@betterhealthnutrition: ❌ Not controlling blood pressure or blood sugar Uncontrolled hypertension and diabetes are the main causes of long-term kidney failure. ❌ Taking anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) regularly Using them frequently and without control reduces blood flow to the kidneys and can damage them gradually and irreversibly. ❌ Ignoring urinary tract infections If not treated properly, the infection can travel up to the kidneys and leave scars that don't reverse. ❌ Smoking It damages the blood vessels that supply the kidneys and reduces their filtering capacity over time. ❌ Too much salt and protein It forces them to filter more than they should each day, and that wears them down over the years. ❌ Living dehydrated If constant, it forces the kidneys to work overtime and promotes the formation of stones. The kidney doesn't give signals until it has already lost a large part of its function, and taking care of it in time is the only option. Have you done your annual checkup yet?
