A BUN of 6 is low normal, and would not indicate any kidney disorder.

Yes, it is good. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Causes of a low BUN include malnutrition with inadequate protein intake, overhydration & liver disease. These don't apply to you,however as the normal range goes to as low as 6.
