Kidney Health
A sedentary lifestyle, increased consumption of junk and processed food, eating outside food regularly, increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus & hypertension and lack of exercise have increased the risk of kidney diseases among many other health problems, and have become a major public concern. Diseases of the kidney can go unnoticed until it has progressed into an advanced stage. People at high risk for kidney diseases include those leading an unhealthy lifestyle, with a history of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, or kidney failure. Adopting a healthy lifestyle and eating a balanced diet can go a long way in preventing progression of the kidney diseases. Regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, quitting smoking and drinking alcohol, staying hydrated, and regular health screening like blood and urine investigations can help in detecting the disease at a very early and treatable stage. If the kidney disease is left untreated, an individual may lose more than 90% of the kidney function capacity and have to depend on dialysis lifelong or undergo kidney transplantation.
