Taiwanese doctors warn of 10 behaviors that harm the kidneys. Read and say “Oops!” Thai people are all correct. They do it until it becomes a habit.
Taiwanese doctors warn of 10 behaviors that harm your kidneys without you knowing. Read and say “Oops!” All of them are true. Many Thais do them every day.
According to the latest statistics, the number of people with chronic kidney disease in Taiwan has exceeded 2 million. Dr. Hong Yong-hsiang pointed out that in addition to factors such as diabetes and high blood pressure that cause kidney deterioration more quickly, another part of the cause is related to “behaviors that harm the kidneys without realizing it”. He also summarized “10 Daily Behaviors of Taiwanese People That Harm the Kidneys” and urged them to change these behaviors as soon as possible. Otherwise it may increase the risk of future dialysis.
Dr. Hong said that the human body normally has about 2 million glomerulus, and every time these units die, they cannot be restored. He explained that kidney function peaks during adolescence, then gradually declines as people age. As people age, they should take care of their kidneys to function adequately and stay healthy until the end of their lives, like “saving use.”
10 Daily Habits of Taiwanese People That Harm Their Kidneys, as summarized by Dr. Hong:
- Drinking too little water
- Eat foods high in fat, salt and sugar.
- Smoking and exposure to PM2.5 air pollution
- High stress and late night sleep
- Use of painkillers, antibiotics, and over-the-counter medications more than necessary
- Consume beverages, snacks and processed foods.
- Urine retention
- Sitting for long periods without moving
- Using dietary supplements and health products incorrectly
- Using inappropriate food and beverage containers
Dr Hong also said that using plastic bags to pack food. Such as noodles and soups in restaurants, which is common in Taiwan, is harmful to the kidneys. In addition, sitting for a long time without moving has serious negative effects on the metabolism and blood circulation. One study found that if you sit for more than 6 hours, every additional hour will have the same negative effects on the โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที body as smoking 2 cigarettes.
To make matters worse, sitting for long periods and not exercising, another study found that these two behaviors have a synergistic effect and may be associated with diabetes, high blood pressure, and six types of cancer: breast cancer, prostate cancer, endometrial cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer, and ovarian cancer, which also increases the mortality rate.
Dr. Hong also warned that bubble tea drinks are more harmful to the body than canned drinks because they contain more sugar and fructose. One glass of bubble tea contains more than 700 calories. If you drink it more than 3 times a week, your kidney function will deteriorate faster over time.
Kidney patients in Thailand
On September 14, 2024, Dr. Atthaporn Limpanyalert, Deputy Secretary-General of the National Health Security Office (NHSO ). Said about the situation of kidney disease patients in Thailand that currently. Thais are the 5th most ill with kidney disease in the world, with approximately 11.6 million patients. It was also found that the age of patients with the disease tends to decrease from the elderly group to middle-aged people. This is because the current lifestyle includes consuming spicy food, ready-to-eat food or boxed food without knowing what chemicals the seller has put in it, causing the kidneys to start deteriorating without realizing it. Therefore, we must help prevent this by reducing consumption behaviors that put the risk of kidney deterioration.
End-stage renal disease can be said to be a bankrupt disease because it requires continuous kidney replacement therapy until a kidney transplant is required. Such as hemodialysis. In the past, the cost of dialysis was 4,000-5,000 baht per session, and 10-15 sessions were required per month. Therefore, no matter how much money a patient has, it will all be spent.
