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!).
Drink plenty of water and other fluids. Fluid intake will make you urinate, and urination will eventually help you pass the kidney stone. Pure water is the best. Only one or two out of 10 kidney stones will require more than drinking lots of water and waiting, so make sure that if you do anything, you do this. The Institute of Medicine recommends that women drink about nine cups (2.2 liters) of fluids per day. Men should drink about 13 cups (3 liters) of fluids per day.
