Kidney health is not always taken into consideration. However, some adjustments and changes in habits are essential to reduce the chances of your most frequent illnesses.
Best of all: These changes, suggested by the World Challenge site, are easy to adapt and incorporate as part of a healthier lifestyle.
1. Replace the salt
According to a 2018 survey in the Journal of Clinical Hypertension, excess salt promotes disease in these organs.
The daily limit: According to data from the US Department of Agriculture, one teaspoon per day. However, the reality is that this amount is often vastly exceeded. Processed food, one of the culprits of this excess.
2. Limit the consumption of painkillers
The New England Journal of Medicine study explains that it is estimated that the indiscriminate use of pain relievers, such as Tylenol, produces 5,000 cases of kidney failure each year in the United States.
3. Hold in urination
Dr. Cheamandeep Bali of the Toronto Naturophatic Health Clinic explained to the Huffington Post that the longer urine stays in the body, the more bacteria it generates.
4. Limit ultra-processed
They contain large doses of sodium, potassium and phosphorus. This combination can lead to weakened kidneys. The recommendation: consume them in a distanced way and which are not part of the daily dishes.
5. Avoid sodas
The regular options have the sugar equivalent of three donuts. Add to this that all versions of cola contain phosphoric acid, which damages the kidneys in the long run.
