Do you want to keep your kidneys healthy? Avoid these things:

1. Excess salt intake. High salt foods are high in sodium, which can increase blood pressure and eventually harm the kidneys.

2. High sugar intake. High sugar intake contributes to obesity which increases risk of high blood pressure and diabetes (leading causes of kidney disease).

3. Smoking. Smokers are more prone to have protein in their urine (which is an indicator of kidney damage).

4. Processed foods. These types of food tend to be high in sodium and phosphorus.

5. Excessive use of painkillers. Pain relievers may reduce aches and pains but can harm the kidneys. Minimize regular use of such drugs and NEVER exceed the recommended dosages.
