You may not be shaking salt over every meal, but if you’re loading up on chips, packaged soups, instant noodles, or takeout, you’re probably consuming way more sodium than your kidneys can handle. High salt intake raises blood pressure, and uncontrolled high BP is one of the biggest culprits behind chronic kidney disease (CKD). Swelling in ankles, hands, or face, persistent headaches and high blood pressure readings are the early signs you must pay attention to. Limit sodium to less than 2,300 mg per day (about one teaspoon). Ditch the processed stuff and flavor your meals with herbs, lemon juice, or even garlic instead.
