1. Not Drinking Enough Water
Insufficient water intake is one of the main factors that can harm the kidneys over time. When we do not drink enough water, blood flow to the kidneys decreases, reducing their ability to remove toxins from the body.
A common question is: “Doctor, how much water should I drink?”
The answer is simple: drink enough water to stay hydrated and satisfy your thirst.
2. Holding Urine for Too Long
Keeping the bladder full for long periods can lead to complications in the urinary system. Repeatedly delaying urination may increase the risk of infections and kidney problems.
