KIDNEY DISEASE

The blood of our body gets purified by three means:-

-- By the oxygen through the lungs.

• By the sweat through skin.
• Through the Kidneys

These remove the toxins, acid and other harmful elements from the blood. Human body has two kidneys. They are of violet colour.

WORKS OF THE KIDNEYS:--

Urine: - a healthy human being urinates about one liter per day. In summer, this quantity is lesser due to sweating. Change of urine color is a sign of disease. In fever this color becomes dark yellow or slightly reddish. In healthy condition, urine neither contains protein nor sugar. In diabetes, sugar star coming in urine. The amount of urea in urine depends on the amount of meal and food intakes a person takes.
If we eat too much protein-rich food and urea–rich food like fish, meat, eggs etc. then this hot and heavy meals increase the amount of urea making the kidneys to work much more and harder.

If we don’t keep the other to means of blood cleaning (lungs and skin) active, then due to overload of work kidneys lose their efficiency and eventually we get the kidney disease.

Some major causes of kidney diseases are:--

-lack in the amount of oxygen body receives.
-- Always staying in air-conditions, thus not allowing the sweating process of the body. So, blood doesn’t get clean through skin.
-- Lack of exercise or no physical work.
-- drinking too much tea, coffee.

Drinking lots of alcohol

Excessive smoking

When amount of protein and urea increases too much then kidneys start to develop STONES.

Here we have listed some very simple precautions which will help you in keeping the kidneys healthy :--

• Drink at least  1-1.5 liters of water per day.
• It would be better if you drink lemon water 1-2 times a day.
• Lemon water cleans the kidneys.
• Try to arrange things in a way that body keeps producing sweat. It will keep skin busy and help in reducing the work-load of kidneys.
• Reduce the quantity of acidic foods in your meal and increase phosphate intake.
• Include salad of fresh vegetables, vegetable soups, boiled vegetables, fruit juice and fruits in your meal.
• If suffering from kidney diseases then try to eat juice of foods and vegetables regularly.
• Orange and pineapples are very good fruit choices in this condition.
