Top-6 Bad Habits That Cause Kidney Damage

1. Delaying going to a toilet

Keeping your urine in your bladder for too long
is a bad idea. A full bladder can cause bladder
damage. The urine that stays in the bladder
multiplies bacteria quickly. Once the urine
refluxes back to the ureter and kidneys, the
toxic substances can result in kidney
infections, then urinary tract infections, and
then nephritis, and even uremia. When nature
calls – do it as soon as possible.

2. Eating too much salt

You should eat no more than 5.8 grams of salt
daily. Too much of salt does great damage to the kidney.

3. Eating too much meat

Too much protein in your diet is harmful for
your kidneys. Protein digestion produces
ammonia – a toxin that is very destructive to
your kidneys. More meat equals more kidney
damage.

4. Drinking too much caffeine

Caffeine is a component of many sodas and
soft drinks. It raises your blood pressure and
your kidneys start suffering. So you should cut
down the amount of coke you drink daily.

5. Not drinking water

Our kidneys should be hydrated properly to
perform their functions well. If we don’t drink
enough, the toxins can start accumulating in
the blood, as there isn’t enough fluid to drain
them through the kidneys. Drink more than 10
gla$$es of water daily. There is an easy way
to check if you are drinking enough water: look
at the colour of your urine; the lighter the
colour, the better.

6. Late treatment

Treat all your health problems properly and
have your health checked regularly.
