Stay Away From Soda

Soda provides absolutely no nutrients to your body other than sugar. In a 12-ounce soda, there is as much sugar as you’d consume by eating three-and-a-half doughnuts. Yes, really. Research has already proven that drinking two or more sodas a day will double your risk of getting kidney disease. Sugar isn’t the only bad ingredient in this case, however. Because of the high amount of phosphoric acid in soda, it increases the risk of kidney problems.

Get Enough Sleep

In the University of Chicago, researches have proven that bad sleep habits can lead to an increased risk of kidney disease. People who slept 6.5 hours a day showed a 19% increase in their chance of kidney failure as opposed to those who got a full night’s sleep. When you stay up late, your kidneys do, too. With time, a lack of sleep can exhaust your kidneys and lead to failure.
