Hydration: Key Tips to Support Kidney Health and Function

Your kidneys need water to work well, especially in the hot summer.

Drinking enough water helps them remove waste.

You can tell if you're drinking enough by your urine color—it should be light.

Besides drinking water, you can eat fruits and vegetables like watermelon.

Drink water before meals to stay hydrated, but be careful with drinks like coffee and alcohol because they can make you lose water.

Avoid drinking too much water, as it can also cause problems like swelling.
