The kidneys have several functions, the chief function is to purge the blood of toxic waste products and then eliminate the toxins through the urine we excrete. Other functions include: helping with blood pressure control, balancing fluid in the body and maintaining an electrolyte balance. Electrolytes are substances such as salts that dissolve or break apart into ions when mixed with water. Good health depends on maintaining a proper balance of water and electrolytes. Healthy kidneys are essential to good health.
When the kidneys become damaged, they lose their ability to function properly. Waste products and excess fluid build up in the body causing such symptoms as; fatigue, migraines, edema (fluid retention), high blood pressure or skin afflictions.
