Love Your Kidney By Eating Healthily

Food is bound up to our daily life and improper diet will thread our life by presenting us various diseases, including kidney disease.

As one of the dominant internal organs, kidney plays an important role in keeping us healthy. However, without suitable diet, our kidneys will be burdened, which can cause chronic kidney problem. In our daily life, to avoid damaging our kidneys, mastering the following damages will be helpful.

1. Avoid persistent high-protein diet

Protein is the basic of our life and no protein, no life. For children, both their mental development and physical development are closely related with protein, because of which, they are especially enjoined to replenish enough more protein. Actually, too much protein will increase renal burden and for an individual, 60g to 70g protein is enough.

Also, to ingest enough protein, many people eat too much low-quality protein, leading to the condition that large amounts of metabolin are produced, which need to be excreted by kidneys. Actually, ingesting high quality protein is the key point for us to keep healthy. High quality protein contains essential amino-acid that can not be generated by our body, and to meet the demand of our body, we must ingest them through diet. Therefore, instead of protein, ingesting high quality protein is of primary importance for our health. High quality protein is mainly contained by lean meat, fish, egg white and milk and so on.

2. Keep being far away from salty foods

Some people like salty foods. Actually, foods with high taste are more beneficial to our kidneys. Salt is high in sodium and high intake of salt will induce high blood pressure which is one of the dominant cause for chronic kidney problem. Besides, too much salt burdens kidney and for kidney problem patients, it even worsen kidney damages. Therefore, to live healthily without damaging our kidneys, light diet is necessary.

3. Adequate drinking

Our kidney works as a filter to remove waste products and excess water in the body through urine. When one drinks less water, urine decreases as well and consequently, wastes in the blood can not be fully excreted. In addition, some people have habit of having a full bladder, which actually also is one of the potential causes for kidney problem.

Healthy kidneys ensure the removal of fluids and wastes from our bodies, so learning how to love our kidneys is very important.
