Located on either side of the spine, just below the ribs, the kidneys filter blood, remove waste, and balance fluids in the body. Despite being only about the size of a fist, a healthy kidney can filter half a cup of blood every minute. Without functioning kidneys, life would not be possible, making it essential to care for and appreciate these hardworking organs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>National Kidney Month is also an opportunity to raise awareness about kidney-related health issues, such as chronic kidney disease (CKD). In the U.S., CKD affects approximately 15% of adults\u2014about 37 million people\u2014yet 9 out of 10 individuals with the condition are unaware they have it. This month is the perfect time to educate others about kidney health and encourage early detection and prevention. Here are some meaningful ways to show your support:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-wear-accessories-that-spark-conversations-about-kidney-health\"><strong>1. Wear Accessories That Spark Conversations About Kidney Health<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One simple way to raise awareness is by wearing items that promote kidney health, such as T-shirts, hats, bracelets, or socks featuring National Kidney Month themes. These accessories can serve as conversation starters, helping to spread awareness about kidney diseases, research, and the importance of early detection. If you\u2019re entrepreneurial, consider selling these items and donating the proceeds to kidney-related charities or research organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-learn-the-symptoms-of-common-kidney-issues\"><strong>2.

Simple lifestyle changes, such as staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet low in sodium, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking, can significantly improve kidney health.
