Why are people prone to kidney deficiency? These reasons may be the culprit!

In life, people seem to often talk about "bad kidneys".

Back pain, leg pain, hair loss, frequent urination at night... When these symptoms appear in the body, everyone can't help but suspect that it may be a manifestation of kidney deficiency.

In fact, the kidney is an "introverted and forbearable" organ. It works tirelessly every day, but when it is tired or injured, it is used to forbearance and will not "lose temper" easily.

However, when it really can no longer persist and is exhausted, people are often caught off guard—kidney deficiency also appears.

So, what are the causes of kidney deficiency? In daily life, what behaviors will make the kidney more and more "injured"? How can we prevent it? Today, Shen Dabao will explain it to everyone once and for all!

3 major causes of kidney deficiency

The kidney is the innate foundation and the root of the five internal organs. Kidney essence and kidney qi are the cornerstones of our body's normal operation and sharp thinking. "Kidney deficiency" is a manifestation of excessive consumption of the body, which is generally caused by the following three reasons:

01Congenital kidney deficiency

That is, hereditary kidney deficiency, which may be inherited from the parents, may cause problems such as slow development and low IQ.

02 Physiological kidney deficiency

With the growth of age, physical fitness will begin to decline slowly, and the degree of kidney deficiency will also change with age. This is a natural phenomenon of kidney deficiency.

03 acquired kidney deficiency

It is generally divided into 3 types, one is acquired lack of nutrition, lack of attention to maintenance the day after tomorrow, resulting in kidney deficiency; the other is unhealthy lifestyle, such as staying up late for a long time, excessive fatigue, stress, anxiety, etc., may lead to kidney deficiency; It is because the environment causes damage to kidney function, causing kidney deficiency.

5 Kidney-damaging Behaviors Don’t Commit

01 Stay up all night for a long time!

Staying up late for a long time will make the viscera unable to sleep and repair normally, which will not only damage the liver but also the kidneys! It is best not to fall asleep later than 11 o'clock, can you do it?

02 used to hold back urine

The kidney is the largest urinary system in the body. Holding back urine for a long time will cause a large number of bacteria to grow in the urine in the bladder, and the bacteria will then retrograde to the kidney through the ureter, easily causing urinary tract infection and pyelonephritis.

03 Mistake hydration!

Drinking water only when thirsty, drinking beverages as water, and drinking strong tea... These wrong drinking habits may increase the burden on the kidneys in the long run.

04 alcoholic

Big data shows that people who drink at least 7 glasses of alcohol per week have a 30% increased probability of elevated blood creatinine, which is a strong signal of renal damage. Long-term heavy drinking will increase uric acid, block the renal tubules, and cause damage to the kidneys.

05 Overworked

High-intensity work, excessive sex life, and strenuous exercise can easily lead to physical fatigue, which can lead to symptoms of kidney deficiency.

5 good habits to effectively protect the kidney

Traditional Chinese medicine "nourishing the kidney" is extensive and profound, and the main idea is: the five elements govern water, corresponding to black, govern essence storage, govern bone production of marrow, and govern reproduction.

1. Drink water in moderation

Either drinking beverages, not drinking strong tea and coffee, or plain water to dilute the urine and prevent kidney diseases such as stones.

2. Get enough sleep

When a person is in deep sleep, the body can repair many injuries and improve immunity. Traditional Chinese medicine talks about nourishing qi, nourishing essence, regulating the mind, and preventing aging. Avoid staying up late for a long time (not sleeping after 23 o'clock), excessive fatigue, and lack of sleep. Go to bed early and get up early, and don't indulge in sexual desires, so as to benefit the maintenance of kidney essence.

3. Eat a balanced diet

Don’t always eat big fish and meat, and be “simple” appropriately. In fact, it will be better for your body. Avoid overeating. In addition, you can also eat more “black food” such as: black beans, black rice, black sesame, etc.

4. Keep the stool smooth

Constipated people stop stagnation of stools and turbid air attacks upwards, which will damage the kidneys, and smooth stools are also ways to nourish the kidneys, such as massaging the abdomen, eating more vegetables and fruits, and drinking plenty of water, all of which can maintain smooth stools and protect the kidneys.

5. Keep warm and massage frequently

The kidney meridian starts from the soles of the feet, and the cold starts from the feet. Keep your feet and waist warm, and pay attention to your lower limbs and waist to avoid cold, especially don’t walk barefoot in humid places for a long time, and don’t put your feet and waist directly against the air conditioner or electric fan blow. Washing feet with warm water before going to bed, massaging the soles of the feet, and massaging the waist can have the effect of nourishing the kidney and strengthening essence.
