Simple Ways to Reduce your Risk of Kidney Disease -

1. Eat healthy.
Fill your diet with nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables. A kidney-friendly diet, according to the American Kidney Fund, consists of a low protein, low salt diet so your kidneys have a lighter load to process.
Low protein doesn’t mean that you have to work with less protein; opt for organic pasta, rice, fruits and vegetables and less meat to reach your recommended daily intake.
Fruits rich in protein: passion fruit, currants, avocados, figs, oranges.
Vegetables rich in protein: Beans, potatoes, peas, turnip greens, asparagus, squash, broccoli.
2. Eat Less Salt.
Keep an eye out for foods that are high in sodium; they raise your blood pressure and give your kidneys a hard time. Make it a habit to read nutrition labels; you might be surprised at the amount of sodium in some food like canned soups and sauces.
3. Avoid / limit purines.
Excess purine makes the kidneys inflamed, leading to kidney damage and disease. Avoid foods high in purine such as red meat, animal organs, anchovies, seafood and alcoholic beverages.
Butter, oatmeal, nuts, tomatoes and other fruits, as well as wheat germ contain all the purines our bodies need to function.
4. Keep your blood sugar in check.
Our kidneys play a major role in sugar absorption.  Excessive amounts of sugar in our diet tend to build up in the kidneys. Avoid this from happening by regularly checking your blood sugar levels and staying away from processed sweets and sugary beverages.
5. Keep your blood pressure controlled.
A constantly high blood pressure level damages blood vessels, including the ones in the kidneys crucial for proper kidney function. Aside from a healthy diet, you need to get your weight down to your ideal BMI as well as limit caffeine intake. If you take prescription medication for maintaining your blood pressure, make sure you take that regularly and as directed.
6. Exercise.
The numerous benefits of exercise include lowering blood pressure, weight loss, and prevention of heart and kidney disease.
7. Keep yourself hydrated.
Water flushes out toxins from the body. It also dilutes any build-up of purines, sugars, and salts in your system, helping your kidneys with an easier time at eliminating them.
8. Use medication wisely.
The World Health Organization specifically mentions over-the-counter painkillers as one of the heavy hitters on kidney health.  Use analgesics sparingly, and as much as possible, ask your doctor for the right dose and duration for taking any type of medication.
9. Stop Smoking.
Smoking damages almost all the systems of the body, including our kidneys. If you stop smoking, you’ll no doubt notice an overall improvement on health, as well as reduce your risk of kidney disease
