Quit Smoking
Whether you do it once a week, month, or year, a lot of us know by now that smoking is not healthy for your body. We have been well educated on the fact that smoking is dangerous for the lungs and heart, but not so much interest has been placed on the kidneys’ danger. When you smoke, this allows creatinine (a harmful substance that is usually excreted in the urine) to be produced in the body, which slowly makes its way to the kidneys and affects them negatively. Reports have shown both former and present smokers do develop kidney problems because of this harmful practice but quitting does help minimize the risk!

Leave Dried Apricots Off Your Menu
Apricots may be rich in vitamin A & C as well as fiber, but what many are not aware of is the high level of potassium they have. This is pretty unhealthy for your kidneys’ health. Take note, a cup of dried apricots contains roughly 1,500 mg of potassium, which is already 75% of your daily intake of potassium. Leave it off your menu or maybe just have one or two once in a while.
