Water and kidney problems

[Pascallist]

It's always advisable to drink plenty of water regularly to keep your kidney healthy and functioning properly. But I just read that someone with certain kidney problems is not to drink too much water.

You are to drink enough water, not too much of it. Especially if you had a kidney problem, excessive drinking would put so much burden to your kidneys, and would make the problem worse.

Wooh! I thought that one should drink more than what is regularly required when one has kidney stones. Is that the kind of kidney problem you are talking about?

 

[Mohidad]

It is new to me also, but I think it makes sense. I love water so I would make sure not get any kidney problem so that I can always drink much water.

They are always changing health rules. So I go by moderation. I drink water, milk and juice. Once in a while a soda, and have a few beers a week. I just try not to overdue it with anything.

I had to cut back on the soda because, I always felt like crap. It's amazing how much soda drags the body down. I would down super big gulps like they were going out of style. I reached 200lbs for the first time in my life and I'm not fat, though I have a gut. I made the choice to start drinking water all the time. I wasn't aware that too much was bad. I exercise so I sweat it out a lot. Isn't that healthy to do if you want to drink so much of it?

I think you are to drink plenty of water when you have no health problem with your kidneys, to keep the kidneys healthy. If you had a kidney problem, you should be more careful about your water intake.
