drink little water
Being the organs that fulfill the function of filtration, it is logical to think that the lack of water affects their normal function. Over time, renal flow decreases and the accumulation of toxins increases, which can be fatal.
On the other hand, poor water intake can lead to the formation of kidney stones (kidney stones), due to the accumulation of salts and minerals within the kidneys.
Resist “the urge to go to the bathroom”
Holding urine for too long can be detrimental to these organs, increasing stress within the nephrons (the functional unit of the kidney). Over time, it can cause complications in the urinary tract.
Holding back the urge to go to the bathroom increases the presence of bacteria present in the urine and forms colonies that are deposited in the cavities of the tract, which increases the possibility of contracting a urinary tract infection.
Lack of exercise
Leading a sedentary lifestyle increases the possibility of the appearance of many diseases, and it does not only affect the kidneys. With physical activity, kidney function is stimulated, since many substances are produced that need to be eliminated, for example, creatinine and urea.
Other habits that also affect your kidneys are the consumption of carbonated drinks, eating a diet rich in fat, alcohol consumption, etc.
