Kidney's on the job.

"Detoxifying" the kidneys is not a concept that is widely supported by medical science in the way that "detox diets" or "kidney cleanses" are often marketed. Your kidneys are naturally designed to filter waste and toxins from your blood and excrete them through urine, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). Therefore, the best way to support your kidneys and ensure they function optimally is through adopting a healthy lifestyle that promotes overall well-being. [1, 2, 3]  

Here are the key elements to support healthy kidney function: 

1. Stay hydrated 

• Drink plenty of water to help your kidneys flush out waste products effectively. 

• Aim for 6-8 glasses of water per day, although this may vary based on your individual needs and health conditions. 

• Lemon water, cranberry juice (100% pure, unsweetened), and herbal teas can also contribute to hydration and may offer additional kidney-friendly benefits. [1, 3, 4, 5, 6]  

2. Maintain a healthy diet 

• Focus on a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. 

• Choose lean protein sources, like poultry, fish, and plant-based options like tofu and beans. 

• Limit your intake of high-sodium, high-sugar, and highly processed foods. 

• The National Kidney Foundation recommends (https://www.kidney.org/news-stories/10-common-habits-may-harm-your-kidneys) keeping sodium intake below 2,300 mg per day. 

• Incorporate foods known to be beneficial for kidney health, such as: 

 • Apples: High in fiber and anti-inflammatory compounds. 

 • Berries: Rich in antioxidants that protect against kidney damage. 

 • Cauliflower: High in vitamin C and fiber, low in potassium. 

 • Cranberries: May help prevent urinary tract infections. 

 • Garlic and Onions: Offer flavor without adding salt and have anti-inflammatory properties. 

 • Olive Oil: A healthy fat that can reduce inflammation. 

 • Certain Teas: Green tea and black tea may be associated with a lower risk of developing kidney disease. [1, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]  

3. Engage in regular physical activity 

• Exercise helps manage blood pressure, weight, and blood sugar, all important for kidney health. 

• Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week. [7, 12, 13, 14, 15]  

4. Limit alcohol and avoid smoking 

• Excessive alcohol consumption can dehydrate the body and strain the kidneys. 

• Smoking reduces blood flow to the kidneys and can worsen existing kidney damage. [7, 13, 16, 17, 18]  

5. Manage blood pressure and blood sugar 

• High blood pressure and diabetes are major risk factors for kidney disease. 

• Work with your doctor to manage these conditions effectively through lifestyle changes and/or medication. [13, 19, 20]  

6. Get enough sleep and manage stress 

• Adequate sleep and stress management are important for overall health, including kidney function. [7, 12]  

Important considerations 

• If you have pre-existing kidney disease or are concerned about your kidney health, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional or a renal dietitian before making significant dietary or lifestyle changes. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific needs and medical history. 

• Be wary of unsubstantiated claims about "kidney detoxes" and supplements, as these may not be effective and could potentially be harmful. It's crucial to rely on evidence-based strategies for maintaining optimal kidney health. [2, 3, 7, 9, 12, 21, 22]

Under Kansas law, political signs on private property are generally permitted during the 45-day period prior to an election and for two days following the election. This means that cities and counties, including Topeka, are restricted from regulating or prohibiting the placement or number of political signs on private property or the unpaved right-of-way during this timeframe. 

However, there are still some restrictions and regulations to consider. You must have the property owner's consent to place a political sign on private property. While signs are allowed in the unpaved right-of-way during the election period, they are generally not permitted in areas that could block a motorist's line of sight, particularly near intersections. Cities and counties can still regulate the size and setback distance of signs for safety reasons. Political signs cannot be attached to utility poles, traffic signs or signals, trees, stones, or fence posts. Additionally, state law prohibits placing political yard signs and other campaign materials within 250 feet of a polling location's entrance. Signs can be put up no earlier than 45 days before an election and must be taken down within 2 days after Election Day. 

For Topeka specifically, after the third day following an election, signs in residential areas cannot be larger than six square feet, while in other areas they can be up to 32 square feet. If a sign violates regulations, the city will issue a written notice to the candidate for removal within 3 days; otherwise, the sign may be impounded. Impounded signs are held for 10 business days before disposal. To reclaim a sign, the owner must pay outstanding fines, plus removal and storage fees. Intentionally damaging or removing another person's property, including yard signs, can be considered criminal damage to property and may result in fines or other penalties. 

In summary, although there's a period when cities and counties cannot ban political signs, it's essential to follow rules about location, safety, and removal, and always get the property owner's permission before placing signs on private property.
