Eating Tofu Causes Renal Function Decline

Tofu has a higher protein content than soybeans, but Japanese scientists point out that eating too much tofu can cause kidney function to decline.

Under normal circumstances, the plant protein that people eat into the body undergoes metabolic changes, and most of them become nitrogenous wastes and are excreted by the kidneys. However, if you consume large amounts of tofu, excessive intake of plant protein will inevitably increase the amount of nitrogen-containing waste generated in the body, increase the burden on the kidneys, and further weaken the kidney function, which is detrimental to your health.

Tofu not only contains eight kinds of essential amino acids, but also its proportion is close to the human body and the nutritional potency is higher. Therefore, eating tofu in moderation is beneficial to health.

What other bad habits can hurt the kidneys?

Eating meat to lose kidney function

Many people use the method of eating meat to lose weight, experts believe that this method is not desirable. High protein intake, such as meat, can have a number of adverse effects on human health. For example, long-term high-protein intake increases the burden on the kidneys, even leaving the kidneys in an “overloaded” state for a long time, and may therefore accelerate its aging and damage; also, excessive intake of protein may promote calcium from the bone. Dissolve and increase calcium loss. Studies have shown that for every 1 gram of protein intake, 1.75 milligrams of calcium is lost from the urine. Over time, it will increase the risk of osteoporosis, which is even worse for obese people.

Abuse of painkillers impairs kidney function

Experts suggest that painkillers are double-edged swords. Reasonable use can relieve pain; however, long-term use, especially abuse, can cause serious damage to human health.

Currently, drug-induced renal insufficiency accounts for 37% of pain medications and can occur more than 3 months after taking the drug. Among them, kidney damage caused by indomethacin accounts for the majority. Experts recommend that you should not use drugs and increase the dose, or arbitrarily extend the medication time without your doctor's guidance. Repeated use of the same painkiller for a long period of time will lead to drug resistance and should be replaced with other analgesics in a timely manner. (Zhang Huanian)
