'Every day, the two bean-shaped organs in your body called kidneys work hard to filter out waste products and excess water through urine. They keep electrolyte levels balanced, produce hormones that make red blood cells and help regulate blood pressure. People who have high blood pressure, diabetes or a family history of kidney failure are at a higher risk of having kidney disorders. However, even if you don’t fall into any of these high-risk groups, it’s essential to that you take care of your kidneys as a preventive measure. Below are the top 5 tips for keeping kidneys Healthy and strong: 1. Stop Smoking Smoking hardens blood vessels and can therefore lead to renal failure As such, quitting smoking is one of the best measures for keeping your kidneys healthy as it also improves kidney function 2. Have Foods Rich in Vitamins and Minerals Foods rich in vitamin B6 and magnesium (e.g. banana, spinach) prevent the formation of oxalic acid that damages kidneys. Vitamin D rich foods (milk, egg yolk) on the other hand, regulate kidney function. 3. Quit Alcohol Alcohol is known to disrupt kidney’s natural ability to filter blood Heavy drinking leads to kidney failure Alcohol is also known to raise blood pressure 4. Reduce Salt Intake Excessive salt intake increases blood pressure and damages kidneys in the long run Reduce salt intake to below 5 grams per day 5. Restrict High Protein Diet Excess protein accelerates kidney damage in patients with weak kidneys For example - moong dal, urad dal, tur dal, rajma etc. #kidney #how_to_keep_kidney_healthy #healthy_kidney Ask any of your questions in the comment section.
