TAKE CARE OF YOUR KIDNEYS
*Preventing Chronic Kidney Disease*
You are more likely to develop kidney disease if you have
📌diabetes
📌high blood pressure
📌heart disease
📌a family history of kidney failure
**What can I do to keep my kidneys healthy?
You can protect your kidneys by preventing or managing health conditions that cause kidney damage, such as diabetes and high blood pressure. The steps described below may help keep your whole body healthy, including your kidneys.
During your next medical visit, you may want to ask your health care provider about your kidney health. Early kidney disease may not have any symptoms, so getting tested may be the only way to know your kidneys are healthy. Your health care provider will help decide how often you should be tested.
See a provider right away if you develop a urinary tract infection (UTI), which can cause kidney damage if left untreated.
**Tips for making healthy food choices**
📌Cook with a mix of spices instead of salt.
📌Choose veggie toppings such as spinach, broccoli, and peppers for your pizza.
📌Try baking or broiling meat, chicken, and fish instead of frying.
📌Serve foods without gravy or added fats.
📌Try to choose foods with little or no added sugar.
📌Gradually work your way down from whole milk to 2 percent milk until you’re drinking and cooking with fat-free (skim) or low-fat milk and milk products.
📌Eat foods made from whole grains—such as whole wheat, brown rice, oats, and whole-grain corn—every day. Use whole-grain bread for toast and sandwiches; substitute brown rice for white rice for home-cooked meals and when dining out.
📌Read food labels. Choose foods low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars.
📌Slow down at snack time. 📌📌Eating a bag of low-fat 📌📌📌popcorn takes longer than eating a slice of cake. 📌Peel and eat an orange instead of drinking orange juice.
📌Make physical activity part of your routine
📌Be active for 3
