Here is every word Neff says in the video.

  1. Hi, I'm Neff Roligeé! It's a new year. Let's talk about goals that are kind to your kidneys.
  2. Pick one small goal you can really do. When it feels easy, build on it, one step at a time.
  3. Moving more helps your kidneys and your heart. You don't have to run. Walking and gardening count. If you're not active now, start slow.
  4. Not sure what's safe for you? Ask us what kind of activity fits you.
  5. Do you smoke? Quitting helps your kidneys, too. It can help slow kidney disease. And it helps at any age, even if you've smoked for years.
  6. Quitting can be hard. You don't have to do it alone. Ask us about help to quit.
  7. A healthy weight can help your kidneys. But your health is more than a number on a scale. There's no perfect weight to chase. Ask us what's right for you.
  8. Missed a day? That's normal. Just pick it up again the next day. Ask a friend to walk with you. It can help you keep going.
  9. We're here to help. Bring your questions to every visit. Let's take care of your kidneys together!
