Eat Healthy & Stay Active

A kidney-friendly diet includes less salt and carbs, more fruits and veggies. This helps prevent diabetes, and high blood pressure, which are bad for your kidneys. Exercise like walking, jogging,  for 30 minutes a day can also keep your kidneys healthy.

Monitor Your Health

Keep an eye on your diabetes, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. These can harm your kidneys if not controlled. Losing weight if you're overweight reduces your risk of kidney problems.
