A sedentary lifestyle is known to increase the risk of chronic diseases. Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health have shown that physical activity is good for the heart, brain, lungs and also the kidneys. But what physical activity are we talking about? Not necessarily sport as such. It is important not to confuse sport with physical activity. What is good for health is regular physical activity, integrated into one's lifestyle, with a healthy lifestyle and one can be physically active without being sporty. You can't make everyone do sport and it's this assumption that often leads to insufficient physical activity, because if you're discouraged by the idea of having to do sport, there's a risk that some people won't do anything at all. Kidney disease causes the kidneys, which are responsible for filtering the blood in the body, to malfunction.
