Sometimes exercise can make you feel more energetic if you have kidney problems, also it can control your blood pressure - and just gives you more energy to do the extra things that you want to do in life. Also physical activity can control your weight and make you sleep better as well.

I like this topic because I know of so many people who have problems with their kidneys. In fact, my father died of kidney failure when he refused to undergo dialysis treatment.
