking enough water throughout the day, eating healthy and limit the use of unnecessary stimulants or medications before bed.
Changing bad habits in the evening not only helps keep the kidneys healthy but also improves sleep quality and overall health. Build a healthy lifestyle to keep your kidneys functioning effectively and durably over the years.
