Kidney disease: Diabetes and high blood pressure account for two thirds of all cases of chronic kidney disease. Kidney disease prevention includes maintaining a healthy weight, don't smoke, eat a diet low in fat and salt, exercise on most days, limit alcohol, and have regular check ups with your doctor.

Definitely: High blood pressure is a leading contributor to kidney damage and end stage renal disease (kidney failure) resulting in need for dialysis. Maintaining a healthy blood pressure and regular exercise reduces the risk of kidney disease, stroke, and heart disease; and increases the number of healthy years of life. Seek medical guidance for starting exercise program.
