World Kidney Day: Kidney is a very important part of the body. Whatever we eat during the day. It can be in any form of liquid or solid. It is not that whatever we are consuming is food. It doesn't happen that everything in them should be nutritious. Some toxins also enter the body. If these toxins remain in the body for a long time, then there is a serious risk of damage to other organs of the body. The kidney works to remove these toxins. But the thing to keep in mind here is that many times the kidney has to bear the brunt of bad habits. Will try to know what are those 5 habits, due to which there is a risk of kidney damage. If these habits are improved then the kidney can be kept healthy.

1. Excess intake of sodium, potassium
Salt is used in vegetables and other food. Salt is made up of sodium. The kidneys metabolize 95 per cent of the sodium that enters the body through food. If you take more sodium, then there is pressure on the kidney. That's why the intake of salt should be reduced. At the same time, consuming more potassium also damages the kidneys.

2. Drinking less water
Drinking water is beneficial for health. Its direct connection is also related to the health of the kidney. When the kidneys filter out the toxins, then water plays the role of a big ally in it. If you drink less water then there is more pressure on the kidneys while filtering. This causes damage to the kidney. At the same time, due to drinking less water, stones also start forming in the kidney.

3. Eating more painkillers
In case of pain, we usually buy medicine from any medical store and eat it. Some people eat painkillers when they have mild pain. At the same time, many people have the habit of taking painkillers every day. Doctors say that eating painkillers every day can prove to be extremely dangerous for the kidneys. This causes kidney damage.

4. Holding urine for a long time
Many keep urine under compulsion. Whereas, some people stop habitually. Not passing urine on time can be very dangerous for health. One of its major disadvantages is that by stopping urine, there is a risk of urinary bladder bursting. On the other hand, stopping urine increases the risk of kidney infection.

5. Smoking is also a reason
