How does our kidneys work - what is it's purpose? what does it do?
Question:
Answers:
Kidneys are the filters of our blood system. They filter out waste products in our blood and that makes urine that must be excreted from our bodies. If the kidneys do not do this or fail to do this, the waste products would build up to toxic levels in our blood and poison us to death. The kidneys work with the liver to cleanse our blood. The liver metabolizes bad chemicals in the blood into water soluble chemicals that the kidneys can excrete. Beers and liquor in the blood are removed by the kidneys and liver. They may damage the kidneys over long periods of time. How much damage depends on how long and how much and also varies from person to person.
they work as filters, they filter fluids in your body, so liquor, for whatever reason plays havok on your kidneys and liver, and causes them to shutdown or die. you can find exactly why on wikipedia.org
Our body is one of the most complex and fully automatic machine that God has endowed us with. Human brain too is most advanced and wonderful.
First let us talk of 'kidney', which is your prime concern. When we eat food and while digesting food, some effluents are created invariably, which our body has to reject and eject. It is here that our Kidneys has to work. The effluents get dissolved into the blood. And when this passes through Kidneys, it gets filtered and ejected from the body through urination process.
How it could be connected with diabetes? Diabetes is concerned with sugar level in the blood.
Why we feel hungry ? When our body is low on sugar, we feel tired and need to renew the sugar level to enerzise our body. And we feel hungry. We eat food. While food is digested, it creates sugar which give energy to our body.
Now, Pancreas is the gland which secretes an enzyme called 'insulin'. Insulin's function is to absorb the excess sugar level in the blood and store it for gradual release. It helps our body to remain on proper energy level.
It is when Pancreas is defunct, i.e. insulin is no more secreted or level of insulin is too low that our body encounters a problem.
When we eat food, our body immediatekly starts digesting it and Sugars are produced. Lack of insulin or low levels cause sugar level in blood to go high. It is this condition when a pers is called diabetic.
High sugar levels in the blood may cause immense damage to our physical body. Here Kidnyes come to our rescuse. It starts working instantly to flush our excess sugar in the blood. A diatetic person feel and urge to go for urination immediately after his meals or after intake of any food or drink having contents high in carbohydrates creating instant sugars.
It is nature's way of protecting our body.
