With the rapid development of our country’s economy, people’s quality of life and dietary habits have also changed.
High-calorie, high-fat, high-purine and other foods are occupying an increasingly high proportion in daily diet, and excessive consumption of these foods can become a major cause of high uric acid levels.
High uric acid disease is a joint disease caused by slow and imbalanced uric acid metabolism, leading to the deposition of crystals in the kidneys or joints. It also has many complications, making it difficult to treat, with characteristics of prolonged and painful episodes.
Real case: 30-year-old Xiaochen has been working in a corporate office since graduation, often working overtime for better performance.
Due to Xiaochen frequently working late nights, Xiaochen’s health is not optimal.
Recently, Xiaochen started experiencing back pain and fatigue shortly after sitting at work, initially dismissing it as a normal consequence of prolonged sitting.
A few days ago, Xiaochen noticed persistent back pain that hindered focus at work, prompting a visit to the nearest hospital for examination.
The doctor conducted a comprehensive examination, revealing that Xiaochen’s uric acid levels were severely elevated, with early signs of kidney failure.
Upon hearing the results, Xiaochen was shocked and asked the doctor for specifics.
Upon understanding Xiaochen’s lifestyle habits, the doctor mentioned: Having a bowl of sheep offal soup is equivalent to ingesting 10 kilograms of garbage bags.
Multiple academicians jointly urge: Avoid consuming “1st Breakfast,” having a portion is like ingesting 10 kilograms of garbage bags.
Apparently, Xiaochen’s body was originally weak, aggravated by frequent late-night work, leading Xiaochen to consume a bowl of sheep offal soup every night for body nourishment.
Unbeknownst to Xiaochen, this was a major trigger for kidney disease episodes, as animal offal contains a substantial amount of impurities that, through high-temperature processing, release purines into the soup, making them easily absorbed by the body. Additionally, Xiaochen’s body has weaker functions for purine breakdown and excretion, resulting in the accumulation of purine substances in the body over time, potentially leading to gout, kidney failure, and other diseases.
Furthermore, animal offal serves as the primary organ for animals to break down and excrete toxins. These harmful substances are not easily removed through regular washing, indicating the potential amount of toxic substances consumed.
Doctors remind: Kidney organ damage will show “3 abnormalities,” pay attention promptly
1. Difficulty in excretion
When daily water consumption leads to urine output below 400 milliliters, it indicates low urine volume, suggesting severe kidney function damage.
When the urinary system fails to produce urine normally, it results in decreasing urine output, with a healthy urination frequency averaging 4-6 times a day, with urine volume generally between 1,500-2,000 milliliters.
2. Frequent nighttime urination
Abnormal kidney function triggers constant toxin stimulation to the urinary system, disrupting urination function and causing frequent urination.
Generally, urination exceeding 3-5 times a day is deemed frequent urination, indicating abnormal kidney detoxification function. Immediate examination is suggested.
3. Proteinuria
Healthy urine is pale yellow, clear, sometimes with minor foam. However, kidney abnormalities can increase foam formation in urine.
When uric acid exceeds standard levels, kidney detoxification function falters, hindering the elimination of protein through the renal tubules, leading to proteinuria.
Regularly maintain good habits to prevent gout, improving kidney health by reducing uric acid substances
Develop healthy habits daily, improving health by staying hydrated and promoting urination
Ensuring adequate daily hydration promotes blood circulation, accelerates metabolism, and facilitates the efficient elimination of excess uric acid and toxins from the body.
Urinating is one of the body’s primary methods for rapid toxin and uric acid removal.
