In this guide, you’ll learn how to keep kidneys healthy, which foods to eat or avoid, and how Apollo Hospitals and Bangla Health Connect support patients like you with expert kidney care.

Hydration & Exercise for Healthy Kidneys
Why Staying Hydrated Helps Your Kidneys
Water is your kidney’s best friend. It helps flush out waste, prevents stones, and keeps your body’s chemical balance right.
Not drinking enough—especially in hot and humid weather—can lead to dehydration and kidney problems.
Quick hydration tips:
- Drink at least 8–10 glasses of water every day
- Limit sugary or fizzy drinks
- Look out for signs like dark urine, dry skin, or fatigue
- Try coconut water (plain, no sugar) for a natural refresh
Best Exercises to Support Kidney Health
Physical activity helps manage blood pressure and blood sugar—two major risks for kidney damage. Exercises should be performed under the guidance of a qualified professional to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Try this weekly routine:
- Walk 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week
- Add gentle yoga or stretching for better blood flow
- Try cycling or swimming for low-impact fitness
- Avoid excessive lifting or intense workouts unless advised
