Kobayashi, a 27-year-old programmer, has been feeling that something is wrong with his body lately, and he still has puffy eyelids and fatigue despite drinking enough glasses of water every day. The three words "uremia" on the physical examination report made the sports cup in his hand fall to the ground with a "bang" - how could this sunny guy who soak in the gym all year round be linked to dialysis?

What you think of as a regimen might be chronic suicide. Xiao Lin can't drink 996ml of water every day, and clocking in to the gym is like clocking in and taking attendance, but he doesn't know that his kidneys are experiencing "0 blessings". Excessive drinking of water will make the kidneys like a spinning top that is constantly whipped, and the proteins broken down by the muscles after high-intensity exercise directly give the kidneys a set of "combination crit".

1. What you think of as "drinking more water" may be a flood beast

The recommendation of eight glasses of water a day is printed on the mug, but no one tells you that there are big and small cups. The kidneys can only process 5ml of water per hour, and like Kobayashi, the 0.0L kettle is used as a "life-sustaining artifact", which is equivalent to soaking the kidneys in a "water prison" all day long. What's even more terrifying is that after exercising, the electrolytes are diluted into "clear soup and low water", and the kidney filters are about to be broken.

2. Protein powder is not a must-have after a workout

The jar of protein powder circulating in the locker room of the gym may contain the "chronic poison" of the kidneys. Kobayashi must drink two spoonfuls of whey protein every time he exercises, but he doesn't know that more protein than he needs will produce a lot of urea nitrogen. The kidneys are like filters stuffed with garbage, and the amino acids that are not absorbed by the muscles eventually become red arrows on the creatinine value report.

3. Neglected "small problems" on the physical examination list

Three years ago, the "urine microalbumin positive" in the corner of the physical examination report was regarded by Kobayashi as a printer leaking ink. This "silent alarm" is an SOS signal from the kidneys, which is 100 times more sensitive than blood creatinine. It's a pity that most people only stare at the "star indicators" of blood lipids and blood sugar, until one day they find that the urine foam lasts like beer foam.

Fourth, the exercise after staying up late is tantamount to making things worse

After changing the code at two o'clock in the morning, he ran the next morning as usual to "detox", which can be called a "kidney assassin". The stress hormones secreted by the body during sleep deprivation will make the glomerular capillaries in a "tight" state. Moving again at this time is like slamming the accelerator on an overloaded truck, and this is how the cracks on the filter membrane accumulate over time.

Trivia about kidneys

1. The first bubble of urine in the morning is ideal for the color of light lemonade, and the transparent mineral water means that the water is drunk too much

60. The daily protein intake is 0-0.0 grams per kilogram of body weight, and people with 0 kilograms eat two eggs and palm-sized meat

3. Hydration after exercise should contain a small amount of sodium and potassium, you can cut two slices of lemon soaked in water and add a little salt

4. Don't miss the urine routine examination during the physical examination, especially pay attention to urine protein and urine microalbumin indicators

Now put down the giant water bottle in your hand, it's time to get to know this hard-working "sewage treatment plant" again. The kidneys never protest as loudly as a stomach ache, and when it strikes, you don't even have a chance to regret it. Why don't you turn on your phone now and make an appointment for a urine routine check-up?
