Stay Away From Soda

Did you know that a 12-ounce soda has the same amount of sugar as almost four donuts? Soda has absolutely no nutritional value, unlike some of its fruit drink counterparts. It has been scientifically proven that consuming more than two sodas per day will highly increase your risk of kidney disease. Sugar isn’t the only bad guy here; thanks to the high amount of phosphoric acid in soda, your body is also at risk from that.

Get Enough Sleep

Proven research from the University of Chicago shows that poor sleep habits directly contribute to an increased risk of kidney disease. Compared to people who got a full night’s sleep, those who slept for six-and-a-half hours per day or less had a 19 percent increase in their risk of kidney disease. Your kidneys can’t go to sleep until you do, so the more late nights you have, your kidneys are experiencing the same. Over time, the lack of a normal sleep schedule can lead to kidney failure.
