When it comes to taking care of your body, chances are your kidneys are often overlooked. But this pair of organs does more for your health than you realize. They remove wastes from the body while ensuring that the water, salts and minerals are balanced in your blood. The kidneys also make hormones that create red blood cells, control your blood pressure and maintain your bone health.

How are we supposed to eat egg whites? Throw away the yolk? These articles always amaze me. They think we’re stupid. Did they forget to add plenty of water? Wait, water is not a “food.”
Where’s the bacon?
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
Bkmk
Food is not medicine
No ice-cream or chocolate donuts or sausage pizza or fried chicken? I eat those regularly and my kidneys are working fine. I get a blood work done every 6 months which tests liver, kidney & pancreas functions.
I do not believe any such studies. Whom did they test?

Along with some good sauce and pasta
You are right, and medicine is not a cure for everything, and all medicines have adverse side effects, even Aspirin.
I depend on one remedy for good health more than any food or medicine, 150 minutes mild exercise every week, spread over 4-6 days. No health issues at age 84. Never had heart attack, no strokes, no kidney failure, no liver failure. My blood sugar and blood pressure are okay as well. My LDL is low but HDL is low also. But it has been like that for 40 years, so I don’t worry about low HDL.
Okay, my caveat is I reduced alcohol intake after age 50, and never smoked.
I’m not seeing peanut butter cups there.
Seriously, I’m pretty good with most of those.
I’m okay, with one exception - 12. Arugula.
I was so thankful dark chocolate was on the list.../s
Good job. I’m 76 and right behind you. All tests within parameters and BP fine without any drugs. No smoking. Heavy on the exercise. Red wine aficionado. Only thing I’m deficient in, is a lady companion. She doesn’t even need to be nice. Just talk to me once in awhile. I’m not even a stickler for her age. Doesn’t matter. Just recently I emailed a woman I dated heavily 40 years ago when we were in our 30’s. Found her on the internet. Turns out, we are 1,200 miles apart. She never even bothered to answer me. I was just about ready to put her in my will, I was very fond of her back then. Seems she re-married. I think the new “husband” is a female. Believe it or not. Such is America today. And four years of Trump isn’t going to fix this kind of s—t.
Go to Facebook dating on phone only. Does not work on PC.
It is free to use and there are many women there. Just be careful of scammers.
BUMP!
Don’t think I’ve ever had arugula.
