3. Stay physically active - Exercising every day is not only beneficial for the heart or lungs but even the kidneys too.

You can even start with walking and slowly move to swimming, cycling, running, aerobics, Yoga or even Pilates. It is essential to exercise for at least 30 minutes every day. (Unsplash) expand-icon View Photos in a new improved layout
