The Marvelous Human Body : The Amazing Kidneys

1 - Essential functions :

• Maintain the overall balance of fluids and minerals in the body

• Filter 5 lts of blood every minute

• Remove drugs and waste from the body

• Release hormones that regulate blood pressure

2 - Habits that harm them :

• Painkillers and acetaminophen

• Fast or processed foods

• Not drinking enough water :

• Recommended individual water daily intake is one glass per every 10 kilos of the person' total weight (i.e.: if your weight is 70 Kgs, then you should be drinking 7 glasses per day). Natural Spring Water or Natural Artesian Water are among the purest and best quality ones.

• Poor sleeping

• Excess of meat and sugar (glucose causes fermentation and lactic acid in tissues and cells get glued, which in turn damage and destroy the kidneys)

• Alcohol and / or smoking

• Hiper-active nervous central system

• Sitting for long periods of time

3 - Healthy habits to protect the Kidneys :

• Low carbohydrate diet (reduce glucose to safe level)

• Moderate regular exercise

a) Early morning is a great time to do it as plants are releasing oxygen into the environment, whereas at evening or night they are releasing CO2 instead.

b) Best practice is being barefooted on the grass, sand or soil as this passes good energy and vibes into our bodies

c) Do 10 sessions of very deep inhalations through the nose counting until 5, each followed by slower exhalation through the mouth counting until 10

d) Whenever you feel stressed, angry, negative, in bad temper or in low energy levels, go to your backyard, patio or park and give a big hug to a tree for
a few minutes
