March is National Kidney Month and March 11 is World Kidney Day. You want your kidneys to last you a lifetime, don’t you? So show some love for your hard-working kidneys by adopting the National Kidney Foundation's 10-step program for protecting kidney health. Begin with monitoring blood pressure and controlling weight and then move on to the rest of their kidney-healthy tips:
  • Monitor blood pressure and cholesterol.
  • Control weight.
  • Don't overuse over-the-counter painkillers.
  • Monitor blood glucose.
  • Get an annual physical exam.
