Do you take your kidney for granted?

The kidney is such an important organ, yet most people have little idea about its crucial role in the body. Consequently, we unknowingly distress this vital organs by poor lifestyle habits and choices. This lack of understanding is probably costing us a lot more than we realize. The fact is… when the value of something is not understood or appreciated, it is usually abused.

Recent statistics indicate that renal failure is on the increase. According to statistics from the World Health Organization, sixty-six thousand (66 000) kidneys were transplanted in 2005 representing a mere 10% of the estimated need. In the same year, 21 000 livers and 6 000 hearts were transplanted. This means that the number of kidney transplants were three (3) time more than the second most transplanted organ (the liver).

In most cases poor dietary and lifestyle habits are responsible for these avoidable health conditions. These two organs (in some cases, one) are unbelievably important and if they become damaged or diseased, they will significantly change your life. They play a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis and overall health.
