10 HARMFUL Daily Habits That Destroy Your KIDNEYS!

Kidneys are essential to keeping us healthy. They do the heavy lifting of filtering out toxins and waste from our blood and keeping our body's fluids and minerals in balance. Unfortunately, some of our everyday habits may cause real trouble, even when we think we’re living pretty healthy.
Be it excessive alcohol or not getting enough sleep, some daily habits that we practice may harm our kidneys. Since they are our body’s primary filter organ, keeping them safe is essential.
In today’s video, we will explain 10 daily habits that may put our kidneys at risk without us even realizing it. Learning and identifying them will help us mitigate the risk.

✍️ Summary:
Not drinking enough water
Dehydration may lead to kidney damage through a series of interconnected biological processes. Essentially, when your body lacks sufficient water, the blood becomes more concentrated and viscous. This thicker blood is harder for your heart to pump, which reduces the flow of blood to vital organs, including the kidneys. The kidneys rely on adequate blood flow to filter waste from your blood and regulate fluid, electrolytes, and acid-base balance.
Excessive salt intake
Excessive salt intake may lead to kidney damage through a cascade of physiological effects. Salt, or sodium chloride, is vital for bodily functions, but too much may be detrimental. When you consume too much salt, your body retains water to dilute the high sodium concentration in your bloodstream. This increased water retention raises blood volume, which means more work for the heart and higher pressure on blood vessels.
Overusing painkillers
Overusing painkillers, especially non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen, may lead to kidney damage through several mechanisms. These drugs work by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins may play a crucial role in dilating blood vessels leading to the kidneys, which helps maintain proper blood flow and kidney function.
Eating processed foods
Eating processed foods frequently may harm kidney health due to their high contents of sodium, phosphates, and other additives. These elements place a significant strain on the kidneys, compelling them to work harder to filter out these excessive and often harmful substances.
When you consume a diet rich in processed foods, you typically ingest high levels of sodium, which, as discussed previously, may lead to high blood pressure. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for kidney damage, as it may harm the blood vessels in the kidneys, reducing their ability to clean the blood efficiently. Over time, this may lead to a decrease in kidney function.
Smoking
Smoking is notoriously harmful to almost every organ in the body, and the kidneys are no exception. Smoking leads to a reduction in blood flow throughout the body, including to the kidneys. Nicotine in cigarettes constricts blood vessels, making them narrower and less flexible, which is the main cause of this reduction. As a result, the decreased blood flow may impair the kidneys' ability to filter blood effectively. Over time, this may lead to a condition known as ischemia, which weakens the kidneys and may cause permanent damage.
