THINGS THAT D∆MAGE YOUR KIDNEYS SILENTLY

THINGS THAT DAMAGE YOUR KIDNEYS SILENTLY

Your kidneys work every day to clean your blood, remove waste, and control water in your body. But many things we do every day are damaging them slowly without us knowing.

1. Not drinking enough water
When you don’t drink enough water, your kidneys struggle to flush out waste. This can cause stones and damage over time.

2. Taking too many painkillers
Some people take paracetamol, ibuprofen or other pain drugs for every small headache. Taking them too much or too often can damage your kidneys seriously.

3. Eating too much salt
Too much salt makes your kidneys work harder. It also raises your blood pressure, and high blood pressure is one of the biggest enemies of the kidney.

4. Holding your urine for too long
When you hold urine for long, it can cause infection and pressure to go back to the kidneys. Always urinate when you feel the urge.

5. Eating too many processed foods and sugary drinks
Sodas, too much sugar, and processed meats put extra load on your kidneys.

6. Not sleeping enough
Your kidney function is regulated by your sleep. If you don’t sleep well, it affects your kidneys too.

7. Drinking too much alcohol and smoking
These two damage your kidney blood vessels slowly and reduce kidney function.

8. Ignoring high blood pressure and diabetes
These are the two major causes of kidney failure. If you have them, you must treat them well.

Please take care of your kidneys now before it is too late. They don’t shout when they are in trouble, they suffer silently.

Drink more water, reduce salt, don’t abuse drugs, and go for check up.
