“In addition to a healthy life style, what you eat also plays an important role in terms of protecting your kidneys,” he said.
Feng encouraged people, especially those with high blood pressure, to drink as much water as possible. He also said that healthy kidneys help adjust normal blood pressure as well.
“Drinking enough water will help your kidneys function better and helps your kidneys get rid of as much waste as possible,” he said.
Veterans General Hospital’s Renal Department director Yang Wu-chang (楊五常) said that kidney problems could be easily “observed” in daily urine.
“If there are lots of bubbles in your urine and they never go away, I suggest you see a doctor,” Yang said.
Yang said that the bubbles come from protein that the body absorbs from food. If there are too many bubbles, it will eventually become albuminuria and they will show that there is something wrong with the kidneys.
