Kidney Awareness: It’s World Kidney Day Today, March 12, 2009
You might not be aware, it’s World Kidney Day, and March is "National Kidney Month" in the US. Please visit the website Kidney.org for more information. The Kidney Foundation is on Facebook too! (You can become a fan.) There are free kidney screenings all over the US today. Many of us take our kidneys fore granted, and don’t drink enough (water, that is)—me included. It wasn’t until I ended up in Emergency last October (for completely unrelated reasons) that I discovered this… Stone disease is on the rise, and you can help prevent it by drinking more (water), and with a change of diet and supplements. If not, the alternatives aren’t fun, and might take you by surprise!
