Are people born after 1990 already suffering from kidney deficiency? These habits are destroying your kidneys!

In the public's perception, "kidney deficiency" seems to be a problem exclusive to middle-aged and elderly people. However, nowadays, more and more people born in the 1990s find themselves suffering from "kidney deficiency". Severe hair loss, mental depression, sore waist and knees... These symptoms that seem inconsistent with age are troubling many young people born in the 1990s. What exactly is the reason why the kidneys of the 1990s are in danger in advance? In fact, it is some seemingly ordinary living habits that are unknowingly damaging their kidney health.

Staying up late becomes the norm

For those born in the 1990s, staying up late has almost become a way of life. Whether they are addicted to mobile games, watching short videos, or busy working overtime and rushing to meet project deadlines, the night time always passes by unknowingly. However, staying up late is extremely harmful to the kidneys. Our bodies follow a certain biological clock, and the kidneys are no exception. During sleep at night, the metabolic activity of the kidneys will slow down relatively and enter a "repair" state, which helps maintain the normal function of kidney cells. But staying up late will disrupt this biological clock, causing the kidneys to continue to work and unable to get enough rest. Staying up late for a long time will increase the metabolic burden on kidney cells, just like a machine that has been running at high speed but has not been maintained, and is prone to malfunction. In addition, staying up late will affect the endocrine system, leading to hormone imbalance, further increasing the burden on the kidneys.

Overwork

The post-90s generation is in the rising period of their careers and faces tremendous work pressure. In order to pursue better career development, they often work overtime and overwork. Long-term high-intensity work not only consumes a lot of physical strength and energy, but also causes damage to the kidneys. When the body is overworked, a large amount of metabolic waste will be produced, which needs to be excreted through the kidneys. If the kidneys are in an overloaded working state for a long time, it will cause renal damage. Moreover, overwork will also reduce the body's immunity, making it vulnerable to invasion by pathogens such as bacteria and viruses, and causing kidney infectious diseases such as pyelonephritis.

Bad eating habits

In terms of diet, the choices of the post-90s generation are varied. Take-out and fast food have become their main sources of food. These foods are often high in oil, salt, calories, and lack nutrition. A high-salt diet will lead to an increase in sodium ions in the body, which will increase the excretion burden on the kidneys. In the long run, it may also cause high blood pressure and further damage kidney function. In addition, excessive intake of high-protein foods, such as meat and seafood, will also increase the burden on the kidneys to metabolize protein. At the same time, the post-90s generation is also keen on drinking various beverages, such as milk tea, cola, coffee, etc. These beverages contain a lot of sugar and additives, which will not only affect blood sugar and blood lipid levels, but also have adverse effects on the kidneys. In contrast, not drinking enough water is also a common problem. Too little water intake will lead to concentrated urine, and harmful substances will accumulate in the kidneys, increasing the risk of diseases such as kidney stones.

Lack of exercise

As the pace of life accelerates, people born in the 1990s are increasingly lacking in exercise. They sit at their desks for long periods of time and rely on public transportation to get to and from work, leaving them with little time for physical exercise. Lack of exercise not only leads to obesity, but also affects blood circulation and metabolism. The normal function of the kidneys requires good blood circulation to maintain. Lack of exercise causes insufficient blood perfusion in the kidneys, affecting the normal metabolism and excretion function of the kidneys. Moreover, obesity is a risk factor for many chronic diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension, which can further damage kidney health.

Substance abuse

In daily life, some people born in the 1990s buy medicines on their own without the guidance of doctors when they feel unwell. In particular, the abuse of some antibiotics and painkillers may cause damage to the kidneys. For example, some antibiotics can cause drug-induced kidney damage, leading to diseases such as renal tubular necrosis and interstitial nephritis; and long-term use of large amounts of painkillers, such as ibuprofen, can also increase the burden on the kidneys and even cause renal failure.

The emergence of kidney problems such as "kidney deficiency" among the post-90s generation is not accidental, but the result of long-term accumulation of bad living habits. To protect their kidneys, the post-90s generation needs to develop good living habits from now on. Keep a regular schedule and avoid staying up late; eat a reasonable diet, reduce the intake of high-fat, high-salt, and high-calorie foods, and increase water intake; exercise moderately to stay healthy; when taking medication, be sure to follow the doctor's advice and avoid drug abuse. Only in this way can the kidneys stay healthy, stay away from the troubles of diseases, and enjoy a good life.
