The kidneys are one of the basic body organs that must be taken care of, as they contribute to purifying the body from toxins and impurities, regulating the metabolism and excreting urine, as well as regulating blood pressure in the body.

And the Russian nephrologist, Lyudmila Artyukhina, confirmed that the enemy of the kidneys, even healthy ones, is table salt.

She noted the problem of excessive consumption of this food product due to the popularity of fast food and semi-finished products in modern society, as well as products in which salt is generously applied.

“In addition, people also have a high degree of sensitivity to salt,” Artyukhina said.

According to her, there are often no painful symptoms with kidney problems, so patients often go to the hospital at a serious stage of the disease.

The doctor explained: “Sometimes her symptoms appear when the disease is ‘before my bed’. This is manifested in weakness, fatigue and swelling when walking. Perhaps arterial hypertension. Kidney disease can present itself with arterial hypertension.”

Artyukhina indicated that in the event of problems with blood pressure, an examination is required. It concluded that a healthy lifestyle is essential to kidney health.
