Data research shows that healthy people can protect their kidneys by drinking more water, while people with abnormal renal function will bring a burden to their kidneys. Incorrect drinking methods are more likely to damage their kidneys.

Generally speaking, our human body needs water renewal every day, and the daily drinking amount is between 1500 ml and 2000 ml, which can not only ensure the normal operation of the body, but also maintain the normal metabolism of the kidneys. As long as the amount of drinking water does not exceed 3000 ml per day, there is almost no damage to the kidneys, and the most is to do more work. Even a little more, as long as the function of the kidney is normal, there is generally no big problem, and the possibility of kidney damage is not great.

In fact, the working ability of the kidney is underestimated by most people. There are 654.38+00,000 ~ 2 million nephron icons in two kidneys of human body, of which only 25%~30% can meet the metabolic needs of human body. Therefore, when drinking more water, the human body will open more nephrons to work, and will not burden the kidneys.

Excess water will be discharged with the urine, which will dilute the urine and prevent the metabolic waste in the urine from precipitating crystals, and the formed crystals will be dissolved, which can prevent the formation of stones. Increased urine will cause a "flushing" effect on the urinary system, reduce the probability of pathogenic bacteria entering the urethra and prevent urinary tract infection.

Some wrong ways of drinking water may have adverse effects on the kidneys:

1, drink water when you are thirsty. Many people are used to drinking water when they are thirsty, but when people are thirsty, their bodies have actually started to lack water. The brain will think that the human body has entered a "water shortage state", and the secretion of antidiuretic hormone in hypothalamus increases, which enhances the reabsorption ability of renal tubules and further concentrates urine, which may cause damage to kidneys.

2, often drink strong tea and vegetable soup. In kidney calculi, 80% is calcium oxalate, which is a stone formed by the combination of oxalic acid and calcium in urine. Green vegetables and tea contain oxalic acid, which is easily soluble in water. Therefore, if you often drink strong tea and vegetable soup, it will lead to excessive intake of oxalic acid, and there is a risk of inducing kidney calculi.

3. Drink drinks instead of water: Many drinks add a lot of sugar for taste. Excessive sugar intake will cause obesity, atherosclerosis, renal artery stenosis and kidney damage.
