Watch Your Red Meat Intakes
Eating red meat every once in a while isn’t such a bad thing. However, eating too much of it is dangerous for your kidneys over time. It’s been confirmed by the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology that red meat can be toxic for the kidneys if consumed in high amounts or too often. On the other hand, plant-based proteins actually repair kidney injury. Replacing one serving of red meat a week with a plant-based protein will actually lower the risk of you getting kidney disease by 62%.

Get Those Legs Moving
If you happen to have a desk job that doesn’t involve too much moving, you should be more aware of how often you’re standing up during the day. In a research study done in 2018, it was found that just one extra hour of physical activity a day can seriously decrease the risk of your kidneys failing. It wasn’t certain why sitting down increased the chance for kidney disease, but some researchers think it has something to do with blood glucose and cholesterol levels. In other words, the more you stand up and walk around, the healthier your kidneys will be.
