The video described the top 10 things that can cause damage to kidneys and potentially cause kidney failure. The 10 items on the list primary deal with food and drink. One item had to do with holding urine, but the rest were about what we should and should not be eating drinking and using as medicine. Most of the things on the list seemed to be pretty much common sense and using the rule of everything in moderation should keep you from getting kidney damage.

Key Takeaways:
- Kidneys protect our body against waste accumulation in our bodies. They filter our urine and other fluids.
- There are many common habits that put stress on the kidneys including excess alcohol, dehydration, excess sugar/salt/vitamins, and sleep deprivation.
- Kidneys should be taken care of as they regulate our blood pressure and electrolytes. There are few warning signs of kidney damage.
“Holding in urine often increases pressure which might cause kidney failure and kidney stones.”
