[00:02:39]Hi, you're welcome to this live.

[00:02:45]I'm Nurse Evelyn, a new Ghanaian YouTuber from Ghana. As I said, you are really really welcome once again.

[00:03:04]Okay, let's quick start.

[00:03:08]We are about to learn about he said that stop killing your kidneys without knowing.

[00:03:23]Some people are killing their kidneys and they don't know. Please you all welcome to my life.

[00:03:31]God richly bless you for joining this tonight. The topic that I'm about to discuss is stop killing your kidneys without knowing.

[00:03:45]Yeah, it's interesting topic and by the end of today's lesson, you will learn more about it because kidney problem is getting out of hand.

[00:04:00]Kidney problem is getting out of hand.

[00:04:06]is too much.

[00:04:08]So time is gone. It's 5:44 Ghana time.

[00:04:13]So let's keep starting.

[00:04:16]Do you know that someone in your house may be killing or may be slowly losing their kidney right now and they don't even know.

[00:04:29]Maybe you are staying with someone or you people are living in a compound house and the person is slowly losing his or her kidney but don't know that he or she is slowly losing the kidneys.

[00:04:56]Okay, let's go. I'm having a story.

[00:05:00]Since I'm a village nurse, I've experienced many many stories and I want to share you one story right now.

[00:05:09]Last year I was having I met a man in my community.

[00:05:17]He was hardworking, very strong, never sick.

[00:05:22]He wasn't sick. The man wasn't sick.

[00:05:28]Since I'm a nurse, I I quite the the man got sick I think last four years and from there the man was strong.

[00:05:39]The man wasn't sick. The man was strong man.

[00:05:46]So but he was used to painkillers.

[00:05:50]Please note this down. He was used to painkillers, taking in painkillers and drinking herbal mischief.

[00:06:01]I don't know whether when he gets sick, he will be a home doctor or a home nurse and he will take medicine not prescribed by the doctor but he will take it. That's the painkillers and the herbal mischief.

[00:06:19]Then do you know the sad thing that really happened?

[00:06:23]And one day his legs started to swell.

[00:06:29]His legs started to swell and he started h he thought it wasn't anything or he thought that he was just tired because he normally used to go to farm and he thought that he was just tired. So he didn't touch bad thing about it. He was he referred it or he assumed it as tiredness.

[00:06:58]So by the time he was at the hospital the kidneys had already failed.

[00:07:07]By the time he get to the hospital the kidneys has already failed.

[00:07:14]And it's a sad issue.

[00:07:20]It's really really sad issue.

[00:07:23]So if you you will get sick, don't be a home doctor or a home nurse to prescribe medicine for yourself. No, never do that. Don't sit at home and prescribe medicine for yourself. No, it's not good.

[00:07:41]You have to go to the nearest hospital so that they will do labs and then know what is wrong with you actually wrong with you and then they will prescribe the right medication for you. But you don't have to sit at home and prescribe medicine for yourself. No, it's never good.

[00:08:02]It's not good. It's not not not.

[00:08:06]Maybe you have just joined my life. I'm Nurse Evelyn, a Ghanaian village YouTuber and a village nurse as well. I open this channel for village cooking and village experience and also share health education as well. So if you have joined, I was sharing an important message. This is real story that happened to a friend of mine in the village that person because I started that the man was healthy, hardworking, always going to farm and he didn't think bad about anything.

[00:08:50]So he was used to taking painkillers and hair mischief. So one day the legs got swollen and he thought that it was normal thing. He thought that it was tiredness.

[00:09:06]So he didn't bother to go to hospital it was tired because always in farm so it was tiredness but not knowing that the kidneys has failed.

[00:09:20]So one day they rush him to the hospital and they later recognize that the man's kidney has failed and he just passed on like that.

[00:09:32]He just passed on like that.

[00:09:37]Yeah, he just passed on.

[00:09:43]So this evening I just want to alert you about the warning signs of the kidney problem or kidney failure.

[00:09:58]I just want to alert you or tell you about the warning signs that maybe if I'm at home and I'm having um kidney problem what and what will I take or measures that or what I will see the warning sign I will see on myself that no I have to visit the hospital for further medical treatment. What and what that you experience? Number one, number one is swelling of the legs and the or face.

[00:10:32]If you experience that when maybe when you wake up from your sleep and you experience that you're having swollen legs or face, you have to be fast and go to the hospital. for further medical checkup or examination.

[00:10:56]That's the number one warning sign. If you are there and you are having this thing that the number one warning sign is that swollen legs and the face when you wake up and you you have be or it's not wake up maybe three two or one month now you have been experienced swollen face and swollen legs you have to rush into the hospital to see what is going on.

[00:12:11]You have to rush to the hospital for further labs to confirm whether it's kidney or not.

[00:18:18]Yeah, you have to go to hospital so that it will not be late for you.

[00:18:23]So these are the warning signs that kidney is failing. When kidney is failing, it will alert you.

[00:18:31]Yeah.

[00:18:33]So someone will say that what are the causes of kidney probing? What are the causes? Because me I'm at home. I don't know the causes. So you you can tell me.

[00:18:43]Yeah. I don't know the causes of kidney problem.

[00:18:47]Mind dear.

[00:18:51]Some people are used to painless. The number one. Some people are used to taking painkillers.

[00:18:59]Some people have turned into doctors, nurses at home.

[00:19:04]So when they feel maybe small pain they will rush and take painkiller.

[00:19:14]You don't know whether your BP has rise and you're having some mild headache.

[00:19:18]You don't know and you take painkiller.

[00:19:26]So please and please when you are having some a headache anything don't take pain don't prescribe medicine for yourself or prescribe drug for yourself to go to hospital and let them examine you and know what is actually wrong with your body and they will prescribe the right medication for you.

[00:19:53]They'll prescribe the right medication for you. Don't turn into doctors, nurses at home and take medicine. No, your kidney will destroy your kidney to spoil your kidney and it can lead to kidney failure.

[00:20:11]And some people they take unregulated herbal mistresses.

[00:20:16]The mischief they are not.

[00:20:21]Oh god.

[00:20:24]They haven't prescribed any mixture for them but when they are sick they will go and buy it and take it by themsel unregulated her mistresses for yourself and you don't know what will cause it can lead to kidney failure. Yeah, it can lead to kidney failure. That's the all regulated amishure that you take. It can destroy your kidney and your kidney can fail as well as the painkillers.

[00:20:56]It can destroy it. So please let us be careful and vigilant about it. Anything that we take it inside our mouth.

[00:21:04]And number three is the high blood pressure.

[00:21:11]Many people don't like checking their blood pressure.

[00:21:15]The blood pressure. Many people don't like it like checking their blood pressure. But it's very important. You have to check your blood pressure. Maybe once a week cry. It's okay.

[00:21:29]But some people are adamant to wait maybe for the past 3 months they haven't checked their blood pressure.

[00:21:40]Please and please I'm begging you. You have to check your blood pressure.

[00:21:45]Yeah, you have to check it.

[00:21:47]Whether you are having high blood pressure or low, you not recognize it since you are not used to checking it.

[00:21:55]So you not recognize it.

[00:21:59]No, you not recognize it that you are having high blood pressure. No.

[00:22:07]So let me tell you that high blood pressure can also lead to kidney failure.

[00:22:13]So you have to check it. Some people say that oh madam h I fear I fear when I go to the hospital and they check it I I I fear. Wow your own body.

[00:22:28]But when you you fail to do so and the consequences come you face it.

[00:22:36]So you rather stop saying that madam I fear I fear I fear and go to and check it in the pharmacy you can get the BP machine if you can afford it if not when you go to the pharmacy they can check for you not necessarily go to the hospital no you can check it and write it so that next time that you visit or even the pharmacy people will explain it to you and you can ask them question that what is the normal range for high blood pressure and the normal pressure they will explain it further to you for you to know the exact range that maybe if I I don't know anything or I'm illiterate and I go and they check it they will explain it further to you ask questions it's about your body so you have to ask questions more questions about it so that they will teach you they will teach you e Don't sit there and just ignore something that maybe when you ask someone have you checked your blood pressure the the person will say that oh no maybe for madam maybe for the past 3 months I haven't checked wow don't you know that maybe if you're having high blood pressure it can lead to kidney failure don't you know don't you know we should be serious with our health.

[00:24:03]We should be serious with our health.

[00:24:08]We should be serious with our health.

[00:24:13]We should be very very serious with our health.

[00:24:17]Yeah.

[00:24:18]So, high blood pressure can contribute to kidney failure. And the next one is the diabetes.

[00:24:25]Me and you, we fall a victim about it. We eat late in the night if you want to get diabetes. Some people maybe they will eat fufu around 6 but you don't know that fufu will take 8 hours to digest. So after eating then you go and sleep and it store as sugar in your body because no exercise has been done and it will store as sugar in your body.

[00:24:57]So doing all these things you have to eat early but if if you are late is late maybe six you can take in fruit or water to replace it so that you cannot lead to diabetes.

[00:25:13]Diabetes also contribute to kidney failure. Let me tell you diabetes it also contribute to kidney failure as well.

[00:25:23]Kidney failure. diabetes happened. I had blood pressure. It all contributes to kidney failure. So this evening I want to alert you all. Me also I'm learning as you also as we are learning we are learning that diabetes contribute to kidney failure and high blood pressure also contribute to kidney failure as well. So we must stay conscious. You can if even if you can afford the glucometer, you can you can get it and put it at home. Maybe the LBS or the FBS fasting blood sugar. You can check it before you eat every morning. You can check it maybe for one week and you see the range that you fall in.

[00:26:12]You see the range that you fall in.

[00:26:15]Yeah. If you cannot afford it, you can go to pharmacy or hospital and check it and you you be aware of it that I'm at this range. I'm at this range.

[00:26:30]Yeah. You you you can afford it or if you can't you can go to the pharmacy or hospital for checkup and you check it and see whether you are a diabetic patient or not or you are about to be.

[00:26:44]Then you be careful about what you eat.

[00:26:47]Especially in the evening.

[00:26:49]In the evening, we eat late.

[00:26:54]We eat late.

[00:26:58]We eat late. In the evening, if you want to eat just taking um fruits or water, it's okay.

[00:27:07]But some people will take it late and after that they will sleep. No exercise.

[00:27:16]No exercise.

[00:27:18]They will sleep. It's not good though.

[00:27:21]After eating, you have to do exercise.

[00:27:23]Walk around so that it will help you. It will digest. So that it will not store in your body. The food that you have eaten, it will not store in your body as sugar. No glucose. No, it will not store in your body.

[00:27:39]that diabetic diabetes and the high blood pressure it all contributes to kidney failure it all contributes. So let's have be rest assured our health is our concern please our health is really really concern because kidney if you have kidney problem and even the diialysis is not easy the amount of money that you you have to pay it's not easy so you have to be careful kidney is killing people we all have to be careful and some people I asked someone that a day.

[00:28:20]How many water of shattered shattered does he she consume? And she said that madame is two. Uh-oh.

[00:28:30]It's two ses of water that you consume.

[00:28:32]No, not drinking enough water or not drinking enough clean water can lead to kidney failure. Some people said, "No me, I don't like water. I don't like taking water. But you like taking drink. Drinks that you like taking it. You don't like fruits. You don't like water. But drinks, soft drinks, you prefer it. No, we are killing ourself.

[00:29:00]We are really really killing ourself.

[00:29:02]You have to take more water.

[00:29:05]You have to take more water. If you're having a set of water at least six a day, you have to consume it. Or seven, you have to consume it.

[00:29:15]A bottle of water.

[00:29:19]A bottle of water. Also, you can also consume maybe four bottles. Yeah, it's it's okay. It's okay. Or five. But four, it's okay. Take it as if you are taking in your drink and your kidney will have strength.

[00:29:36]It will not fail. You'll be strong.

[00:29:40]You'll be healthy. Your kidney will not fail. You have to take enough water.

[00:29:46]Yeah, taking enough water is important over here. You have to take enough water.

[00:29:56]Water is life and it help the kidney to survive. Water is life. Water is really really life. So you have to take enough water so that you'll be fine. You'll be healthy.

[00:30:13]Your kidneys will be strong.

[00:30:16]Yeah.

[00:30:21]And let me tell you, some people after they are finished cooking the food, maybe if it's porridge, they will not add the sugar in the porridge on the fire. They will set aside and put the sugar outside the the sin. When the food is ready, it's on the table, they will add sugar.

[00:30:44]No, it will lead to kidney stones.

[00:30:46]Kidney stones.

[00:30:49]So when the food is on fire, just add whatever that you want to add. Maybe sugar or salt. You have to add it on the fire so that it will melt. Everything will be okay.

[00:31:00]Yeah. Everything will be very very okay for you.

[00:31:05]Our kidney, we need to save our kidneys.

[00:31:09]If you enjoy this message, just give this video a massive thumbs up and subscribe to my channel for more important messages.

[00:31:18]Save your kidney because the diialysis isn't easy. I'm having friends who have passed on with kidney problems and I'm having another friend who is facing kidney failure and is pleading to get money for kidney transplants. It's very sad.

[00:31:38]is very very sad. So we have to be careful with our kidneys.

[00:31:43]We have to be careful with our kidneys.

[00:31:47]First of all I said that too much of painkillers painkiller use some people if they having headache maybe hand is pain them fast they will quickly go and take painkiller.

[00:32:01]Don't you know that you are destroying your kidney? You don't know painkillers.

[00:32:06]painkillers that hasn't been prescribed by the doctor. Painkillers, taking painkillers, it will destroy your kidney for you.

[00:32:18]Taking painkillers and also her mixture that's all regulated. It's not being regulated for you.

[00:32:29]You you feel that you are sick and you rush to the pharmacy and taking you go and buy it. Oh miss then you take it unregulated.

[00:32:40]Hey my mom, my father, my grandpa, my sisters, my brothers, you are destroying your kidneys.

[00:32:50]You are really really destroying your kidneys.

[00:32:54]Let's save our kidney.

[00:32:57]Let's save our kidney.

[00:33:00]And we see this simple simple things like checking the BP the blood pressure the glucometer checking our glucose level we ignore it. Some people if you ask them that have you check your blood pressure they said oh I'm afraid I'm afraid I will not check my blood pressure I'm afraid.

[00:33:22]Oh goda you are afraid. But you are not afraid of taking soft drinks. You are not afraid. You have to check your blood pressure. Maybe once a week. It's okay.

[00:33:35]Once a week will even help you. Once a week it will even help you.

[00:33:42]If you can afford the BP machine, you can buy it and every day you have to check it maybe morning and evening. Then you compare it.

[00:33:55]You compare it that maybe oh my blood pressure or even if you don't know you can ask oh what is the normal range for the blood pressure what the abnormal range what's the low pressure the ranges we have ranges over there and you'll be taught about it you'll be thought about it and you know many people don't check the blood pressure deal they don't check it the blood pressure, they don't check it.

[00:34:27]And it's is is contributing to the kidney failure nowadays.

[00:34:33]It's really contributing to the kidney failure that we are having.

[00:34:38]Yeah, it really contributes to it. And also not drinking enough clean water.

[00:34:48]Some people will not take water. Hey, like if they will take water, they will they replace it with soft drink.

[00:34:58]You know that you can afford the soft drink. But have you calculated or observed the consequences that it will lead to?

[00:35:09]Let's take more water. Let's take more water and it will help us.

[00:35:14]Let's take more water. Enough water. I know it to help us to make our kidneys strong and the diabetes also is 6:15 Ghana time and maybe right now some someone is taking fufu. How can it digest? The person will go and sleep also and it will not digest.

[00:35:36]The person will not move around for the fufu to digest. No.

[00:35:42]No.

[00:35:45]The person will not do small small exercise for it to digest but the person will go and sleep and it will store as glucose in the body.

[00:35:54]It will store as glucose in the body.

[00:35:59]It will store as glucose in the body and it will lead to kidney failure.

[00:36:06]It will lead to kidney failure. Yeah, it will lead it will lead to kidney failure. So right now let's come to the prevention of kidney failure. I hope that people would eager to listen the prevention of kidney failure. The number one is drink enough water every day.

[00:36:27]You have to drink enough water every day.

[00:36:32]So now dear let's make a plan. Just put the soft drink aside and let's take enough water every day and you will see the changes in your body.

[00:36:45]Do it for one week and you will see changes in your body.

[00:36:50]You will see changes in your body.

[00:36:54]Let's do it. Let's plan ahead for maybe for the past one month now from today going let's do it. Let's take enough water and you see how your body will be even refreshed like that.

[00:37:10]Yeah.

[00:37:12]And your kidneys will be strong.

[00:37:15]Yeah.

[00:37:18]And then number two also we have to reduce our salt intake.

[00:37:23]Hey, some people they will add too much salt in their food.

[00:37:34]When you ask them, they say that no taste to the taste there. The taste is not. So let me add enough salt into my my food.

[00:37:44]You are destroying your kidney. Adding too much salt in your food, you are destroying your kidney. So you have to reduce it not to stop. Reduce the intake of salt in your food. You have to reduce it. Not too high, not too small. It should be middle. You have to reduce it.

[00:38:10]Reduce it and it will help you.

[00:38:16]And the next one also as I was saying the blood pressure. Some people don't like going to check up at all at all at all. So you have to go to check up at least once every 3 months. Okay. But as I'm here educating at least maybe 1 month you have to check. We have we having pharmacy all over the world or drugstore some people are having BP apparatus now there money money is hard to get. So we don't have the apparatus, you can go to the nearest drug store.

[00:38:52]You can ask and you can check if it's closer to you. You can check it maybe every week. We can go and check it every week and tell them to explain it to you the normal blood pressure, the abnormal or the low pressure or the high pressure. They will tell you, they will educate you about it that this is the range, this is the range, this is the range. They will educate you.

[00:40:24]Okay. Now I should add that palpitation is a sign that the heart is under.

[00:40:33]Okay. Okay. Under pressure. Okay. So added this important information that palpitation is a sign that the heart is under pressure. It's true.

[00:40:48]It's true. Some people will ignore it too. Some people will ignore it.

[00:41:03]I don't Some people don't care. They don't know what is wrong with them.

[00:41:08]Since they will ask you, they when you ask them, are you sick? The person will say that no, I'm not sick.

[00:41:31]So please, the blood pressure is very important. You have to check it.

[00:41:36]You have to check it maybe once a month to cry. It's okay. But ignore it is not good. Okay. And the next one also is avoid unnecessary painkillers.

[00:41:52]painkillers.

[00:41:54]Hey, some people can take painkiller.

[00:42:00]We have to ignore that too. It will lead to kidney failure.

[00:42:06]Some people they prefer taking painkillers.

[00:42:12]We have to ignore that too. We have to stop that and go to hospital.

[00:42:21]To stop that and go to the hospital for further examination for further examination so that they know what is happening. Maybe if your blood pressure is high it can lead to headache.

[00:42:37]If I started education I will just move.

[00:42:41]I'm having more more topics to bring along.

[00:42:46]If you having your the blood pressure inside is high, you can't experience headache. But if someone is having headache, oh let me go and buy pink. Let me go and no.

[00:42:56]So you have to avoid that unnecessary pinkless doctors and nurses at home. You have to avoid it.

[00:43:05]Please and please so that we will stay healthy and I'll keep M will be strong. Yeah.

[00:43:15]And what's that? After the painkillers, I said something about the herba medicine. We have to be careful with the herba medicine.

[00:43:25]Hey, some people when her drugs come to information center, they will rush.

[00:43:30]Every herbal medicine, they will rush and go and buy it. We have to be careful.

[00:43:35]We have to be careful.

[00:43:39]We have to be careful about the hair medicine.

[00:43:43]We have to very very careful about the hair medicine. We have to be careful.

[00:43:51]We have to be very very careful. Yeah.

[00:43:55]You have to be very careful about what medicine that we take. You have to be careful. Yeah, because all of these lead to kidney failure. Yeah. And the last one about the prevention.

[00:44:15]You have to control our diabetes early.

[00:44:22]We have to control our diabetes early.

[00:44:26]Some people don't know that they are diabetic or not. They don't know anything because they have not been going to hospital. They think that they are okay. They are healthy.

[00:44:39]They are healthy. They don't go to hospital. No, they think they are strong.

[00:44:46]But we have to check the BP, the glucose.

[00:44:51]Yeah.

[00:44:54]Because if you don't identify that you are diabetic, if you don't identify it, it can lead to many many problem.

[00:45:03]So you have to identify by checking the glucose once a week or twice a week.

[00:45:10]It's okay. If you're having a drug over there that the person having glucometer or even um pharmacy and the person is having glucometer, you can go and check it.

[00:45:21]Yeah, you can go and check it.

[00:45:25]You can go and check it. It's very very important. Can go and check it over there. So that it cannot lead to kidney failure one. No.

[00:45:35]When you eat, you have to do exercise so that it will digest well. Yeah. You have to do enough exercise so that it will digest well.

[00:45:48]It's very important too.

[00:45:51]It's very very important to our health.

[00:45:53]It's important. Yeah. It's very important to our health.

[00:46:01]Simple simple things that we ignore it leads to kidney failure.

[00:46:08]And as I mentioned, some said, "Oh, it's very simple. It's around us."

[00:46:15]Yeah, it's very simple as well. But we at times ignore it and it will lead to problem for us.

[00:46:27]We ignore it and it will lead to many problem for us.

[00:46:33]And let me alert you that kidney failure it doesn't start at the hospital. No, it starts at home. As we all know, me and you, we know that it starts at home.

[00:46:48]That's the painkillers, the her mixtures, not checking the BP, the blood pressure, uh, diabet diabetic like that's the glucose, we not checking it, taking enough salt. It start at home.

[00:47:09]It start at home.

[00:47:14]So tonight I'm here to say that the small thing that you do will either save your kidney or destroy your kidney.

[00:47:24]The small thing that you does, it can either save your kidney or destroy your kidney.

[00:47:33]The small thing that you do, it will either save your kidney or destroy your kidney. So let us be careful.

[00:47:43]Let us be very very careful with our lifestyle.

[00:47:49]We have to ensure healthy living so that we live longer.

[00:47:56]You have to ensure healthy living so that we will live longer on earth.

[00:48:07]I'm much particularly about the prevention. I'm much particular or interested with the prevention because someone just join and hear about the kidney failure, kidney failure. The person will say that how can I prevent it from not getting it. As I already said, drink enough water.

[00:48:30]Replace water with soft drinks. You have to drink enough water. You have to check your blood pressure at least 3 months.

[00:48:38]Every 3 months at least.

[00:48:42]At least that means that you can even check it once a week. Cry is okay. Once a week checking your blood pressure, you can go to the nearest drug store or pharmacy and they will check it for you so that you will identify the problem fast and treat it.

[00:49:02]Treat it. Yeah, we have the primary, the secondary and the tertiary prevention. When you stay at home and it's with tertiary prevention, then it means that you are doomed.

[00:49:19]It means that you are very very doomed.

[00:49:23]So we don't want any bad issue to happen. No. So we have to start checking our blood pressure. Reduce salt intake.

[00:49:33]Reduce salt intake and unnecessary painkillers must also be avoided.

[00:49:47]And also the herb mistress, the herba medicine, we have to be careful about it.

[00:49:54]We have to be very very careful about the herba medicine.

[00:49:59]And also we should control our diabetes early since me and you we are not checking our glucose. How may we know or how will we know that we are having diabetes? That's the issue. That's the issue at hand we are not checking. So how will you know that we are having diabetes and we will control Italy?

[00:50:25]So from now we have to check it. I don't know where you are watching me from. You can chat it below where you are watching me from. Dr are available and pharmacy also available. So you have to check if you having money. Now the money nowadays there is not easy to get but if you having money to afford the gluccom and the BP machine, I'll be okay. If you are not having like me, you can go to the nearest drug store and pharmacy and get it and check it and check your BP so that you know it's early.

[00:51:03]Some people don't know that the kidney failure the BP and the glucose lead to that that one they don't know what people know that taking too much salt not drinking enough water painklet and herbal medicine they know but as for the diabetes and the high blood pressure they don't know that it contribute no they don't know they don't know so let's help each together.

[00:51:34]Let's help ourself.

[00:51:37]Let's build one family. Let's build one family. Let's help ourself by checking the BP once a week. Cry is okay. The glucose also even if it's once a week or twice a week, it will be okay.

[00:51:51]It will be very very okay.

[00:51:54]so that you know that you are about to get kidney failure or since that I've teach you this tonight.

[01:14:07]Let me summarize it. So today um as people didn't join early today we learn about the kidney kidney failure issue.

[01:14:18]Yeah. And I I said a a story that there was a man in my village who was strong, hardworking man, never sick.

[01:14:28]But what he does is take painkillers and herbal mischief. So one day the leg got swelling and the man thought that he was tired. That's why he he go to farm. So he was tired. That's why um we don't need medicines.

[01:14:51]Great platform.

[01:14:53]Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[01:14:56]And so the man leg got swollen and when we rush him to the hospital, the kidney has failed and it was sad issue. The man was my friend in the village. It's sad issue. It's very very sad. It's very very sad. So the warning sign I talk about the warning sign I said that one when your legs get swelling or your face gets swelling is also lead to warning signs about kidney failure and also when your urine is dark or foamy it also contributes to that and when you feel tired like you are not working and you are feeling tired it also contribute to kidney failure and the last one about the warning signs is that passing less urine then you are there and you started passing less urine. Oh, you have to be careful. It's also warning sign. Yeah, it's also warning sign. So let's move to the um prevention.

[01:16:04]Let's move to the courses. So I talked about the causes and the causes also I said that too much pinkless can lead to that too much pinkless use can lose leads to kidney failure and unregulated hair mischief also it can lead to that yeah and high blood pressure uh diabetes not drinking enough water can also lead to that. So we all have to be careful. That's the causes. High blood pressure, diabetes, not drinking enough water, um unregulated hair mischief and too much painkillers can also lead to that. Yeah, it can lead to that. And lastly, I thought about the prevention. Um Jacenza, if you don't eat your good food as medicine, you will end up eating pills as food. Wow. Wow. Wow.

[01:17:03]Thumbs up. Thumbs up. Jenza said that if you don't eat your good food as medicine, you will end up eating pills as food. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. It's It's true. It's true.
