I know that you do not hear from me much except when you have to pee or maybe if you get a urinary tract infection.
Other than that, I don’t bother you much, but there are things that you are doing that can harm me and I am pretty quiet about it……until I am not.
You are doing things like:
- Eating too much high salt and fat foods
- Keeping extra weight on yourself
- Having your blood pressure be above where it should be
You can damage me and not feel it until it is too late to fix me. So how about making some changes now so we don’t have problems in the future, like:
- Making healthier food choices
- Going walking for 40 minutes three days for a week
- Getting your blood pressure checked. Go to a doctor to see where your blood pressure is and if your blood pressure is too high, work with your doctor to do something about it to get it down and keep it down
I know it is easy to forget about me, but don’t. You take care of me and I’ll take care of you.
Love,
Your Kidneys
