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!).
Tea and Kidney Stones. According to LPI, risk of developing kidney stones decreases by 8 percent in women and 14 percent in men with every 8-ounce cup of tea consumed. However, LPI does not specify which type of tea, but green tea may be a good one to choose. A 2005 study in the Journal of Urology investigated the effects of green tea on kidney stone formation in Wistar rats, and found that the tea helped decrease calcium oxalate excretion and stone formation in the rats.
