Our kidneys are designed such that their filtration capacity naturally declines after the age of 30-40 years. With every decade after your 30s, your kidney function is going to reduce by 10%. But, if you’re going to increase the load on your kidneys right from the beginning, your risk of developing kidney disease later in life will definitely be higher.

To be on the safe side, follow these few tips and take good care of your kidneys to prevent the risk of developing kidney problems.

1.Manage diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease
