The National Kidney Foundation has warned that what we drink on a daily basis can have a significant impact on our kidney health, even if we don't immediately feel the effects. Our kidneys play a crucial role in filtering waste products, balancing fluid levels and regulating electrolytes to maintain overall health, and what and how much we consume can directly influence these critical functions.

The components of our daily liquid consumption can have a profound impact on kidney health, even if the effects aren't immediately noticeable. Kidneys play a pivotal role in filtering waste, balancing fluid levels, and regulating electrolytes to ensure overall well-being.

What and how much you drink can directly influence critical kidney functions. For instance, adequate plain water intake supports glomerular filtration, where blood is filtered in the kidneys, separating water, salts, and other small molecules from the blood into urine. Drinking too much or too little water is linked to worsened outcomes in chronic kidney disease.

The contents of our daily fluid intake can significantly affect kidney health, even if we don't immediately feel the consequences. Kidneys are central in filtering waste products, balancing fluid levels and regulating electrolytes to maintain overall health. What and how much you drink can directly influence critical functions.

If you get a period, you may have noticed that your body feels…different…at various points in your monthly cycle. Some days, you might feel charged up and ready to go, while others you’re moving in slow motion. It would make sense that this ebb and flow might impact how you show up to tackle your fitness routine too. That’s the idea behind cycle-syncing workouts, or the practice of changing up your exercise routine according to what phase you’re at in your menstrual cycle.

You may not have the time to exercise during the week. If that's the case, a study has shown that meeting a minimum number of physical activity goals can provide the same health benefits as exercising only on the weekends.

Struggling to fit workouts into your busy week? You’re not alone. New research suggests that “weekend warriors” who pack at least 150 minutes of exercise into one or two days enjoy similar health benefits to those who spread workouts throughout the week. Both groups had reduced risks for over 260 diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, and mental health conditions, the findings showed.

You don’t need to be deep in the fitness world to have run into the idea that cardio “kills” muscle gains—as if every cycling class and or 3-mile run sends a little army of molecules through your body to chomp away at hard-earned muscle tissue. While it’s an entertaining image and a potentially convincing theory, the reality is that it’s not exactly true.
