Through a 9-year food questionnaire survey, the researchers found that among 3003 participants, 185 (6%) suffered from chronic kidney disease in the eighth year. It was found that the incidence of chronic kidney disease was 6 1% higher in people who drank more sugar drinks than those who drank less sugar drinks.
Why excessive consumption of sugary drinks may lead to renal failure?
Experts say that it is because the metabolites of fructose and other substances in beverages will form competitive inhibition with uric acid. Generally speaking, in the process of excretion through the kidney, glucose metabolites reduce the excretion of uric acid and stay in the body, eventually leading to gout. Gouty nephropathy will appear after a long time, which will eventually lead to abnormal renal function indicators. If not treated in time, it will lead to chronic renal failure and uremia, which can be life-threatening in severe cases.
Let's talk about what sugary drinks are:
Sugary drinks refer to drinks with any form of sugar added, such as brown sugar, corn sugar, corn syrup, fructose, glucose and so on. Common sugary drinks are: soft drinks, various sugary sodas, fruit juice, energy drinks, milk tea and sugary coffee.
So what is excessive?
Adults' daily intake of added sugar should be controlled below 5% of total energy, that is to say, it is appropriate to consume about 25g of sugar every day.
There are many well-known beverage brands in China market. The following are three kinds of common drinks. Take 100ml as an example to analyze the sugar content: According to the data of Coca-Cola Company, every 100ml of cola contains 10.6g of sugar. This means that a bottle of Coca-Cola has exceeded the sugar intake of an adult in one day.
Sprite is a caffeine-free refreshing drink with less sugar content. Every 100 ml sprite contains 6.6 grams of sugar.
Red Bull is a popular high-sugar energy drink. Every 100 ml of red bull contains 1 1 g of sugar ... (Let's drink boiled water)
A friend said, I just like to drink. How can I drink sugary drinks to be healthy? Need to pay attention to the following points:
It is suggested to control the frequency of drinking, for example, from drinking 1 cup every day to drinking 1 cup every two or three days. Don't hoard sugary drinks at home, otherwise it is easy to bring bottles with you.
You can choose sugar-free or slightly sugary drinks, and give priority to small cups, below 250 ml. In addition, the simpler the taste of the beverage, the better, and less ingredients, such as pearls, coconuts, puddings, coffee jelly, jelly, taro, cocoa chips, chocolate and so on. Because these ingredients will also contain more sugar.
Choose less sour drinks flavored with fruit pulp or lactic acid. Common ones are: citron tea, Kumquat Lemon Tea, Grapefruit Green Tea and Plum Green Tea. Because these drinks are sour, a lot of sugar is usually added to cover up the taste.
If you drink fruit juice, drink freshly squeezed fruit juice, and don't drink concentrated fruit juice, which has a high sugar content.
Choose black coffee, such as American or cold extraction. Don't drink packaged coffee, or two in one, three in one. Generally speaking, this kind of coffee is sweetened.
Finally, the healthiest drink is boiled water. Because the human body is about 70% water, drinking boiled water can not only quench your thirst, but also help your metabolism.
I once read an article in Dietary Guidelines for China Residents (2022), which pointed out that adult males with low physical activity level should drink 65,438+700 ml per day and adult females should drink 65,438+500 ml per day. If you sweat too much, you should increase it appropriately. You can also pay attention to urine. If the color is light yellow, clear and sufficient, it means that the amount of drinking water is basically enough.
Drinking water is good, but there are also some specific groups who need to control the amount of drinking water, such as patients with gastric ulcer, patients with chronic kidney disease and patients with heart failure. In short, special people need to follow the doctor's advice.
