The kidneys are very important for our body’s health. They are a vital place in the human body for urine formation and can effectively remove excess water and toxins from the body, while also regulating blood pressure.
However, in recent years, due to the high pressure of people’s lives and work, it is possible to inadvertently overburden one’s health, leading to kidney-related diseases over time. At this time, both blood pressure and the urinary system in the body may be greatly affected.
Especially for men, the kidneys are particularly important, and kidney disease is somewhat insidious. If not carefully observed, it can be hard to detect. However, the onset of any disease leaves traces, and as long as we are attentive enough, we can observe them.
In the morning, men urinate for the first time. If there are no signs of these three indicators, it indicates strong kidneys, which can be enviable.
The first sign: When we wake up in the morning and find foamy urine that doesn’t dissipate for a long time, it’s likely a warning signal from the kidneys.
Nowadays, with improved living conditions and most families having toilets installed, it’s easy to observe urine changes. If you notice small bubbles in your urine that persist and don’t dissipate for a long time, pay attention to the presence of protein in the urine.
Normally, even if there is foam in the excreted urine, it should slowly dissipate. If it persists for a long time, promptly go to the hospital for a kidney check-up.
The second sign: Feeling weak during urination in the morning or having a reduced urine volume may signal kidney function abnormalities.
Under normal circumstances, after over 10 hours of metabolism, the body’s water has been fully metabolized. Therefore, the urine output in the first urination of the morning is ample and the urination process feels favorable.
However, if you feel weak during morning urination and the urine volume is significantly reduced, it may indicate kidney damage, leading to water retention in the body. If accompanied by urine bifurcation, it could be an early sign of kidney disease, requiring immediate attention and a kidney function check-up.
The third sign: After a night of metabolism, the urine concentration is relatively high in the morning, resulting in yellow-colored urine. Drinking some water should dilute the urine. However, if the urine is dark tea-colored, it indicates the presence of blood, forming hematuria.
At this point, pay attention to whether the kidney’s permeability has changed, causing the red blood cells to appear. In such a situation, protect kidney health promptly and visit the hospital for a kidney function check-up.
If you don’t show these three signs, it could be enviable. When kidney problems arise, pay attention to your diet. Avoid foods that could worsen kidney function. This is essential for restoring kidney function and maintaining overall health.
Repeated emphasis: Men with poor kidney function should avoid these foods even if they like them.
Cauliflower: Although cauliflower tastes great, it has high potassium content. Excessive consumption can lead to elevated potassium levels in the body, burdening the kidneys and potentially causing kidney damage. Therefore, to prevent the kidneys from deteriorating, it’s advisable to consume less cauliflower. Additionally, star fruit and bananas should be eaten in moderation to reduce the burden on the kidneys and protect overall health.
Chicken: Chicken is a commonly consumed food, but it contains a high amount of phosphorus. To excrete these elements from the body, they must pass through the glomeruli of the kidneys, which can increase the kidneys’ workload and eventually affect their filtration function. Therefore, those who enjoy eating chicken should reduce their consumption to prevent deteriorating kidney function. Even if you like them, it’s essential to avoid them to protect your health. Also, animal livers and some dried fruits have high phosphorus content and should be consumed in moderation.
When kidney problems occur, it can disrupt the normal functioning of the body. Therefore, it’s crucial to timely adjust your dietary habits, engage in regular physical exercise, and increase water intake in daily life to ensure the proper functioning of the body and protect kidney health.
