Do not Lazy Drink Water, Kidneys Can Suffer
Jakarta, Facing the commemoration of World Kidney Day, Indonesia Hydration Working Group (IHWG) launched the Ayo Drinking Water movement (AMIR). The goal is that more and more people are aware of the importance of white water consumption to maintain kidney health. IHWG chairman Dr. dr Budi Wiweko, SpOG (K), said people today when thirsty prefer to consume a sweet drink. In the long run the habit is certainly not healthy because it will increase the intake of calories that trigger obesity and also make the kidney work extra hard at risk of failure. According to data from the Ministry of Health in Indonesia the number of patients with kidney disease increased nearly 100 percent in the period 2014-2015. Consequently, the National Health Insurance (JKN) should cover the health costs of up to Rp 2.68 trillion for chronic renal failure patients.Read: After Eating Mangosteen Banned from Drinking Beverages Now many countries are aware of the harmful components of sugar.
