Did you know? Doctors recommend observing 3 points on the body. If the “color is not dark”, it means the kidneys are still strong, not just under the eyes – lips.
Just looking at some external characteristics can help us know more about the “kidney health”. Dr. Jie Yu, deputy head of the Department of Nephrology Immunology, Tongji Hospital, China, said that kidneys play many important roles in the human body. When the kidneys are not strong, their functions such as excretion, blood and waste filtration, blood pressure control, and participation in various metabolic processes will also be affected, which will result in changes both inside and outside the body.
Therefore, in addition to the characteristics of urine or pain that occurs in certain areas, we should not ignore abnormalities related to the external appearance of the ยูฟ่าเบท body. If the following 3 areas of the body are found to be “not abnormally dark”, it means that the kidneys are still healthy.
1. Under eye area
Dr. Jie reminded that the area under the eyes reflects the health of the kidneys in many ways. When kidney function declines, the kidneys’ ability to filter waste and control fluids decreases. Causing the accumulation of fluid and toxins that cannot be eliminated in time. Resulting in swelling and discoloration of the skin under the eyes. If the area under the eyes is not dark and the swelling is not too obvious, it may be a sign that the kidneys are still functioning well.
2. Lips
The color of the lips is a clear reflection of the state of the blood and kidney health. Healthy people usually have pink and moist lips. But when the kidneys are weak, it will affect the ability to filter blood and blood circulation. Causing the amount of oxygen in the body to decrease, resulting in dark or gray lips. The kidneys cannot eliminate toxins in time, causing melanin to increase, and the lips gradually darken. Therefore, if the lips are not black or have abnormal black spots, it means that the kidneys are healthy.
3. Nails
Nails are located at the ends of the limbs, far from the heart, and are very mobile, so they often reflect the health of the internal organs, especially the kidneys. The nails of people with healthy kidneys are usually bright pink, shiny and flexible. According to Dr. Jie, when kidney function declines, the body’s water and mineral control processes are affected. At the same time, the blood filtration and waste filtration processes are more or less disrupted, resulting in dry, brittle, dull and dark nails.
However, of course, these signs are not always due to kidney problems, but can occur due to other causes and other health problems. It is important to see a doctor as soon as possible to make sure, especially if you have abnormal urination, fatigue, or back pain.
