PREVENT KIDNEY STONES BY DRINKING MORE WATER
Drinking more water seems to be the best thing to do for a healthy life.
One of the benefits is prevention of a condition known as Kidney Stones.
Kidney stones are small, hard crystalline substances that form in your kidneys and will be found in your urinary system. The stones are made of calcium, acid salts and other minerals.
The stones are formed when these substances crystallise and stick together because your urine is concentrated and your body is dehydrated.
(This condition will later be discussed in detail)

Health care provision in Nigeria is a concurrent responsibility of the three tiers of government in the country.[1] However, because Nigeria operates a mixed economy, private providers of health care have a visible role to play in health care delivery. The federal government's role is mostly limited to coordinating the affairs of the university teaching hospitals, Federal Medical Centres (tertiary health care) while the state government manages the various general hospitals (secondary health care) and the local government focus on dispensaries (primary health care),[2] (which are regulated by the federal government through NPHCDA). The total expenditure on health care as % of GDP is 4.6, while the percentage of federal government expenditure on health care is about 1.5%.[3] A long run indicator of the ability of the country to provide food sustenance and avoid malnutrition is the rate of growth of per capita food production; from 1970–1990, the rate for Nigeria was 0.25%.[4] Though small, the positive rate of per capita may be due to Nigeria's importation of food products.
