Your kidneys, shaped like a bean and about the size of your fist, are located in the middle of your back just below the rib cage. Kidneys are vital to your health. Did you know the kidneys process about 2.2 pints of blood per minute? They filter wastes (up to two quarts) from the blood and send it to the bladder. Their function also helps to regulate your blood pressure and balance acidity and electrolyte levels.
Our AMAZING KIDNEYS! Yet we tend to neglect our kidneys unless a problem develops—like infections, kidney stones, etc. We need to take care of our kidneys all the time—before problems develop.
