00:00 Welcome back Sunbro, we hope you all in great health and great money.

00:09 Alright, today we are going to talk about
00:12 Maintain your kidneys health, 12 ways to keep your kidneys healthy.
00:15 Ensuring the well-being of your kidneys goes beyond just drinking water and eating well.
00:19 Here are some advice to maintain your kidney health.
00:22 1. Protein moderation is key, while protein is essential, consuming excessive amounts can
00:27 strain your kidneys, especially if they're not functioning optimally. Opt for a balanced intake
00:31 of proteins like eggs, fish, beans, and nuts, and consult your doctor for personalized recommendations.
00:37 2. Watch your salt intake, excessive salt consumption can elevate blood pressure and
00:42 contribute to kidney damage, including the formation of kidney stones. Be mindful of
00:46 your salt intake to protect your kidneys and overall health.
00:49 3. Kick the habit, smoking not only increases the risk of high blood pressure and diabetes,
00:54 leading causes of kidney disease, but it can also hinder the effectiveness of medications
00:58 used to manage these conditions. Quitting smoking can improve kidney function and overall health.
01:04 4. Drink responsibly, chronic heavy drinking can elevate the risk of chronic kidney disease,
01:08 while binge drinking may lead to acute kidney injury. Practice moderation and seek support
01:13 if you're struggling with alcohol consumption. 5. Be wary of sugary drinks. Both diet sodas
01:18 and sugar-sweetened beverages have been linked to kidney disease. Opt for water or herbal teas
01:23 as healthier alternatives. 6. Stay hydrated, adequate hydration is crucial for kidney function.
01:29 Ensure you're drinking enough water daily to support your kidneys and maintain overall well-being.
01:33 7. Mind your medications, certain pain medications, both over-the-counter,
01:38 such as acetaminophen, aspirin, naproxen and ibuprofen, and the prescription NSAID
01:43 Celebrex Celocoxib can harm your kidneys if used excessively. Consult your doctor about safer
01:48 alternatives or adjustments to your medication regimen. 8. Avoid illegal substances. Drug use,
01:54 including cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine, can lead to kidney damage and high blood pressure,
01:59 further increasing the risk of kidney disease. 9. Exercise safely, over-training can cause a
02:05 condition called rhabdomyolysis, which can harm your kidneys. Gradually increase the intensity
02:10 of your workouts and listen to your body to prevent injury. 10. Beware of steroids. Anabolic
02:15 steroids used for bodybuilding purposes can lead to scarring in the parts of your kidneys that
02:19 filter your blood and other serious health issues. Avoid their use and prioritize natural methods of
02:24 muscle building, even if it takes longer. 11. Consider heartburn medications. Long-term use
02:30 of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for heartburn can potentially harm your kidneys. Discuss
02:35 alternatives such as H2 blocker with your doctor if you're concerned about kidney health.
02:39 12. Treat strep throat immediately. Strep throat can sometimes lead to kidney inflammation and
02:44 damage. Seek prompt medical attention if you suspect you have an infection to prevent potential
02:48 kidney complications. By being mindful of these surprising factors, you can take proactive steps
02:54 to safeguard your kidney health and overall well-being. Remember to consult your healthcare
02:58 provider for personalized guidance and recommendations. Thanks for watching, Sunbro.
