“After an overnight fast, your body and kidneys are mildly dehydrated and craving water. Start your day with at least a glass of water instead of reaching for coffee or tea,” says Dr Venkat.
“After holding your urine overnight, your bladder is already stretched and waiting to be emptied. Never hold your pee for too long in the morning or during the day,” he advises.

“Painkillers can harm your kidneys if not taken judiciously, and the risk increases when taken on an empty stomach. Always follow instructions and take them with food or water,” explains Dr Venkat.
“Exercising in the morning is a great way to start the day, but it's equally important to hydrate post-workout. Water helps your kidneys flush out toxins and prevents dehydration-related stress,” he adds.
“Personally, I recommend starting your day with a healthy protein-rich breakfast. Skipping breakfast often leads to snacking on high-salt foods, which can strain your kidneys due to excess sodium,” Dr Venkat notes.
Following these simple tips can help protect your kidneys while keeping your mornings healthy and energetic.
