5 TIPS FOR HEALTHY KIDNEYS

The main function of the kidneys is to remove dirt from the body.Here are some tips to keep your kidneys:

1. Drink plenty of water
   
   The body consists of 60-70% water. Without water, the cells will not survive and biochemical and physiological processes in the body will not work correctly. Health experts recommend drinking at least eight glasses per day. Pay attention to the consumption of mineral water that enters the body, namely, two glasses when I wake up, one glass before and after meals and two glasses before bed. Two glasses of water can then be consumed for the extra time you indulge.
   
   Drink water before every meal will also reduce the "hunger". Ice-cold water is not recommended, because the cold temperatures will inhibit the metabolism of food. Lipids are hardened and more difficult to digest. The kidneys respond to the water intake accordingly. A healthy kidney will absorb what is needed by the body and remove excess. This action will increase the excretion of metabolic waste and will maintain the integrity of the kidney.

A healthy kidney takes a lot of water to "clean up" of dirt and metabolic.
   
3. Avoid alcohol
   
   Alcohol is a diuretic substance that causes frequent urination or micturation, but also lead to the prevention of excretion of other substances such as uric acid. This will lead to kidney stones or gouty arthritis. Uric acid is one cause of kidney stones or nefrolisiasis. A healthy kidney will completely remove uric acid and other impurities in the body.
   
4. Not pressing forcibly as you will urinate
