Kidneys come in to play with the bladder around 3pm and is regarded as the Brain time. Starting at around 2pm your brain demands about 80% of the the glucose (or sugar) in your bloodstream. This is the optimal time of day for mental clarity and function. However most people feel a slump and crave sugar at this time because they haven’t eaten wisely enough before this time to create stable blood sugar levels. Avoiding stimulants, eat protein with each meal, drink adequate amounts of water and exercise to prevent this slump in energy. 5-7 p.m. — Kidney — Filters blood and maintains proper chemical balance of blood based on nutritional intake of the day.
