Taking Prevention of PKD by Natural Ways

2. Sustain a healthy weight and prevent obesity through regular exercises.
The reasonable level for physical activity can be 30 minutes per day. People can do exercises like walking and light jogging or aerobics. This will help to maintain a normal blood pressure and also release stress, keeping stress levels at a healthy state.
