This past Sunday, September 29th, the Balboa Nephrology team, our very own “Silent Super Heroes,” participated in the National Kidney Foundation SoCal Kidney Walk in Long Beach! It was a fantastic day filled with community spirit, raising awareness for kidney health, and supporting a great cause.
We were thrilled to see so many familiar faces, including our friends from the Fresenius Medical Care Home Training Center. Together, we walked, cheered, and celebrated the incredible strength and resilience of those living with kidney disease.
Why We Walk
At Balboa Nephrology, we are passionate about providing exceptional care to patients with kidney disease. Participating in the Kidney Walk allows us to not only connect with our patients and the community on a personal level, but also to raise awareness for the critical importance of kidney health.
Kidney Disease: A Growing Concern
Millions of Americans are affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD), and many don’t even know they have it. Early detection and management are crucial in slowing disease progression and improving quality of life.
Taking Care of Your Kidneys
Maintaining healthy kidneys is essential for overall well-being. Here are some simple steps you can take to keep your kidneys healthy:
- Maintain a healthy weight.
- Eat a balanced diet low in salt and processed foods.
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
- Manage blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
- Don’t smoke.
- Get regular checkups and screenings, especially if you are at risk for kidney disease.
