News Topical, Digital Desk : Kidneys act as a filter for our body, cleaning the blood and removing toxins and excess water. However, many of us consume drinks daily that taste delicious but slowly harm our kidneys, often without any obvious warning. Therefore, it is important to identify and be cautious about these drinks that are silently harming our kidney health. Let's learn about them.
Kidney-damaging drinks
Cold drinks and soda
These are rich in phosphoric acid, sugar and caffeine, which increase the chances of kidney stones and kidney failure.
Diet soda or zero sugar drinks
These contain artificial sweeteners like aspartame, which can slow down kidney function if consumed over a long period of time.
Energy Drinks
These drinks, high in caffeine and stimulants, increase blood pressure and put pressure on the kidneys.
Packaged fruit juice
Instead of natural juices, these drinks are often full of preservatives, sugar and colors that overload the kidneys.
Flavored milk and shakes
The sugar and artificial flavors present in them can affect kidney function.
excessive coffee consumption
Too much caffeine dehydrates the body by increasing urine output, which affects the kidneys.
excessive alcohol
Alcohol weakens the kidneys' filtering capacity and can disrupt electrolyte balance.
body building drinks
High protein supplements or drinks, if taken in excess, can overload the kidneys.
Signs of kidney damage
- Frequent urination or foamy urine
- Swelling of the face, ankles, and feet
- Loss of appetite, vomiting, or nausea
- Constant feeling of fatigue
- Bad taste in the mouth (metallic taste)
- high blood pressure
- Trouble concentrating
Many of the drinks we consume mindlessly every day can become slow poisons for our kidneys. If you want to keep your kidneys healthy long-term, opt for natural and hydrating options like coconut water, lemon water, and herbal tea.
