Introduction:
- The urinary system is made up of the kidneys and bladder
- The main function of this system is to control body fluid concentrations and
filtering wastes out of the blood - The kidneys control body fluid concentration by regulating how much water
and salt is reabsorbed. - An excess of acid in the body, normally due to a diet being high in acid
forming foods (such as meat, dairy, soda pop, sugar and grains), poor
digestion, shallow breathing and stress. When the kidneys are unable to
filter these acids, the body borrows alkalizing minerals such as magnesium,
potassium and calcium from the bones, muscles and connective tissues to
buffer the acids. - Note that poor kidney function and excess acid will weaken the structural
system and may result in:
- Stiff muscles and joints due to magnesium loss
- Osteoporosis from calcium loss
- Low back pain, stiffness in the neck between shoulder blades,
headaches
- Other problems that may occur in this system include kidney stones,
incontinence and infections. - Click here to see how the urinary system interacts with all the other body
systems.
Lifestyle Suggestions to support the Urinary System:
- Drink 6 - 8 cups of pure water daily (plus 1 cup of water for every
caffeinated beverage or glass of alcohol you consume) - Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables especially asparagus, celery,
mangoes, cranberries and watermelon - Personal hygiene (Women after urinating wipe from front to back only
instead of back to front) - Avoid antibiotics if possible, otherwise make sure to replenish the “good
flora” with Probiotics. - Eat natural yogurt or fermented food that promotes the growth of “good
bacteria” in the digestive tract. - Minimize foods that are high in Oxalic Acid.
