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.

One of the most important things we should all do is to stay hydrated. Drink water! It is one of the best things you can do to protect and improve your kidney function. Keep in mind that sugary and caffeine drinks are not water\u2014and these drinks can actually be dehydrating\u2014just the opposite of what you want.<\/p>\n<p>Have trouble drinking enough water? Add lots of fruits and vegetables that contain water naturally.
