How to Keep Your Kidneys Healthy 

The kidneys help filter waste products from the blood, making them crucial to your wellness. Accordingly, it’s important to support the function of your kidneys by leading a healthy lifestyle.  

What Do the Kidneys Do? 

Your kidneys play a vital role in eliminating toxins from the blood. They also perform other essential functions, like producing hormones, balancing blood pH, and producing things like protein and blood glucose.  

Steps for Maintaining Kidney Health 

You can prevent damage to your kidneys by: 

  • Limiting your intake of alcohol 
  • Maintaining a healthy weight 
  • Stopping tobacco use 
  • Reducing sodium 
  • Controlling high blood pressure 
  • Managing blood glucose levels 

People with certain health issues, such as chronic kidney disease, will also need treatment to manage their conditions and support proper function of the organs.
