Well, what I quoted said "Most of the things you posted doesn't apply to young adults and children" and from the 1 - 4 concerns kids and young adults too so...
And what do u mean talking about the kidney? Are u implying young adults and kids do not suffer kidney problems? If that's it I suggest u take today to visit a hospital close to u and see for urself or make me understand what u mean.

Thank you but one thing must kill a man. Adegboye and co want to go to heaven but they don't want to die even the old ones.

If you believe heaven is better then why wait to grow old before dying?

It doesn't. A kid can take plenty of salt and a kid needs lots of protein as well. These things apply to adults, whatever post the Op copied, it was for adults!!!

Your kidneys are vital to your overall health, filtering waste and excess fluids from your body. However, certain every day habits can harm these essential organs. Your kidneys might not have a voice, but if they did, they'd beg you to stop doing the following harmful activities.

Habits to Avoid for Kidney Health

1. Consuming Too Much Salt
A high-sodium diet can cause your kidneys to work overtime, leading to high blood pressure and eventually kidney damage. Many processed foods, snacks, and even some restaurant dishes are loaded with salt, so monitoring your sodium intake is important.

2. Not Drinking Enough Water
Dehydration is one of the main reasons kidney stones develop. Water helps flush out toxins and prevents the formation of Kidney stones.

3. Excessive Use of Painkillers
Frequent use of over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen, aspirin, or naproxen can damage your kidneys, especially if used in high doses over a long period. These medications reduce blood flow to the kidneys, causing stress and eventually leading to kidney problems. If you're experiencing pain, it’s best to consult a doctor to find safer alternatives.

4. Eating Too Much Protein
While protein is essential for your body, consuming excessive amounts, especially from red meat, can strain your kidneys. Breaking down protein produces waste that your kidneys must filter out, and too much of it can lead to kidney overload.

5. Smoking and Excessive Alcohol Consumption
Both smoking and heavy alcohol use can harm your kidneys by reducing blood flow and raising your risk of high blood pressure and diabetes—two leading causes of kidney disease. Reducing or eliminating these habits can significantly lower your risk of kidney damage.

6. Ignoring Symptoms of Kidney Problems
Pain in your lower back, changes in urination, and unexplained fatigue can all signal kidney issues. Ignoring these symptoms can allow conditions to worsen, so it’s important to see a doctor if anything feels off.

How to Maintain Healthy Kidneys?

Taking care of your kidneys is crucial for your overall well-being. Here are some ways to keep them in top shape:

1. Stay Hydrated
Drinking enough water is essential for kidney health. Water helps flush out toxins and prevents the formation of kidney stones. Aim for about 8-10 glasses of water per day, but adjust based on your individual needs, activity level, and climate.

2. Maintain a Balanced Diet
Your diet plays a significant role in kidney health. Eating a balanced diet that's low in sodium, rich in fruits and vegetables, and moderate in protein helps lighten the load on your kidneys. Also, try to limit your intake of processed foods.

3. Control Blood Pressure and Blood Sugar Levels
High blood pressure and diabetes are leading causes of kidney damage. Keeping these conditions in check with the right diet, exercise, and medication can significantly reduce your risk of kidney disease.

4. Exercise Regularly
Regular physical activity helps maintain a healthy weight, lower blood pressure, and improve overall cardiovascular health—all of which support proper kidney function. Even moderate exercise, like walking or cycling, can make a big difference.

5. Avoid Excessive Use of Painkillers
Use medications only when necessary, and always follow the dosage instructions. If you experience chronic pain, consult your doctor about alternatives that are less harmful to your kidneys.

6. Monitor Your Health Regularly
Regular check-ups can help catch kidney issues early, especially if you have a family history of kidney disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure. Regular blood tests and urine analysis can help assess your kidney function and overall health.

Foods to Eat for Healthy Kidneys.

What you eat can either help or harm your kidneys. Here are some kidney-friendly foods to include in your diet:

1. Leafy Greens
Spinach, kale, and other leafy greens are packed with vitamins and minerals that support kidney health. They are low in potassium and high in antioxidants, making them excellent for your kidneys.

2. Berries
Blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are rich in antioxidants that can help protect your kidneys from oxidative stress. They also contain fiber, which supports healthy digestion and reduces the workload on your kidneys.

3. Garlic
Garlic is a natural anti-inflammatory food that helps reduce inflammation in the kidneys. It also helps lower cholesterol and protect against kidney disease.

4. Cauliflower
This vegetable is high in fiber and a great source of vitamin C, which can boost your kidney function. It also contains compounds that help your body neutralize toxins.

5. Apples
Apples are high in fiber and contain anti-inflammatory properties that can benefit your kidneys. They also help regulate blood sugar levels, which is important for preventing diabetes-related kidney damage.

6. Fish Rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Salmon, mackerel, and sardines are high in omega-3s, which help reduce inflammation in the kidneys and lower blood pressure. Omega-3s are essential for maintaining kidney health and preventing chronic kidney disease.


7. Cranberries
Cranberries are known to prevent urinary tract infections, which can help keep your kidneys healthy. They help prevent bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract lining, reducing the risk of infections that could harm your kidneys.

Conclusion
Your kidneys are working hard every day to keep your body balanced and free of toxins. By making small lifestyle changes—like reducing salt, staying hydrated, and eating kidney-friendly foods—you can ensure they stay healthy for years to come. Listen to the silent signals your kidneys might be sending and make the necessary changes now before it’s too late. Your kidneys will thank you!

Nice write up, very educative and instructive.
