What Makes Kidney Weak: To keep the kidneys healthy, it is very important to pay attention to morning habits. Small changes like drinking water in the morning, not stopping urination, eating breakfast and avoiding painkillers can keep your kidneys safe in the long run.
Kidneys are a very important part of the body. They work to filter the blood, remove excess fluid from the body and remove toxic elements. But with time, if there is too much pressure on the kidneys, their efficiency starts decreasing.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) generally occurs due to reasons like diabetes, obesity and alcoholism, but do you know that some bad morning habits can also harm the kidneys? Here you can know about 5 such habits-
hold urine in the morning
Our bladder gets filled during sleep and as soon as we wake up in the morning, we feel the urge to urinate. If someone stops it for a long time then the pressure on both the kidneys and bladder increases. Doing this continuously can weaken the bladder muscles, increase the risk of infection and cause damage to kidney tissue.
not drinking water in the morning
Not drinking water overnight causes mild dehydration in the body. In such a situation, water is needed most in the morning. But many people leave water and drink tea or coffee, the caffeine present in which further reduces water in the body. This may increase pressure on the kidneys.
taking painkillers on an empty stomach
Many people take medicines like ibuprofen, aspirin for headache or body pain in the morning. If these medicines are taken excessively, especially on an empty stomach, they can cause swelling and damage to the kidneys. NSAIDs reduce blood flow to the kidneys, so they should be taken thoughtfully and only after consulting a doctor.
not drinking water after workout
Morning exercise is good for health, but due to sweating, there is a deficiency of water and electrolytes in the body. In such a situation, if enough water is not drunk after exercise, then the body gets dehydrated, blood flow to the kidneys reduces and there is unnecessary stress on the kidneys.
skipping breakfast
Some people do not eat breakfast to lose weight or in a hurry. Due to this, they eat more salty snacks during the day, which increases sodium in the body, which is harmful for the kidneys. Not having breakfast leads to unbalanced blood sugar, increased acid in the body, and extra workload on the kidneys.
