High blood pressure is a leading cause of kidney damage. It can narrow, weaken, or harden the arteries around the kidneys, reducing blood flow to these vital organs. To manage blood pressure, incorporate foods rich in potassium and magnesium, such as bananas, avocados, spinach, and nuts, into your diet, as they help in vasodilation and blood pressure control. Regular physical activity, at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise such as brisk walking or cycling most days of the week, can also significantly reduce blood pressure and thus protect the kidneys.
