Stop Doing These 8 Things — They’re Destroying Your Kidneys

Kidney health strategies can vary depending on age, genetics, and existing health conditions. For instance:

People with diabetes or hypertension need stricter kidney care protocols

Athletes may require more hydration and controlled protein intake

Elderly individuals may need to monitor medication interactions closely

❓ Frequently asked questions:

How do I know if my kidneys are damaged?

Symptoms often include fatigue, swelling, changes in urination, or high blood pressure — but kidney issues can be silent for years.

Can kidney damage be reversed?

Early-stage damage can often be managed or slowed with lifestyle changes. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires medical oversight.

Is drinking a lot of water always good for kidneys?

Yes, within reason. Overhydration can also stress the kidneys, but most people err on the side of dehydration.

Should I take supplements for kidney health?

Some supplements may help, but consult your doctor — some vitamins and herbs can actually worsen kidney function.
