June is Dengue Awareness and National Kidney Month.

Our kidneys are designed such that their filtration capacity naturally declines after the age of 30-40 years. With every decade after your 30s, your kidney function is going to reduce by 10%.

Here’s 10 Simple tips to prevent the risk of kidney disease.

–       Manage diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease.

In most of the cases, kidney disease is a secondary illness that results from a primary disease or condition such as diabetes, heart disease or high blood pressure. Around 50% of people who have diabetes develop kidney problems. Therefore, controlling sugar levels, cholesterol and blood pressure by following a healthy diet, exercise regimen and medication guidelines  followed by an annual health check-up is good for all those above 40 years of age to keep kidney disease at bay.

–       Reduce the intake of salt.

Salt increases the amount of sodium in diet. It not only increases blood pressure but also triggers the formation of kidney stones. Hence, it is a good idea to lower your intake of salt and restricting it to five-six grams of salt per day, which accounts to one teaspoon, is beneficial. In general, it is good to limit the amount of processed and restaurant food and eat home cooked food with clean and fresh ingredients

–       Maintain a healthy fluid intake

Hydrating ourselves with enough fluids enables kidneys to evacuate sodium, urea and toxins from the body and, thereby, lowering the risk of developing chronic kidney disease. While drinking at least 4-6 glasses of water per day is recommended for a healthy kidney, people who have already had a kidney stone are advised to drink 2 to 3 liters of water daily to lessen the risk of forming new stones.
