Kidney Maintenance - Protecting Your Kidneys
Ten ways you can protect your kidneys against stones, malfunction and failure.
1. DRINK WATER: Drink 3 quarts of water daily, Fresh spring water is best. More than anything else, water will help cleanse your kidneys and keep them free of acid waste accumulation.
2. ELIMINATE SOFT DRINKS: Many soft drinks contain both caffeine and sugar. The excess sugar both dehydrates the body and overstimulates the pancreas to release insulin which is stressful on your heart.
3. ELIMINATE CAFFEINE AND ALCOHOL: Caffeine and alcohol are strong diuretics. For every cup of coffee or glass of beer, the body gives up three glasses of water—which means the body is perpetually dehydrated. People who regularly consume these beverages can never really quench their thirst because their bodies are always running out of water.
4. DRINK FRESH LEMON JUICE. Take the juice of one lemon in warm water each morning. It’s a natural liver-and-kidney cleansing tonic.
5. SWEAT MORE: Sweating helps to eliminate toxins through your skin and thus alleviates the load placed on your lungs, colon and kidneys. I drink water with fresh lemon at every meal.
6. REDUCE RED MEAT INTAKE: Uric acid kidney stones from when we consume excessive amounts of animal protein—especially red meat. If the kidneys don’t remove all the uric acid, it ends up in the areas of the body with the poorest circulation like the toes and the feet and gout crystals (uric acid) are formed. I passed seven uric acid stones in one year before I started drinking water with fresh lemon and cut down on the consumption of red meat.
7. INCREASE YOUR GREENS: When you eat meat, cheese and all processed foods, you are eating acid-forming foods that throw off acid waste that accumulates in the kidneys. When you eat greens or green drinks, you alkalize the body and help cleanse acid waste accumulation.
8. EXERCISE: When you walk, run, jump on a mini-trampoline or ride a bike for 20 minutes every day, you help activate the lymph system which helps cleanse the body of toxins and reduces stress on the kidneys.
9.REDUCE USE OF THE OVER-THE-COUNTER PAINKILLERS: Over the counter painkillers must be broken down by the liver and kidneys. Both organs can become extremely taxed, fatigued and worn out by this constant detoxification.
10. KNOW YOUR KIDNEYS: It’s their critical job to filter blood, ridding th body of waste products. The kidneys filter metabolic waste products from protein, fat, various minerals, alcohol, drugs and other ingested toxins. Your kidneys form the core of your body’s complex filtration system that removes life threatening toxins.
By far the single most important thing you can do to prevent kidney stones is to increase your fresh water intake. Water dilutes urine and helps prevent concentrations of the minerals and salts that can form stones
Keep a diet low in animal fat, starches and carbohydrates. I know this flies in the fact of the high protein craze that is being touted on every TV show in America. Is that baconburger really worth an increased risk for diapers and dialysis?
WHY DO AMERICANS HAVE SO MUCH KIDNEY DISEASE? The answer is our LIFESTYLE. Beer, Cola and Coffee are America’s favorite poisons. The common cause of kidney stones, bladder diseases, uremic poisoning, and nephritis (chronic inflammation of the kidneys)—is what we eat and what we drink. The sugar and alcohol, caffeine and other potentially harmful chemicals act as MAJOR DEHYDRATING AGENTS.
ACCORDING TO THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL: Kidney disease is now included in the top10 causes of death by a disease. Lifestyle changes in our improper dietary habits have made kidney stones 10 times more common now than they were at the start of the 20th century.
