Kidney Stone Prevention

Stay hydrated – Drinking excess water is important to prevent kidney stones. An individual must drink at least 3 liters of water each day or consume enough fluid to prevent dehydration. This increases the fluid concentration in the urine which can also flush out the small stones from the body. Not drinking excess water can decrease the concentration of fluid in the urine resulting in the accumulation of toxic wastes. Citrus juice like lemonade, orange juice, etc. can also help prevent kidney stones.

Consume less sodium – A high salt diet can increase the risk of calcium stones. The urology care foundation reveals that too much salt in the urine can prevent calcium from being reabsorbed from the urine to the blood, which increases the risk of kidney stones. Urologists recommend limiting sodium consumption to 2,000 mg (almost half a tablespoon) in a day. If you have had calcium stones in the past, the sodium intake must be reduced to 1,500 mg daily. In addition, a low-sodium diet is also good for a healthy heart and blood pressure. Here are some food items that can contain excessive sodium – 

• Canned soups
• Canned vegetables
• Processed foods such as chips
• Foods that contain monosodium glutamate, sodium nitrate, or sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)

Avoid calcium-rich supplements – Since calcium stones are among the most common stones, people often believe that they should avoid calcium. However, natural sources of calcium such as low-fat milk, cheese, and yogurt are all good for your body. Consuming excess calcium supplements can increase the risk of stones. 

Consume less animal protein – Kidney stones are also associated with excess consumption of animal protein that increases the uric acid content in the body. An increased amount of uric acid may lead to the formation of uric acid stones and some oxalate stones. In addition, an excess amount of animal protein decreases citrate levels which restrict the production of stones. Low citrate levels increase the risk of developing stones. However, urologists recommend daily consumption of not more than 85 grams of meat in each meal, if you still wish to consume meat. Therefore, avoiding eating beef, poultry, fish, pork, etc. in excess amounts can prevent kidney stones.
