Good Kidney Health helps you with less migraines, and lower blood pressure
The kidneys – we have two that are on your back and right above your waist. Their main job is to purify your blood. If you go to the bathroom and you pee a very dark yellow, it usually means that the concentration is high. When water intake is good, the pee should only have a yellowish tint. When the urine is a dark yellow, it is an indication that you need to increase your water intake. Did you notice that I “didn’t” say, “you need to increase your fluid intake?” The best drink on the planet in clean, unchemical water. No flouride or added anything makes good water. I filter my water because city water or tap water has chlorine added to it and needs some help to be clean. I use an under-the-sink unit with its own tap on the top of the sink. The filter is charcoal – a little more expensive, but worth the cost.
If you are having blood pressure problems, migraines or other health problems, start to investigate your intake of fluids. What kind of fluids do you drink? Gatoraid and other sports drinks are loaded with chemicals – flavor enhancers, chemial colorings and other things your kidneys must filter to help you stay healthy. Don’t underestimate what you drink because it is crucial to good health. It would be like putting the cheapest, low grade oil in your car and never changing the oil filter. Not good for your car, and not good for your body.
If you are thirsty, it is your body calling for water. Don’t drink out of plastic bottles – they outgas chemicals that your body may interpret as estrogen. Estrogen is a hormone, mainly used in a womans body to keep her with curves and body fat to make those curves. Estrogen is found in a man’s body, but in smaller amounts. A man who is developing breasts, is a man with too much estrogen in his body. All beef, chicken and dairy are pumped full of estrogen and is not a healthy choice. Eat organic meats and free-range chickens to cut down on the estrogen in your diet.
Lastly, be careful eating canned good – they have an extremely high salt content. One can of tuna can be enough salt for two days!! Excess salt can upset the amount of water retained in your body by the kidneys. The kidneys are responsible for this ratio to be healthy. But, when there is too much salt in your diet, then the kidneys dilute the salt by retaining the water. The water is put into the blood and now you have more blood. More blood will raise your blood pressure.
Next we talk about the Liver. The organ that help you to LIVE.
