Habits That Cause Kidney Damage

by | Jan 9, 2017

Kidney damage is caused by the bad habits that we engage in on a regular basis.  In fact, Research shows us that a staggering 20 million+ Americans have kidney disease. And there are many undiagnosed cases.  In one study, researchers found people with unhealthy habits have a 300 percent higher risk of kidney disease compared to people with healthy habits.

9 BadHabits that cause kidney damage

1. Holding in urine

Regularly holding in urine can damage your kidneys. You’re supposed to urinate when the brain signals. Holding in can cause kidney stones and other kidneys.

2. Smoking 

Research shows that smokers have a higher risk of chronic kidney disease. This is partly because smoking narrows blood vessels and increases blood pressure.

Smoking poses a higher risk of kidney damage for people with diabetes.

3. Not keeping track of blood pressure

Did you know that hypertension is one of the causes of kidney damage? Tracking blood pressure levels will reduce the risk of hypertension and consequently the lower risk of kidney disease.

4. Being inactive

Exercising improves circulation and helps manage conditions like hypertension and diabetes. Being inactive will only make things worse.

In fact, losing weight can reduce the risk of kidney damage. So make sure you exercise at least 3 times a week.

5. Overindulgence in sugary foods

Eating lots of candy or drinking a lot of soda can ruin your kidney and overall health. This study shows that high intake of sugar can increase uric acid and then lead to cardiorenal disease.

Avoid processed foods since most of them contain sugar. Eat high fiber unprocessed foods to maintain a healthy kidney.

6. Excess or regular intake of alcohol

The kidneys help remove toxic substances from our bodies. So when you drink excess alcohol, the kidneys have to work extra hard to get rid of the alcohol.

7. Dehydration

Being dehydrated lowers the performance of the kidneys. This might lead to building up of toxins in the kidney. Make sure you drink enough water each day.

8. High salt(sodium) intake

High salt intake can cause hypertension and damage your kidneys. Limit your intake to 2.5 grams a day.

9. Eating junk food

Eating unhealthy foods makes the kidney work harder than it usually does.
