There is a lot to be thankful for in March. If you stop a second and think about it. The days are longer. Spring is coming. St. Patrick's Day!
It's also the month to be aware of several important issues many face. Such as: Kidney and Liver diseases. The FitStop is going to focus on these two issues this month as well as promote good nutrition. Nutrition is key to preventing so many diseases, including the 2 mentioned here.
Do you honestly know how amazing our kidneys and liver are??
Let's dive in in this blog.
Kidneys: most of us know that our kindneys remove waste and extra fluid from our blood as well as make urine. But they also control our body's chemical balance, help control our blood pressure, help keep our bones healthy and help us make red blood cells.
Liver: There's a list so hang tight! Not only does the liver eliminate toxins, heavy metals and cleanse our bloodstream, but it also controls sugar levels, stores vitamins/minerals, protects our immune system, burns fat, makes energy, controls cholesterol, makes bile, controls weight, makes protein, balances hormones/thyroid/blood pressure and breaks down toxins, chemicals and alcohol. WOW!
Doesn't that make you want to take care of these organs???
So, how can we prevent these diseases? Well, like most, the preventions include exercise, nutrition, and sleep. Managing stress is in there too. Limiting alcohol and smoking is added for the liver.
It truly is a holistic approach to taking care of our insides.
