About Los Olivos. Los Olivos is a secure gated community nestled in the hills of Upper Ajijic, just above (north) of La Floresta. It's a friendly neighborhood of 20 homes, and boasts a community pool and clubhouse area. It's extremely quiet, but is within walkiing distance of Ajijic centro (the central core and plaza).
This aqua regimen can also help shake loose existing kidney stones. The average stone takes 3-4 weeks to pass, but drinking plenty of fluids (not booze) can reduce your sentence. Like drinking water, exercise can help to both prevent and get rid of kidney stones. Recent studies suggest that the link between obesity and/or weight gain and kidney stones is very strong. Raising your heart rate for at least an hour a day can help ward off weight gain and even help you lose weight (STOP THE PRESS!).
Kidney stones. Kidney stones (renal lithiasis, nephrolithiasis) are small, hard mineral deposits that form inside your kidneys. The stones are made of mineral and acid salts. Kidney stones have many causes and can affect any part of your urinary tract â from your kidneys to your bladder. Often, stones form when the urine becomes concentrated, allowing minerals to crystallize and stick together. Passing kidney stones can be quite painful, but the stones usually cause no permanent damage. Depending on your situation, you may need nothing more than to take pain medication and drink lots of water to pass a kidney stone.
