5 Simple Tips to take Care of your Kidneys.

Here are five tips to take care of your kidneys:

1. Don't smoke:

Smoking reduces the blood flow and can prevent the blood from reaching the kidneys. If the kidneys don't get enough blood, it can't function properly. If you smoke, it also increases the chances of developing kidney cancer.

2. Doing physical exercise:

Staying fit and active is essential for your overall health. Doing regular exercise can help lower blood pressure, a major risk factor for kidney problems.

3. Maintain a healthy weight:

The kidneys have to work harder on the bodies of overweight people to compensate for the extra body mass. It takes more effort to filter waste and manage the body's other functions when there is more body mass to regulate.

4. Avoid salt:

Reducing salt intake can significantly lower many of the risk factors for kidney problems. You should also avoid processed food and prepared foods whenever possible, as they contain high amounts of salt and sodium.

5. Control blood sugar levels:

High blood sugar can damage the blood vessels in the kidneys, causing them to not work well. To protect these organs, it is important to keep your blood sugar level in a healthy range.

Let me share with you the herb that we take regularly. Since 2006 when my wife was diagnosed with kidney stones for the 3rd time a doctor advised us to try sambong pills. The “sambong” is a small plant that I consider herb. I boil the leaves and we drink it twice a week with a little sugar to deaden the acrid taste. Since then my wife had no more problem with kidney stones. When our first 2 dogs died of kidney issues I got to think that we can give them the sambong brew. Our 3rd dog died at 13 years old but not due to kidney problem. Even I who have no issues with kidney also drinks that brew twice a year. My creatinine level as of my latest test this month is normal. For the added precaution I try to drink water at least every hour, just a half glass will do so that I would also avoid dehydration.
