It is very important for the internal organs of the body to function properly. One of these organs is the kidney, which works to clean the blood in the body as well as remove toxins and waste materials. It also helps in maintaining the balance of electrolytes in the body. If the kidney does not work properly, then toxins will start accumulating in our body, which will have a direct effect on our heart and liver. You should know that some of your everyday bad habits have a very bad effect on the kidney. Today in this episode, we are going to tell you about those habits which work to damage the kidney. Let's know about these habits...
Holding urine
If you hold urine for a long time to avoid using public bathrooms outside the house, then this habit of yours can spoil the kidney. Holding urine for a long time puts pressure on the kidneys and toxins accumulated in the body start reaching back into the blood. This increases the risk of stones and kidney damage.
Overuse of painkillers
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) work to relieve pain. But many people are unaware of the fact that they can also damage kidneys very quickly. Especially people who already have kidney problems, they should be more careful. Minimize the regular use of NSAIDs and take it only on the advice of a doctor.
Not getting BP checked regularly
Despite having complaints of high blood pressure, most people do not get their blood pressure checked from time to time. If your blood pressure is continuously high, then definitely consult a doctor. High BP patients have a higher risk of kidney damage.
