medicine

It’s been a while since I’ve posted about anything relating to medicine. I was is nephrology unit this week so I’ll be educating y’all on kidney diseases. 

Your kidneys work 24/7 
They filter your blood, balance fluids, and help control your blood pressure. But kidney disease can creep in quietly and cause serious damage before you even notice.

Here’s how to protect your kidneys:
	•	Drink enough water
	•	Control your blood pressure & blood sugar
	•	Eat less salt & processed food
	•	Move your body
	•	Be mindful of painkillers
	•	Say no to smoking

You only get two — treat them well!

Thanks for the reminder on taking care of our kidneys! It's easy to overlook their importance until there's a problem. These simple steps can go a long way in maintaining kidney health. Prevention is key when it comes to kidney diseases. Stay hydrated and make those lifestyle changes to keep your kidneys happy and healthy!
