KIDNEYS AND BLADDER PROBLEMS/STONES
When we do not drink enough water we can easily develop bladder and kidney disorders due to the heavy concentration of urine that is passed.
Bladder
The bladder aids in the passing of fluid from our body and to remain healthy, it needs water. The urinary bladder is a hollow organ made up of elastic muscle fibers, which allow it to expand without damage. Ordinarily, the bladder has the capacity to hold up to 750ml of fluid. Drinking the recommended 6-8 glasses of water a day will keep the bladder active and bacteria-free.
Kidneys/Kidney Stones
While they don't sound as important as the heart and lungs, kidneys are very important to our health. The kidneys, along with the liver and or urinary tract rid our body of waste materials. If the kidneys were to stop operating for only two days, it would cause retention of metabolic toxins, and then uremia would set in. The accumulation of waste products, normally excreted in the urine, would cause metabolic poisoning.
Build-up of bacteria and proteins can cause crystals to form, which are known as kidney stones.
These are very painful to pass. Some studies show that dehydration increases the chances of having kidney stones, and drinking plenty of healthy, purified water may very well prevent the formation of them.
Dehydration is not only a symptom, but also the cause of many aliments, especially kidney infections and other disorders. If someone is prone to kidney and urinary ailments, they will want to avoid dehydration at all costs.
During hot weather and exercise, it is even more important to replenish fluids that may have been lost through water and even the occasional sports drink.
When it comes to your health, the quality of your drinking water is just as important as the quantity.
Toxic bacteria, chemicals and heavy metals routinely penetrate and pollute our natural water sources making people sick while exposing them to long term health consequences such as liver damage, cancer and other serious conditions.
In my opinion South Africa has reached the point where all sources of our drinking water, including municipal water systems, wells, lakes, and rivers contain some level of contamination. Even some brands of bottled water have been found to contain high levels of contaminants in addition to plastics chemical leaching from the bottle.
A good water filtration system installed in your home is the only way to proactively monitor and ensure the quality and safety of your drinking water. Reverse osmosis water purification systems can remove 90-99% of all contaminants from city and well water to deliver healthy drinking water for you and your family.
