Maintaining a Healthy Lifestyle

How do you live a higher quality of life?

There is a direct correlation between healthy living and quality of life. Your body is the machine that keeps you going, and your kidneys are two of its central components. A little preventative maintenance will help your body run like a well-oiled machine.

We recommend these 10 preventative maintenance steps:

• Control your blood pressure
• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables
• Lower your sodium intake
• Drink plenty of water
• Cut out the sugary drinks
• Maintain a healthy weight
• Stay fit; 30 minutes of physical activity a day
• Limit your alcohol consumption
• Limit or stop smoking
• Reduce stress levels
