Stay Away From Soda

Unlike some fruit drinks, soda provides absolutely no nutrients to your body other than sugar. Did you know that in a 12-ounce soda, there is just as much sugar as you’d consume by eating three-and-a-half donuts? Research has proven that drinking two or more sodas per day will double your risk of getting kidney disease. Sugar isn’t the only bad guy here, though. Due to the high amount of phosphoric acid in soda, this also increases your risk for kidney problems.

Get Enough Sleep

Researchers from the University of Chicago proved that poor sleep habits lead to an increased risk of kidney disease. People who slept for six-and-a-half hours per day showed a 19 percent increase in their chances of kidney failure from those who got a full-night’s sleep. When you stay up too late, your kidneys also stay up late. Over time, lack of sleep can exaust your kidneys and lead to failure.
