Smoking and alcohol consumption.
About 10% of nicotine absorbed by the lungs enters the blood unchanged, is transferred to the kidneys and excreted in the urine. Such substances have a destructive effect on the most important structure of the kidney – the basement membrane. As a result, its permeability is impaired, and renal failure develops over time.
Drinking alcohol.
Drinking alcohol creates a huge burden on the excretory system and makes it work in an intensive mode. As a result, the body becomes dehydrated; the blood becomes thicker. Therefore, after drinking alcohol, many people experience persistent low back pain. If such episodes recur regularly, kidney damage is inevitable.
Insomnia.
During sleep, cells and tissues in the body are restored, including kidney tissue. Chronic insomnia leads to the fact that this process is not active enough. People who sleep less than necessary often suffer from hypertension and kidney problems. Thus, chronic insomnia provokes the gradual development of renal failure.
Excessive caffeine consumption.
Excess caffeine in the body causes dehydration and increased blood viscosity, which adversely affects kidney function. It is important to remember that caffeine is not just about coffee. Tea also contains a lot of this substance. Many soft drinks as well as chocolate are high in caffeine.
Lack of vitamin B6.
The highest amounts of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) are found in meat, eggs, offal, milk, cabbage, sea fish (tuna, cod), garlic, melons and wheat bran. Its deficiency in the body leads to the development of many serious pathologies, including kidney stones.
Sedentary lifestyle.
Sedentary work and lack of physical activity have a bad effect on all organs and systems of the body. These factors contribute to the development of edema, reduce blood flow and complicate the excretory system. When blood flow slows down, the kidneys cannot completely clear the blood. The blood flow is gradually oversaturated with harmful substances, which, in turn, forces the kidney filters to work with increased stress. As a result, the condition of the kidneys deteriorates prematurely.
Untimely emptying of the bladder.
In the modern rhythm of life, a person often does not immediately respond to signals sent by the bladder. Meanwhile, regular delays in its emptying are fraught with the development of renal failure.
Addiction to salty foods.
Table salt is necessary for normal metabolism, but its intake should not exceed 5 grams per day. Excess salt in the diet causes fluid retention in the body and inhibits kidney function. You need to eat as little salt as possible.
Inadequate diets.
To have a perfect figure, women often follow strict diets. This can result in chronic disease of the excretory system. Low calorie diets force the body to use its internal fat reserves for energy. With excessive weight loss, the kidneys lose their natural defenses.
Not enough water.
Some people believe that by reducing water consumption, they can avoid edema. In fact, drinking less than 1.5 liters of fluid a day is very risky. This regimen has a negative effect on blood composition and kidney health.
