Don't ignore your kidneys, or your kidneys will ignore you.
This multifunctional organ in our body acts as a metabolic engine, filtering blood through millions of capillaries. However, a sedentary lifestyle puts us at risk of kidney stones and chronic kidney disease.
If you have ever had a kidney stone, you might not want it to happen to your worst enemy. But, unfortunately, this is a major problem that will only get worse over time. One in ten people have kidney stones at some stage in their lives.
As the name suggests, kidney stones form in the kidneys. As a result, you may experience discomfort in the kidneys or adjacent areas (such as the lower back, abdomen, and groin).
But have you ever wondered how kidney stones are formed?
When urine contains more crystalline substances such as calcium, oxalate, and uric acid, kidney stones will form. If your urine is lacking in substances that prevent the crystals from sticking together, kidney stones can also form. Therefore, it creates an ideal environment for the formation of kidney stones.
