Winter can be tough on your kidneys, but small habits make a big difference.

Free indoor workout options:
-Local malls are Free, safe, well-lit, and benches are available if you need breaks.

- Indoor walks at home 5–10 minutes around the house or marching in place while watching TV.

Medication Reminder Options:

-Daily phone alarm, one repeating alarm labeled “medications.”

-Weekly pill organizer, this reduces mistakes and helps you see if doses were missed.

Keep medications near something you do every day (coffee maker, toothbrush, or nightstand).

Tips to Keeping a Consistent Sleep Routine:

-Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, even on weekends.

-Limit screen time to 30 minutes before bed or turn on “night mode” to reduce stimulation.

-Create a short bedtime routine: wash face, dim lights, read a few pages of a book.

How to Make Blood Pressure Tracking Easier:

-Measure at the same time every day, usually in the morning before coffee.

-Use a simple Blood Pressure notebook, write down the date, time, and top/bottom numbers.

Sit comfortably, feet flat, arm supported at heart level, rest 2–3 minutes before measuring.

Stay hydrated, stay active, and stay on top of your health this season.
Your kidneys will thank you!
