In recent years, the number of patients with kidney stones has shown a trend of increasing year by year, which poses a serious threat to people's health. In order to protect the health of the kidneys, doctors emphasize three Xi that we must not touch. Only by avoiding these Xi can our kidneys thank us and maintain good function.
First of all, we need to stay away from high-salt diets. A high-salt diet is one of the main causes of kidney stone formation. Excess salt increases the amount of sodium ions in the urine, which increases the concentration of calcium ions in the urine, which promotes the formation of stones. In addition, a high-salt diet can also lead to water retention in the body, increasing the burden on the kidneys and further exacerbating the formation of stones. Therefore, we should minimize salt intake, choose fresh ingredients, and avoid excessive consumption of processed and savory foods.
Secondly, we need to maintain adequate water intake. Water is the "cleanser" of the kidneys, it is able to dilute harmful substances in the urine and reduce the formation of stones. If we don't get enough water, the concentration in the urine will increase, and harmful substances will be more likely to crystallize and form stones. Therefore, we should drink enough water every day to keep the urine diluted and reduce the risk of stones. In addition, drinking plenty of water can also promote the excretion of urine, help the kidneys eliminate waste and toxins, and maintain the health of the kidneys.
Finally, we need to avoid holding urine for long periods of time. Holding urine can cause urine to remain in the bladder for too long, making it easier for harmful substances in the urine to crystallize and form stones. In addition, holding urine for a long time can also increase the pressure on the bladder and urethra, causing unnecessary burden on the kidneys. Therefore, we should develop the Xi of regular urination, avoid holding urine, and maintain the normal discharge of urine.
In conclusion, kidney stones are a common disease that causes a lot of suffering to patients. In order to protect the health of the kidneys, we should stay away from a high-salt diet, maintain adequate water intake, and avoid holding urine for a long time. Only by doing these three things can our kidneys thank us and maintain good function. In addition, we should also have regular physical examinations to detect and ** kidney stones in time to avoid further deterioration of the disease. Let's focus on kidney health and stay away from kidney stones.
