Regular physical activity, managing blood sugar levels and monitoring blood pressure can help lower your risk of chronic kidney disease and prevent kidney damage.

A balanced diet low in sodium and processed foods, staying hydrated with 1.5 to 2 litres of water daily, and avoiding smoking will support healthy kidney function.
