*CAUSES OF KIDNEY DISEASES. BEWARE AND BEWARNED!*
Ghanaian are increasingly dying as a result of kidney
disease.
HOW TO AVERT THE MENACE OF KIDNEY DISEASE:
*1. Stop delaying going to a toilet.*
Keeping your urine in your bladder for too long is a bad idea.
A full bladder can cause bladder damage.
The urine that stays in the bladder multiplies bacteria
quickly. Once the urine reflxes back to the urether and kidneys, toxic
substances can result in kidney infections, then urinary tract infections, and
nephritis, plus uremia.
When nature calls do it as soon as possible.
*2. Eating too much salt.*
You should eat not more than 5.8 grams of salt daily.
*3. Eating too much meat.*
Too much protein in your diet is harmful for your kidneys.
Protein digestion produces ammonia – a toxin that is very destructive to your kidneys.
More meat equals more kidney damage.
*4. Drinking too much caffeine.*
Caffeine is a component of many sodas and soft drinks. It
raises your blood pressure and your kidneys start suffering.
You should cut down the amount of Coke, Pepsi, Red Bull, etc
that you drink daily.
*5. Not drinking water.*
Our kidneys should be hydrated properly to perform their
functions well.
If we don’t drink
enough, the toxins can start accumulating in the blood, as there isn’t enough fluid to drain them
through kidneys.
***Drink more than 10 glasses of water daily. There is an
easy way to check if you are drinking enough water: Look at the colour of your
urine; the lighter the colour, the better.
*6. Late treatment.*
Treat all your health problems properly and have your health
checked regularly.
