Hello everyone, everything good? Have you ever heard of kidney failure? It occurs when the kidneys can no longer perform basic functions.
What can cause weak kidneys? There are many factors that can trigger this type of disease, such as diabetes, medication use, hypertension, poor diet, today in this video you will find out which five foods are most harmful to our kidneys. So stay with me until the end of the video and run the vignette!
doctor Roberto Yano, Cardiologist. Hello heart friends! All good?
I am Doctor Roberto Yano, Cardiologist, Pacemaker Specialist. Today we're going to talk about which foods spoil our kidneys the most. Kidneys are vital organs and they have several functions.
The main function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. It removes all toxic residues present in the blood, such as urea, creatinine, uric acid, they are also responsible for the balance of water in our body, eliminating water, mineral salts, excess electrolytes. The kidneys also produce some hormones such as vitamin D, which helps in the absorption of calcium, to strengthen our bones, and erythropoietin, which acts in the formation of our red blood cells.
Another very important hormone is renin, it participates in the regulation of our blood pressure. Do you understand then why you need to take good care of your kidneys? So let's talk about the 5 foods that damage your kidneys the most.
First food: processed meats. You already know that when I talk about food that is not good, I always include processed meats. Why that?
Because they contain a lot of sodium, high nitrate content. Nitrate is often used in this type of meat to prevent the growth of bacteria, to prevent these fatty foods from spoiling. I have already said several times that mortadella, ham, turkey breast, and all other sausages need to be avoided because they are foods associated with cancer, and several other types of diseases.
And of course, it ruins your kidneys too. From time to time you can eat bread with mortadella, but prefer to eat healthy foods in your daily life, fresh foods like roast chicken, roast fish, meats with low sodium content. But come on, second food.
. . But first, are you already subscribed to the channel?

Free information, health information. Besides, of course, sharing the video. Then at the end, if you like the video, you share it with your Telegram or Instagram friends.
OK? But come on, second food, soda. Soda is empty calories, it means you're just adding calories to your diet, but with no benefit to your health.
Even worse, you are consuming something that has a lot of sugar and will end up making you gain weight. It will make you overweight, it will make you obese. Those who drink a lot of soda, for example, have more osteoporosis, more kidney disease, more metabolic syndrome.
Anvisa has determined that soft drinks in Brazil have less sodium. So sodium wouldn't be such a problem for the kidneys. In fact, the consumption of soft drinks with phosphates, has an association with the formation of kidney stones.
This happens because phosphate causes mobilization of calcium, mobilization of magnesium from the bones into the blood. When they are in the urine, this excess calcium will contribute to the formation of stones. So, avoid drinking soda every day.
Leave it to drink when you are at a party or at a get-together. Even so, at parties, prefer to have a natural juice or water. Did you know that Yano Clinic is here in Indaiatuba?
We moved from Minas Gerais about a year ago and we are here in Indaiatuba. So you from Campinas, São Paulo, here from Indaiatuba, Salto, can consult me in person here in Indaiatuba. But come on, third food: sugar.
So this is one of the worst villains. I always say, balance is everything. So eating a piece of cake at a party isn't going to ruin your kidneys.
The problem is that there are people who eat sweets every day. Eat chocolate, eat dreams at the bakery, eat cake, eat candy and so on. Once I asked a little lady who came to my office.
Do you eat candy, do you eat cake? She said no, "no, doctor, I don't eat any sugar". Then when she left the room boom!
About 20 bullets fell out of her pocket. I said, "look, this is also sugar, not that you can't take it, but this is also sugar, so you do consume sugar. " So, be careful with candy, candy is also pure sugar, that candy sold in several places.
Unless it's those zero sugar candies, then there's no problem. Sugar can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, kidneys. .
. in addition to overloading the kidneys, high levels of sugar make it difficult for the kidneys to filter proteins, often leading to a loss of protein. in the urine.
So if you feel like you need a sweetie every day, sometimes it's even good for you to look for a good nutritionist. A balanced menu will help you to end this addiction. But come on, fourth food: industrialized food.
Who consumes a lot of ready-made food, a lot of industrialized food, then leave it here in the comments, which I want to see. Eating frozen or canned foods will also harm your kidneys. These foods increase the risk of several comorbidities, such as diabetes, high blood pressure.
When pressure increases, the vessels in the glomerulus can become impaired. This decreases kidney function. So much so that uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to kidney failure in the long term.
So always prefer to peel a food and not unpack it. Did you understand? But come on, fifth food is the "junk foods".
"But doctor, what is that you said? I don't understand. " You know those cafeteria snacks, a hamburger, hot dog, these are junk foods, junk food.
Good thing most people don't eat that every day. I hope you don't eat this every day. But those who consume junk food every day will have a greater chance of having type II diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, digestive problems, kidney diseases, will have a greater possibility of being obese, will be more tired, fatigued.
. . menstruation, mood swings, we can even have more depression because of this type of food, look at how harmful it is.
And why this happens? This type of food has a lot of added sugar. It has excess saturated fat, excess trans fat, this can lead to hormonal imbalances and various diseases that I just mentioned to you.
Want to eat a hamburger? You can eat, as long as this is the exception. Those who eat well, in a healthy way, practice physical exercise, have less risk of developing kidney disease.
People who take care of the underlying diseases with appropriate remedies, regularly visit the doctor, also tend to have less kidney disease. So take care now. Avoid these five types of food, and eat more and more healthily.
It's ok, guys! So, today's message is this! A big hug and until next time!
