Your kidneys work 24/7 to remove toxins from your body, but some common daily habits could be putting them under serious strain without you realizing it!

Kidney disease is on the rise in Nigeria, and many people only find out when it’s too late.

Here are 5 habits that could be silently damaging your kidneys:

1️⃣ Not Drinking Enough Water – Dehydration forces your kidneys to work harder, increasing the risk of kidney stones and infections. Aim for at least 2-3 liters of water daily!

2️⃣ Consuming Too Much Salt – Many Nigerians love salty foods, but excess salt raises blood pressure and puts stress on the kidneys. Reduce Maggi, processed foods, and extra table salt!

3️⃣Frequent Use of Painkillers – Overuse of drugs like ibuprofen and paracetamol can damage the kidneys over time. Only take them when necessary and in moderation.

4️⃣Holding in Urine for Too Long – Ignoring the urge to urinate can lead to kidney infections and even kidney stones. Always listen to your body!

5️⃣Drinking Too Many Soft Drinks & Alcohol – These drinks contain harmful chemicals that can weaken kidney function. Replace them with natural juices or water instead!

This simple guide will show you natural ways to keep your kidneys healthy and avoid future problems!
