Kidney diseases have become a global health problem, so knowing how to care for your kidneys can help reduce their incidence and improve the quality of life of affected individuals.
The phrases: "Matter is neither created nor destroyed, it is transformed" or "What goes in, must come out" are partly true: part of what enters the body is used to generate energy, but another part must be eliminated and expelled. The excretory system, and the kidney specifically, have as their main functions to filter and clean the blood, as well as to expel and eliminate non-useful substances or toxins that are released within the body during metabolization processes. With the production and expulsion of 2 liters of urine per day, the body is protected from the possible harmful effects of the accumulation of these toxins and the entire system is balanced.
Among the diseases that affect the urinary system, we can find kidney stones, urinary tract infections, catheter calcification, and overactive and painful bladder syndromes. These are largely related to urinary pH.
Good control of urinary pH contributes to maintaining the health of the urinary system, helping to prevent the appearance of kidney stones, a urinary tract infection, or any of the other urinary diseases. With the Lit-Control method, you can measure and control urinary pH quickly, easily, and from home.
In this blog, we will try to explain the causes of these diseases, the symptoms of each, the importance of maintaining an adequate urinary pH, and the preventive measures that can be applied to help avoid their onset.
