IMPORTANT
KIDNEY DESERVES THE BEST
Barely two (2) days ago, we all received the
news of the demise of
the Nigerian actor as a result of kidney disease.
ALSO OUR MINISTER OF PUBLIC WORKS, the
Honorable Teko Lake is currently in the Hospital
on life support with Kidney problems. I want to
show you how to avert this menace of kidney
disease. SO HERE ARE THE TOP 6 CAUSE OF
KIDNEY DISEASE:

1. Delaying going to a toilet Keeping your urine in
   your bladder for
   too long is a bad idea. A full bladder can cause
   bladder damage.
   The urine that stays in the bladder multiplies
   bacteria quickly.
   Once the urine refluxes back to the ureter and
   kidneys, the toxic
   substances can result in kidney infections, then
   urinary tract
   infections, and then nephritis, and even uremia.
   When nature calls
   – do it as soon as possible.
2. Eating too much salt,You should eat no more
   than 5.8 grams of
   salt daily.
3. Eating too much meat. Too much protein in
   your diet is harmful
   for your kidneys. Protein digestion produces
   ammonia – a toxin
   that is very destructive to your kidneys. More
   meat equals more
   kidney damage.
4. Drinking too much caffeine Caffeine is a
   component of many
   sodas and soft drinks. It raises your blood
   pressure and your
   kidneys start suffering. So you should cut down
   the amount of
   coke you drink daily.
5. Not drinking water. Our kidneys should be
   hydrated properly to
   perform their functions well. If we don’t drink
   enough, the toxins
   can start accumulating in the blood, as there
   isn’t enough fluid to
   drain them through the kidneys. Drink more than
   10 glasses of
   water daily. There is an easy way to check if you
   are drinking
   enough water: look at the colour of your urine;
   the lighter the
   colour, the better.
6. Late treatment . Treat all your health problems
   properly and
   have your health checked regularly. Let's help
   ourselves...God will
   protect you and your family from every disease
   this year.

  Important Health Tips:
  Answer phone calls with the left ear.
  Don't take your medicine with cold water....
  Don't eat heavy meals after 5pm.
  Drink more water in the morning, less at night.
  Best sleeping time is from 10pm to 4 am.
  Don’t lie down immediately taking medicine or
  after meals.
  When phone's battery is low to last bar, don't
  answer the
  phone, bcos the radiation is 1000 times stronger.
