HOW TO STAY YOUNG


1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight, and
     and height.  Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay
     'them'
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening,
     whatever. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's
     workshop.'
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person,
     who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are  
     alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love , whether it's family, pets,
     keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your  
     refuge.
 
c
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable,
     improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9.   Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next
       county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every
     opportunity.  AND ALWAYS REMEMBER
 : Life is not measured
     by the number of breaths we take, but   by the moments that take
     our breath away.

The effects of coffee on the kidneys



Coffee may be the most popular drink in the world. It contains a substance called caffeine. Caffeine can be naturally found not only in coffee but tea and chocolate. Medical practitioners usually add caffeine into pain relievers, migraine healers, etc. Caffeine is generally harmless but in some people, it has negative effects such as headaches, stomach upset, and jitters. For people with pre-existing kidney problems, coffee can also affect kidney function.
Here are the effects of coffee (or caffeine) on kidney function:

► Urinate more often. It is caused by diuretics effect of caffeine.

► Dehydration. Since coffee has diuretic effects, you have to make sure that your fluid intake is enough to prevent dehydration. Dehydration is harmful for the kidney because it can cause acute injury and promote infection on the kidney and also urinary system.

► Urinary incontinence. Coffee can increase the risk of urinary incontinence, especially if you drink more than 400 mg of caffeine a day.

► Kidney stones. Caffeine can increase urinary calcium levels. In a research, it was concluded that there was a moderate increase in the risk of developing kidney stones (especially calcium oxalate stones, the most common type of stones) after a significant caffeine consumption.

► Kidney disease. In a study, it is concluded that people with poly cystic kidney disease were more likely to develop larger cysts if they consume caffeine because caffeine can damage kidney function.
