YOUR KIDNEY AND YOU

-

 In recent times the prostrate cancer has been on the increase and we will like to throw some light about this devastating disease for the benefit of all. 

Our kidney is very important to all other organs in our bodies. The kidney is tasked with the responsibility to clean our blood and keep blood stream clean from toxic substances. Anything you drink into your body gives the kidney a new job of checking and filtering any toxin that is in the drink, the kidney does this heroic work to make sure that any waste products are removed and the other chemical substances in the body are kept in check. 

If there is any particular chemical that is in excess in the system, it is the work of the kidney to remove the excess and to maintain the right amount that the body require for normal function, the kidney also works to counterbalance in the event that a particular chemical is in short supply by allowing more supply of that substance for normal body function.

Therefore, your kidney is a workaholic machine that constantly removes that which the body doesn't need and preserving that which the body needs. 

Because of the work load the kidney does sometimes it collapses under the weight of the load that is subjected to it and therefore we have a responsibility to help the kidney to stay healthy to carry out its functions, once the kidney collapses we too will collapse. 

1.1 KEEPING OUR KIDNEYS HEALTHY 

We can keep our kidneys healthy by doing a few simple things, such as ;

1. Adequate water 💧 intake is necessary: Water helps to dissolve chemicals and toxins in the body, so be sure to take enough water every day, if you have natural fruit juice it is as good as water, what the body need is fluid, you can take watermelon, cucumbers, pawpaw and other fruit juices. The WHO recommends 6 -8 or more  glasses of water and other fluids daily. This will make your urine lighter and also help to dissolve unwanted salts and other toxic substances through the urine. This helps the kidneys are great deal. One major cause of kidney problems is the formation of stones called kidney stones and if you have been taking adequate water there's no way kidney stones can form in your kidney and bladder. 

2. See your Doctor if you experience frequent sore throats: Infections from streptococcus of the nose, throat and ears produces germs and poisonous substances that reacts to destroy the kidneys, it is very important for parents to watch out for this because it affects children too, if your child suddenly develops a sore throat see your doctor immediately, the child may be suffering an infection that could lead to the damage of the kidneys. 

3. Know The color of your Urine : if you are observation, you will know the color of your urine and if there are so much changes you will easily notice, if you feel symptoms of dizziness, fever and weakness and notices at the same time swollen under the eyes or around your ankles as an adult, then you need to see your doctor and have a comprehensive medical diagnosis, it could be symptoms of kidney problems. 

Conclusively, Water! Water!! Water!!! 

Take sufficient water every day to make sure that your blood stream is flowing freely through all the vessels.
