Hello User, 

There are various reasons because of which vital organs like kidneys in our body get damaged. Uncontrolled high blood sugar levels and high blood pressure are the most common causes for kidney diseases. However, obesity, smoking, genetics, gender and age can also increase the risk.

  • Have blueberries. They are filled with nutrients and are one of the best antioxidants. 
  • Avoid sodium for which avoid say no to added salt and replace table salt with rock salt for cooking.
  • Drink coconut water daily.
  • Have almond milk.
