Unfortunately, the unhealthy lifestyle can lead to accumulation of these toxins, disrupting the function of the kidneys.
So, in order to maintain the proper function of your kidneys, thus prevent kidney disease, kidney stones, and accumulation of toxins in your body, you should stay hydrated and detox your kidneys every once in awhile!
