When you are bored and want to go to sleep, will you habitually throw a betel nut into your mouth? Taipei City United Hospital nephrologist Dr. Liu Wensheng said, betel nut has a refreshing effect, containing alkali and calcium, long-term and a large number of eating in addition to causing oral lesions, will also cause damage to the kidneys, if the water and drink less, it is easy to cause kidney stones. Betel nut is a mixture of plant fibers, alkali powder, pigment, lime ingredients, of which lime contains calcium and alkali, so betel nut eaten in large quantities, calcium intake will also be more, easy to increase the likelihood of kidney stones. Because betel nut itself has a *** stimulating effect, so there are often truck drivers and other groups of people eat betel nut to help boost their spirits. Liu Wensheng pointed out that often eat betel nut truck drivers need to rely on betel nut to boost their spirits, but they are more inconvenient toilet, so the water is less to drink; when the water to drink less, the concentration of urine will rise, and at the same time too much calcium intake, the likelihood of stones on the high side, and in order to return to the balance of the body's kidneys, you need to spend more energy to the excess stuff out, plus truck drivers are in a relatively dehydrated state! The more energy it takes to expel it, the more burden it puts on the kidneys. In addition to the damage caused to the kidneys, betel nut's plant fibers are also very strong *** for the mouth. Liu Wensheng said, the mouth is the first line of contact with betel nut parts, lime in the alkali and strong fiber, will cause cancer of the oral epidermis, but also change the acidity and alkalinity of the blood, the kidneys in the case of dehydration will be too much alkali discharged out is already not easy, and if at the same time too much calcium intake, it is easy to form kidney stones. Liu Wensheng said that although betel nut can cause kidney burden, but it is not the biggest cause of kidney failure. Currently, the most common cause of kidney failure in Taiwan is still diabetes and high blood pressure, it is recommended that specific groups of people quit betel nut, and control the three highs, drink more water, in order to minimize the occurrence of kidney disease.
