Intense physical exercise
While exercise is important for overall health, it is vital to keep a balance and avoid excessively intense physical exercise. Excessive exercise can cause this protein to increase in the kidneys, causing damage and, in some cases, kidney failure.
Soft drinks
Sodas and energy drinks are often packed with high amounts of sugar, which can raise the risk of developing kidney stones. Even diet sodas, which consists of artificial sweeteners, have been linked to impaired kidney function.
Caffeine
Excessive caffeine consumption can overload the kidneys, as they have to work harder to filter it from the system. Caffeine also has a diuretic effect, then it requires more water to be eliminated by the kidneys, which can cause dehydration.
Hold urine
The consequences of holding urine go beyond the usual discomfort. Holding urine for too long can cause inflammation, increase the risk of urinary tract infections, and potentially cause kidney damage.
