💙 TUESDAY HEALTH TIP: Know Your Kidneys!

Your kidneys work hard every day to filter waste, balance fluids, and help regulate blood pressure. But Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) can develop gradually, sometimes without noticeable symptoms in its early stages.

🩺 Who may be at higher risk?
• People living with diabetes
• People with high blood pressure
• Individuals with heart disease
• Those with a family history of kidney disease

💧 5 Ways to Support Kidney Health:
✅ Keep your blood pressure under control.
✅ Manage your blood sugar if you have diabetes.
✅ Stay hydrated according to your healthcare provider’s advice.
✅ Limit excess sodium in your diet.
✅ Ask your provider before regularly using pain relievers such as ibuprofen or naproxen.

🔎 Don't wait for symptoms! If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or other risk factors, ask your healthcare provider whether kidney function blood tests and a urine albumin test are appropriate for you.

Small steps today can help protect your kidneys tomorrow!
