Get Your Blood Pressure Checked

Many people are aware that blood pressure is the “silent killer” (as it is nicknamed) because it doesn’t show any “precise” symptoms or signs if anything is wrong. As such, it is recommended to get your blood pressure checked regularly to work on its stability if needs be (as stipulated by the American Heart Association). If your blood pressure rises, it will put a strain on the kidney to effectively regulate the blood, which may lead to kidney failure and other life-threatening illnesses.

Limit Your Coffee Intake

Having a daily cup of coffee is not so bad, in fact, some research even indicates it can be good for you, but when it turns into several cups per day, every day, that’s when you are really hurting yourself. The excessive amounts of caffeine in the body increases the blood pressure and pushes the kidneys to overwork because of the imbalance and instability. Research by the National Kidney Foundation notes it is okay to have between two to four cups per day but with high consideration for additives such as creamers, sugar, and flavored syrup, which is high in sugar and fat. The less you consume, the more your body will love you.
