The kidneys act as very efficient filters for ridding the body of waste and toxic substances, and returning vitamins, amino acids, glucose, hormones and other vital substances into the bloodstream. Kidney disease is a major health problem that many people across the globe are facing today. However, inculcating a few simple rules in your daily life can help you keep your kidneys healthy. Sujit Chatterjee, CEO of Dr. L H Hiranandani Hospital gave some golden rules to follow to keep your kidney healthy. Let me let you what they are:
Avoid Too Much Medicines & Pain Killers
Intake of too many medicines is one of the reasons for kidney failure and other kidney diseases. So, if possible, go for natural therapies and if possible, go for Ayurvedic alternatives.
Keep Blood Sugar in Control
Kidneys have to work harder to filter the excessive sugar. In the long term, it can increase the chances of kidney failure. So keep sugar levels under control.
Keep Yourself Hydrated
Regular water intake keeps kidneys healthy. So, ensure that you drink at least 8-10 glasses of water every day, as it helps in removing harmful toxins from the kidney, lowering the chances of harmful kidney-related diseases.
Maintain a Healthy Weight
Being overweight means increased pressure on your organs and more toxin accumulation in the body. So, keep the body weight in control to lower the chances of any harmful disease.

Smoking and drinking increase the burden on your kidneys by increasing the number of toxins in the body. So avoid both to make your kidneys remain healthy for a long time.
