One of the major organs is the kidney. In Hindi, it is called as Gurda. Don’t you think they deserve some love? They are super important for our health. They filter our blood, produce various hormones, absorb vital minerals, produce urine and eliminate toxins.
Did you know the damage of our kidneys goes unnoticed for years because of which our kidney loses its function? Therefore many of kidney diseases are known as silent disease. This is why it is important to take care before its too late.
Here is some common practice that should not be followed by us to protect our kidneys.
1. Not drinking enough water – Kidney is the one organ which filters the blood, eliminates all the toxins and waste material. When you don’t have enough water all the toxins get accumulated and can cause severe damage to the body.
2. Too much salt intake – Consumption of too much salt intake raises the blood pressure and put extra load on the kidneys. We all know that sodium is needed by our body to function well so follow a thumb rule of having 5 grams of salt per day not more than that. If you are hypertensive follow the advice of the doctor.
3. Delaying of nature’s call – Many of us ignore the urge to go to the washroom and avoid many public toilets as they are not in good condition and sanitised properly. This increases the urine pressure and can help in the formation of kidney stones and may also lead to kidney failure. So it is requested to all of you don’t ignore your nature call.

For eg – you can go for a walk with a friend or relative which will become easier for you to go for a long time. Exercising makes the body function in proper and healthy manner.
7. Binge drinking – Smoking cigarettes and Alcohol cause dehydration in the body which affects the performance of other organs as well. Most of the liver diseases are caused because of excessive alcohol intake which in turn obstructs the blood flow to the kidneys.
