This will help you reduce body weight, reduce blood pressure, prevent diabetes, heart disease and other kidney disease conditions. Reduce salt intake. The recommended amount of sodium is 5-6 grams of salt per day. Salt  you need in your diet is about a teaspoon. So you must try to limit the amount of salt you eat. And also avoid processed foods and restaurants. If you prepare your meal with fresh ingredients it will be easier to control the amount of salt.

Blood Sugar Testing and Monitoring

Half of people with diabetes are unaware that they have diabetes. Therefore, as part of a general body examination you need to check your blood sugar level. This is especially important for people who are middle-aged or older. Half of people with diabetes suffer from kidney damage. But if diabetes is overcome, it can be prevented or alleviated. Regularly check your kidney function through blood and urine tests.

Half of people with hypertension do not know that they have hypertension. Therefore, as part of your general body inspection, you need to check your blood pressure. This is especially important for people who are middle-aged or older. Hypertension can damage the kidneys. This is especially true when it is linked to other factors such as diabetes, high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease. Good blood pressure control can reduce risks. Normal adult blood pressure level is 120/80. Hypertension is diagnosed if systolic blood pressure readings are measured on different days with different 140 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure readings on both days at alum 90 mm Hg (WHO).
If your blood pressure is steadily increasing (especially if you are young), you should consult your doctor to discuss the risks and lifestyle modifications and the need for medication treatment.
The American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology reviewed guidelines for high blood pressure (2017) and suggested that the treatment of early hypertension be 140/90 mm with lifestyle changes and medications. Should be done at 140/90 mm Hg instead of Hg. However, not all health organizations around the world have adopted this recommendation. It's best to consult your doctor.

Get the Right Quantity of Liquid

The exact level of fluid intake for an individual depends on a number of factors including exercise, climate, health conditions, pregnancy and breastfeeding. This usually means 8 cups, about 2 liters (quarters) a day for a healthy person in a comfortable climate. When in severe weather it needs to be adjusted. If you have kidney, heart, or liver disease, you may need to adjust your fluid intake. Consult your doctor about appropriate drinking fluids for your condition.

Never Smoke

Smoking slows down blood flow to the kidneys. When low blood reaches the kidneys, it can generally reduce their ability to function. Smoking also increases the risk of kidney cancer by up to 50%.
