10 dangerous habbits that secretly damage your kidneys daily.

You may be wondering why people die of kidney diseases every day. This should be certain today that we do not need to inform you that kidneys are very important for our health and general well-being. It only makes sense, since they have such a vital role to play in our bodies. Or perhaps the plural form would be more suitable here: vital roles.

They filter our blood, eliminate any nasty toxins, neutralize acids and even absorb minerals. The problem is that kidney damage can usually go unnoticed for years. This is because these powerful little organs can function with as little as 20 percent of their capacity!

So now you know why the term ‘silent diseases’ is used for diseases related to your kidneys. And we cannot stress enough how crucial it is to take good care of them before it is too late. So, we’d like to offer you a list of 10 bad habits which put a lot of strain on one’s kidneys.

A Ghanaian Medical Officer in the USA has sent a message similar to this previously to help each and everyone. Please read and take care of yourself.

The rate at which young people are suffering
from Kidney disease is alarming.I am sharing a
post which can help us.

Barely few months days ago, we all received the news of the demise of the Nigerian actor as a result of kidney disease.
ALSO A NIGERIAN MINISTER OF PUBLIC WORKS, the Honorable Teko Lake is currently in the Hospital on life support with Kidney problems. 

The following are the causes of kidney infections and how to avoid them:

  1. Not Drinking Sufficient Amounts of Water

Do you know that your Kidneys need to be properly hydrated so that they can function without any issues. If you fail to take the volume of water  which is necessary for your system each day, then that can lead to a toxin accumulation in your blood.

The reason is because water helps to flush down toxins from in your system and also helps to dilute the level of acid in your stomach and at the same time drains the toxins in your system. So, when water is not readily available, it leads to  lack of fluid for draining such toxins through your kidneys. Ensure you avoid this bad habit for healthy KIDNEYS.

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 glasses 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.

  2. Postponing a call of Nature (to urinate)

The more you ignore the ‘call of nature’, the more strain you put on your kidneys (and your bladder too!). Regular urine retention most often leads to urine pressure and even possible kidney stones and kidney failure. Listen to your body and heed it when it needs to go.

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 you're pressed, go to the toilet and urinate as fast as possible.

3. Too Much Salt

While it’s true that one’s body needs sodium (salt) to function properly, there is indeed too much of a good thing. Consuming too much salt can have an adverse effect, not just by stressing out your kidneys but also raising your blood pressure.

The recommended daily dose of salt is no more than 5 grams. Try not to consume any more than that. You should eat no more
than 5.8 grams of
salt daily.

4. Get Rid of Any Sugar Cravings

Did you know that those who consume more than two sugar-filled drinks a day have much more of a chance to have protein in their urine? Trust us, that’s not a good thing, as protein in one’s urine usually represents an early indicator that something is not right with one’s kidneys.

A study conducted by the University in Japan only served to prove this. Too much sugary drinks (or sugar intake in general) leads to protein in one’s urine (Proteinuria), which may be an early sign of kidney disease. The good news is that, if it is discovered in time, it may be reversible.

5. Insufficient Sleep

Not only is proper sleep a major factor in everyone’s overall health, but also for the specific health of their kidneys. Were you aware that the tissue of your kidneys gets renewed during your slumber?

Which means that any interruptions in your sleep may result in kidney damage over time. Another good reason to get some sound sleep.

6. Too Much Animal Protein

Like we said, too much protein (especially from red meat and other animal products) is never good news for one’s kidneys.

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.

Please, it's very important you ponder on this fact that, the more you consume of animal proteins, the harder your kidneys have to work. This is because, animal proteins increases the metabolic load (that is, the sum total of chemical reactions) on the kidneys. Such continuous hard work may eventually result in kidney dysfunction.

7. Alcohol Overconsumption

When consumed in large amounts, alcohol represents a toxin which puts a lot of stress, not just on the kidneys, but on the liver as well. Don’t get us wrong, consuming one glass of wine or beer once in a while is healthy – that fact remains but you have to know that anything that you drink and it gives you a pleasurable feelings will definitely become addictive to your skin and therefore leading to regular and frequent consumption, which in turn damages your kidneys when it's over stressed to detoxify large amount of alcohol so overdoing it is certainly not healthy to your system.

8. Vitamin and Mineral Deficiencies

You are surely aware that a diet rich in vitamins and minerals is the #1 way of maintaining proper kidney and overall health. That’s why the risk of kidney stones goes up if one’s diet is lacking in these things. The same thing applies to kidney failure.

Vitamin B6 and magnesium are of particular importance when it comes to keeping any kidney stone formation at bay.

9. Painkiller Over-use

Many over-the-counter medicines, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), while they may do their job in alleviating any aches or pains, may cause damage to your kidneys. This goes particularly for all of those who are already dealing with kidney disease.

Make sure never to take more than the recommended dosage and reduce your intake in general, opting instead for natural remedies. There are plenty of other alternatives out there for soothing any pain.

10. Smoking

I know you're not expecting me to say this. After all, you’ve heard of all the negative sides smoking can offer. Smoking does not only weaken the functionality of the kidney but tend to rapidly damage it even faster that alcohol.  So, if you happen to be a smoker, even one who rarely ever takes a puff, best to say goodbye to that awful habit as it’s dangerous for your kidneys too.
