The kidneys are one of the organs that play a very important role in the human body. Therefore, it is very important to maintain good kidney health. Because if the kidneys are damaged, it is very difficult to recover.
Meanwhile, the kidneys can also potentially suffer damage due to bad daily habits. Such as the habit of consuming unhealthy drinks or the habit of drinking certain drinks excessively.
According to CNBC Indonesia, here are a series of drinks that can damage the kidneys. Listen!
1. Packaging Juice

Of course there is no harm in drinking juice. However, it will be a problem if you often enjoy instant packaged juice.
The reason is, packaged juice contains added sugar, so it is high in calories and contributes to excess fat. Apart from that, it also has the potential to damage kidney function if consumed in excess.
Meanwhile, research results also show that people who consume packaged drinks are at high risk of chronic kidney disease.
2. Soda

For those of you who like and often drink fizzy drinks, you should start stopping this habit from now on. Because fizzy drinks usually contain a lot of phosphorus and potassium, they can damage the nephron capillaries in the kidneys.
Quoted from Eat This, Not That!, findings published in the journal Epidemiology found that individuals who consume two or more fizzy drinks every day have a higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease than those who avoid these drinks.
3. Caffeine

Coffee and tea that contain high caffeine can damage the kidneys if consumed excessively. The reason is, caffeine is claimed to be a diuretic and has a bad effect on the kidney’s ability to absorb water.
Therefore, avoid consuming excessive amounts of caffeine, because it can cause chronic kidney disease and increase the risk of kidney stones.
4. Sweetened Drinks

Quoting from CNN Indonesia, sweetened drinks that are high in sugar are also not good for the kidneys. When consumed in excess, sugar can settle in the kidneys and trigger kidney stones.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health recommends limiting daily sugar consumption to 50 grams or around 4 tablespoons per day.
