#HEALTHTALK: KIDNEY

It’s another week of health talk with Dr. Laura John, C.E.O of Herbal Fountains.

Today’s topic is very important; we are treating a particular organ of importance which is the KIDNEY.

The kidney is that organ in the human body that removes wastes from the blood, excrete them via urine and return cleaned blood to the body. It keeps water and minerals at healthy levels and produces important hormones. If the kidneys are diseased they cannot efficiently filter waste and excess fluids also urine production decreases and eventually stops.

The process of which the body cannot produce urine leads to Dialysis, a procedure in which the blood is filtered via a machine and or a fluid held at abdominal cavity.

Primary cause of kidney problems or disease is high blood pressure and obesity while other factors could be attributed to the intake of various pain killers, fume, and heavy metals from the environment, pesticides also the lifestyle of taking junks.

The damage to the kidney from high blood pressure or high level of sugar in the blood can occur even at pre-diseased stages.

The first step to protecting your kidneys is to try and control your blood sugar level, your cholesterol level, your blood pressure and above all watch that WEIGHT. It is also important to keep yourself well hydrated, if you are able to keep to the aforementioned rules you will have a good chance of retaining good kidneys till your old age.

A major fact is that if your immunity is strong, there will be no room for any ailment as such as kidney disease, cancer, stroke etc. Try to eat right, detoxify the body of toxin and build your immunity by taking very dark green vegetables (the more the green the better).

Water is the drink of life, take lots of water at least 6 cups a day. You are what you take, stay healthy.
