00:00Nine everyday choices that could lead to kidney problems.

00:04Number one, smoking and vaping.

00:08Tobacco chemicals reduce kidney blood flow and accelerate damage,

00:12while vaping additives also stress filtration and quitting rapidly lowers kidney disease risk.

00:18Number two, skipping water too often.

00:21Without enough water, kidneys can't flush toxins,

00:24leading to waste buildup, strain, and a higher risk of stones or damage.

00:30Number three, ignoring early infections.

00:34Untreated urinary infections can ascend to the kidneys,

00:37scarring tissues, and causing permanent damage,

00:39but prompt treatment prevents serious harm.

00:43Number four, overdoing protein supplements.

00:46Excessive protein supplements create waste that overburdens kidneys,

00:50especially when dehydrated,

00:52and balancing intake with proper hydration helps prevent long-term kidney strain.

00:57Number five, eating too much fast food.

01:00High sodium, fatty fast food raises blood pressure and stresses the kidneys,

01:05and habitual consumption overburdens filtration,

01:08while cooking fresh meals helps protect kidney health.

01:12Number six, not sleeping enough.

01:16Chronic sleep deprivation disrupts hormones essential for kidney repair,

01:20raising disease risk,

01:21while consistent quality sleep supports healthy kidney function.

01:24Number seven, drinking energy drinks regularly.

01:29Sugary, caffeinated energy drinks raise blood pressure,

01:33increase diabetes risk,

01:34and cause dehydration that stresses the kidneys,

01:37so it's better to choose water instead.

01:40Number eight, eating too much red meat.

01:43Excess red meat generates waste that taxes the kidneys and raises stone risk,

01:48while swapping some meals with plant proteins helps ease filtration strain.

01:53Number nine, overusing pain relievers.

01:57Frequent over-the-counter painkiller use reduces kidney blood flow

02:00and impairs filtration, especially when dehydrated,

02:03whereas occasional use causes less harm.
