That’s why it’s crucial to reduce what damages them before warning signs appear.

The four silent poisons that damage your kidneys

POISON #4: Sedentary lifestyle

Sitting for hours reduces circulation and limits the oxygen that reaches the kidneys.

Quick solution: Get up every hour for 5 minutes, walk around, stretch, or move around slightly.

POISON #3: Commonly Used Anti-Inflammatory Drugs

Medications like ibuprofen, naproxen, or diclofenac decrease blood flow to the kidneys if used regularly.

Recommendation: Avoid self-medicating. For chronic pain, consult a doctor about safe alternatives.

POISON #2: Hidden Sodium

Most dangerous salt isn’t in the salt shaker, but in processed foods: sausages, instant soups, commercially baked breads, bouillon cubes, and snacks.

Practical tip: Check labels. More than 400 mg of sodium per serving = red alert. Opt for natural herbs for seasoning.

POISON #1: Sugar and Refined Flour

These are the most destructive “white ingredients” because they raise glucose levels, thicken the blood, and damage the nephrons. They are also a key cause of diabetes and hypertension.

Immediate action: Eliminate sugary drinks, reduce bread and cookies, and increase vegetables, legumes, and whole grains.

Warning signs you shouldn’t ignore:

Foamy urine.

Swelling in feet or ankles.
