HOW TO STRENGTHEN YOUR KIDNEYS?? SECRETS YOU DID NOT KNOW

The wise people have said “ingest wisely cut off even more wisely “ what they meant is that choose your company wisely but cut off your company even more wisely. The same kind of logic applies to our bodies also, the process of ingesting is done through the digestive system whereas the process of excreting is done by the kidneys without the kidneys it will be difficult for the body to excrete out excess waste and the body shall become even more toxic than before thus the role of the kidneys becomes even more crucial. 

ROLE OF THE EXCRETORY SYSTEM APART FROM THE PROCESS OF EXCRETION 

One of the major functions of the kidney apart from the excretion of waste is the process of osmoregulation, when we say Osmoregulation we mean the excretion or expulsion of excess acid or bodily fluids like sodium, potassium and phosphorus which is not required.

One of the best urologists in Punjab and a respected member of the medical fraternity explains “To summarise all functions performed by the kidneys are more or less connected to the process of excretion however there is also one function which people are completely unaware of that is the kidneys producing hormones.” Yes, you heard that right the kidneys do produce hormones like Vitamin D and erythropoietin. 

When we talk of vitamin D, the vitamin helps maintain the required level of calcium and phosphorus in the body and helps to excrete the excess of the same to maintain the levels of the same whereas when we talk of erythropoietin the production of red blood cells needs to deliver the required amount of oxygen to the concerned body parts and also facilitate the working and functioning of the body. 

HOW TO MAINTAIN THE INTRINSIC HEALTH OF YOUR KIDNEYS?? 

  1. MAKING PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE ROUTINE: Any kind of physical activity which consists of a simple walk or a 20-minute run can also help release the gas from the intestines and the relax the large intestine and the rectum which can help the kidneys to remove and discharge waste from the system. 
  1. Eat a lot of Fibre-rich foods: Fibre is known to have astringent properties that actually massage the walls of the large intestine and also regulate the movement of the bowels which will help them release the clogged waste, along with including a lot of greens in your food in your diet you can also drink a lot of water which can balance the excess acid produced by the intestine because of the acid generated by the digestive system. 
  1. Get enough sleep and limit the intake of substances: Limiting the intake of substances such as alcohol and drugs because it hampers the normal functioning of the kidneys. One of the best urologists in Ludhiana laughs as he shares an experience “I often get screenshots from people suggesting that tequila is used for curing kidney stones, yes I do agree that a certain composition of alcohol is present in all medicines we take but the percentage of alcohol used in the food and beverage industry is way higher than the ones used in the pharmaceutical sector it is the same thing honey when taken in small quantities cures sore throat, when in large quantities causes acidity.
