Say Goodbye To Those Cigarettes
Today, it’s not a secret that smoking is very bad for your lungs and heart, but you might not know that it is just as bad for your kidneys. In 2000, a study in the Annals of Internal Medicine revealed that chain smokers, current and former, have a higher risk of developing kidney disease. Using things like cigarettes creates creatinine in the body, a substance that is harmful to the kidneys. While former smokers are a bit less likely to develop the disease than current smokers, it’s never too late to kick the habit.

Try To Avoid Processed Foods
Companies often add a large amount of sodium to keep food fresh longer but this is quite dangerous for kidney health. Aside from sodium, processed foods have other ingredients that are in amounts much higher than the body should be consuming. Potassium and phosphorus are some of these ingredients which are fine in small amounts but can be damaging if people take in a lot. Kidneys control potassium levels, so too much of it can be stressful on the organ. You should limit the frequency and amount of processed foods that you’re eating.
