According to Dr. Artur Bogatyrev, a specialist in urology and andrology, in order for the kidneys to function well, you must drink a sufficient amount of water.
The specialist said in an interview with Gazeta.Ru: “This organ needs fluids because it performs a selective function and removes toxins from the body. The lack of fluids weakens blood flow to the kidneys, which leads to them completely stopping performing their function, and thus leading to kidney disease. But it must be “We know that excess fluids can also be harmful, so 8-10 glasses of water a day is the ideal amount for adults.”
The specialist points out the harmful effects of excessive salt consumption, because it forces the kidneys to work non-stop, and over time their ability to perform their function decreases, leading to fluid retention in the body. In addition, salt increases the percentage of protein in the urine, which negatively affects the kidneys.
Another bad habit, according to him, is excessive consumption of painkillers, which causes disruption of blood flow to the kidneys, which may lead to kidney failure and other diseases.
He points out that abstaining from going to the toilet for a long time with a full bladder leads, firstly, to the development of a pathological infection in the urinary system, and secondly, increases pressure on the kidneys. It also indicates that smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages cause great harm to the kidneys.
