Drinking less water
Drinking less water can damage the kidneys. Lack of water increases the risk of kidney and urinary tract infections. Due to which, nutrient particles reach the bladder and interfere with the cleansing of urine. Along with this, the risk of kidney stones also increases. Therefore, it is recommended to drink at least 2 to 3 liters of water a day.
Drinking more water
Drinking too much water also invites kidney problems, just like if a person is given more work than his strength, then he will also get tired one day. Similarly, the kidneys should be given 3 to 5 liters of water regularly. Not less than 3 liters, not more than 5 liters.
Drinking cold drinks
Chemicals found in cold drinks are highly responsible for kidney damage, they should be avoided
Smoking and tobacco use
Smoking and tobacco use can cause many serious problems (especially lung-related diseases), but can also cause atherosclerosis. Due to which the blood flow in the blood vessels slows down and the efficiency of the kidneys decreases due to less blood. So do not smoke and tobacco.
Not urinating in the morning
See, throughout the night, the bladder is completely filled with urine, which needs to be emptied as soon as you wake up in the morning. But when people do not urinate due to laziness and hold it for a long time, then it causes a lot of damage to the kidneys.
Holding urine
Urination should not be stopped, urine removes all the waste products from the body through the urethra. Therefore, under no circumstances should urine be withheld.
Excessive salt intake
It is true that salt enhances the taste of our food, but excessive salt intake has the opposite effect. 95 percent of the sodium we consume through food is metabolized by the kidneys. Therefore, unnecessarily high salt intake increases their activity and weakens the kidneys.
Neglect in high BP treatment
Neglect in the treatment of high blood pressure, i.e. high BP, is a major cause of kidney problems. Therefore, always measure and control your BP at the right time because it is the second cause of chronic kidney disease
Not stopping sugar
About thirty percent of diabetic patients develop kidney disease and one-third of people with kidney disease develop diabetes. From this, it is clear that these two problems are related. Therefore, it is necessary to control the amount of sugar in the blood. Food and drink should also be controlled. It is best to stop sugar
Excessive intake of painkillers
Avoid buying medicines without a doctor’s advice. Taking painkillers from the store without a doctor’s advice can be dangerous for the kidneys. Regular use of common medicines such as steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen) etc. can damage the kidneys and destroy them completely.
Other harmful habits
Some other habits that can damage the kidneys are drinking too much alcohol, not getting enough rest, drinking soft drinks and soda, eating fasted or contaminated food, not treating high blood pressure and eating too much meat. Due to which the kidneys get damaged a lot.
