We join World Kidney Day!

Last Thursday, March 9, we lived a new day, a date established since 2006 with the aim of raising awareness about the importance of our kidneys and to promote the early detection of any condition to prevent kidney disease.

Thus, as MATER Corporation we adhere to this important day by performing various actions to promote this call in the community, including a free blood pressure test in Soto Aguilar fair (located next to our Diagnostic Center) where we deliver care tips and take the opportunity to publicize our cause; and an Instagram Live with our friend Nataly Chilet (@natychilet), host, model and influencer, who was talking with Constanza Olivares, nurse; Belén Sánchez, kinesiologist and Paola Mella, psychologist; about the importance of our kidneys and the work we do as MATER.

The call is to take care of yourself. For this reason, we leave you with the eight "golden rules established worldwide to keep our kidneys safe:

1.- Keep fit and active

Maintain regular control of blood glucose levels.

3.- Monitor your blood pressure

Eating healthy and keeping your weight under control.

5.- Maintain a healthy fluid intake.

6.- NO smoking

7.- DO NOT self-medicate

8.- Check your fun

kidney function if you have one or more high-risk factors

Let's keep preventing kidney disease together. #CorporacionMATER
