Traditional Chinese medicine says: “The kidneys are the foundation of innate constitution.” The kidneys, as important detoxifying and metabolic organs in the body, are mainly responsible for promoting the elimination of toxins and waste in the body, maintaining the balance of the internal environment, and are crucial to human health.
However, in recent years, there has been an increasing number of men suffering from kidney diseases, mainly related to their daily diet and lifestyle habits.
Moreover, kidney diseases are often neglected. Due to concerns about losing face, many men with kidney issues are reluctant to seek medical examination, leading to the worsening of the condition over time, which can adversely affect their health.
Therefore, it is essential to pay attention to kidney maintenance in daily life. When kidney function declines, the body may show some abnormal signs, so it is important to observe carefully.
Kidney diseases develop silently? If male individuals notice these 3 signs in their morning urine, it’s crucial to check kidney function right away
Excessive or insufficient urine volume: Many people have the habit of urinating in the morning because after a whole night of metabolism, the body may retain excess toxins and metabolic waste. Urinating in the morning helps accelerate the elimination of toxins, benefiting the body.
When urinating, you can observe the volume. Normally, the urine volume per urination is around 200-400 milliliters. However, if you notice that your urine volume is relatively excessive or insufficient, you should pay special attention as it may be a warning sign from your kidneys. Promptly seek medical evaluation of kidney function to prevent adverse effects on the body.
Abnormal urine color: In the morning, observe the color of your urine. Normally, urine should be colorless and transparent. If you notice that your urine color is darker than usual, accompanied by a foul odor, it’s a sign that your kidneys may be compromised. Immediate medical evaluation of kidney function is necessary to prevent adverse effects on the body. Conversely, if you don’t notice these signs, it indicates reasonably healthy kidney function.
Foamy urine that persists: Some men may observe foamy urine when urinating in the morning. If you notice a significant amount of foam in the urine that persists, it’s essential to be cautious. This situation is likely caused by kidney damage leading to abnormal filtration, resulting in excessive protein in the urine. In this case, timely medical examination and treatment are critical to prevent kidney function impairment and its impact on overall health.
Caring for the kidneys is vital for health. Remember the principle of “Eat 1, Drink 1” for kidney maintenance, guiding your kidneys towards better health
【Eat 1】Chinese yam: Chinese yam is a common vegetable with high nutritional value containing abundant vitamins and various trace elements. Regular consumption of Chinese yam not only aids in spleen and stomach health but also benefits kidney tonification. For those seeking kidney health maintenance, consistent intake of Chinese yam can enhance kidney function, nurturing and protecting the kidneys towards improved health.
【Drink 1】Goji berry tea: There’s a saying, “In middle age, keep goji berries in your thermos.” Goji berries are excellent for health, and drinking goji berry tea consistently can benefit liver health and vision, and promote kidney health. It assists in eliminating toxins and waste in the body, reducing the burden on the kidneys, contributing to renal health protection and guiding the kidneys towards better function.
That’s all for today’s sharing. Remember to dress warmly in cold weather, exercise regularly, withstand the cold, and stay healthy and carefree. See you next time.
