Anxiety

I haven't been writing lately on my blog. A lot has happened this past month I don't even know where to start. One thing I have learned and I have realized is that a lot of people have anxiety. Me myself I suffer from anxiety and it is something a lot of people may not realize they have. Most people with anxiety tend to be more hyper and antsy than others. For example my brother suffers from being very hyper active and tends to want to do so many things all at once and doesn't even know where to begin. I am also the same way. The only difference between me and him is that we have different ways in trying to relax our selves and try to calm down. He tends to try and ease himself with things that he shouldn't be calming him self down with, doing that it starts to become an addiction and it can lead to worse things. Me in the other hand I have anxiety but not all the time like my brother. I tend to show my anxiety when I am about to start an interview for an employer or when I don't feel I am being productive or I want to achieve something and I try so hard that I mess up. Anxiety happens to all of us at one point in our lives and I feel it is something we should all learn about so we can try to be more relaxed in ways where it won't affect us. I am writing this because I feel I should share it and maybe it can help people. Basically what I am trying to say is my brother has always been very hyper since he was very little and when you are a child sometimes you disregard that your child is so hyper because you just think he or she is young and full of energy but they might always be that way and as they get older you can realize that they might have some sort of a problem and you can try to guide them in the right way and know how to help them from the start.

Kidney


The kidneys are a pair of organs located in the back of the abdomen. Each kidney is about 4 or 5 inches long -- about the size of a fist.
The kidneys' function are to filter the blood. All the blood in our bodies passes through the kidneys several times a day. The kidneys remove wastes, control the body's fluid balance, and regulate the balance of electrolytes. As the kidneys filter blood, they create urine, which collects in the kidneys' pelvis -- funnel-shaped structures that drain down tubes called ureters to the bladder.
Each kidney contains around a million units called nephrons, each of which is a microscopic filter for blood. It's possible to lose as much as 90% of kidney function without experiencing any symptoms or problems.

Spleen

The spleen is an organ in the upper left side of the abdomen. It filters the blood by removing old or damaged blood cells and platelets. It also helps the immune system by destroying bacteria and other foreign substances. The
spleen holds extra blood that can be released into the circulatory system if needed.
