Pharmacist warns against 5 common habits
The message was posted by via her official Instagram account identified as @says_stephanie.
She opened by stressing that individuals who wished to avoid kidney damage before the age of 40 needed to stop the habits immediately.
According to her, one of the practices involved taking medication without professional guidance.
She advised against using drugs for minor ailments unless a doctor had prescribed them, questioning why people resorted to self-medication.
Another concern she raised was insufficient water intake. She explained that chronic dehydration could cause the kidneys to hold onto toxins, and recommended drinking plain water instead of turning to chilled soft drinks or energy drinks.
The pharmacist also outlined the risks associated with consuming large amounts of highly processed foods.
She suggested that when hunger struck, people should choose healthier options and avoid items such as meat pies and puff-puff.
She added that snacks should be limited and that making time to prepare nourishing meals was important for internal health.
The lady remarked that many young people were already in hospital with kidney stones and awaiting transplants.
Another point concerned the habit of holding in urine. She stated that once the urge arose, it should be acted upon promptly by using the restroom.
She further encouraged regular body movement, clarifying that exercise did not require a gym visit.
The young pharmacist suggested playing a favourite song for a few minutes and using that time to dance or jump, describing it as sufficient physical activity.
