Steps to Take for Preventing Kidney Disease
There are 8 golden rules for prevention of kidney disease.
• Being physically active and exercising regularly goes a long way in reducing the risk of developing chronic kidney disease. Physical activities like walking, cycling, jogging, and dancing on a regular basis can keep kidney problems away.
• Maintaining normal blood sugar level is essential for good health as high blood sugar level leads to diabetes, which is a high risk factor for getting kidney disease.
• Regular monitoring of blood pressure is also important as high blood pressure leads to heart attacks or strokeswhich also cause kidney damage.
• Keepkidneys healthy by eating balanced diet, and maintaining normal weight is also equally important because obesity and unhealthy eating habits result in diabetes and heart diseases.
• Maintain normal fluid intake on daily basis (at least 3 to 4 liters a day) helps kidneys filterout sodium, urea and other harmful toxins from body which might result in chronic kidney disease.
• Quit smoking, even passive smoking can prove to be fatal as it slows down blood flow to the kidneys which decreases their ability to function well and increases the risk of kidney cancer by 50%.
• Avoid taking over the counter pills on regular basis as these are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen) which might lead to kidney damage and various other kidney related diseases. Such medications cause arthritis or back pain and put kidneys at risk.
• Get proper and regular checkup of kidneys. In case of family history of kidney disease, get checked for diabetes, hypertension, obesity, thyroid and other related problems which ensue kidney failure.
