States across the country will be changing their clocks forward on March 10 for daylight saving time. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) encourages homeowners to use this as a reminder to change their home’s smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector batteries.

Kidneys are your body’s way of filtering waste, water and other impurities from your blood. In addition to that, your kidneys perform other vital functions, such as controlling blood pressure and red blood cell production.

March is National Kidney Month, making it a great time to take charge of your health to lower your chances of developing kidney disease. Your kidneys filter your blood to remove waste and extra water to create urine.
