Don’t Underestimate A Cold

The CDC says that on average, a person will have to deal with somewhere between two to three colds each year. Most people think that the common cold is nothing to stress about, but you shouldn’t take them so lightly. If you are someone who always leaves colds without a doctor’s treatment, your body will eventually start to make more antibodies, and after a while, they will start to become unhealthy for your kidneys. 72 percent of Americans stay home from work when they’re sick, and 100 percent of those people should be seeing a doctor!

Don’t Wait To Use The Restroom

We’re sure you knew this already, but the longer urine stays in your body, the worse it is for you. Actually, holding in your urge to use the restroom is actually one of the easiest ways to develop a kidney problem. Urine is a breeding ground for bacteria, and there’s a reason it should be leaving your body. If you hold in your urine long enough and it makes its way to your kidneys, you’ll regret not getting off of the couch to use the restroom a while ago.
