Easy Ways to Stop Kidney Stones Before They Start
Hello, I am Dr. Vishnu Agrawal. As a urologist in Ajmer, I see many patients suffering from kidney stones. The pain can be very bad. But the good news is that you can prevent kidney stones with some simple habits.
Kidney stones are hard deposits that form in your kidneys. They can cause sharp pain in your back or side. Many people think kidney stones just happen, but you can actually stop them from forming.
1. Drink More Water - The Best Prevention
Water is your number one defense against kidney stones.
- Why it works: Water makes your urine thin and stops minerals from sticking together to form stones.
- Simple rule: Drink enough water so your urine looks light yellow or clear all day.
- How much: Try to drink 8-10 glasses of water every day.
2. Eat Less Salt
Too much salt can cause kidney stones.
- Why it matters: Salt makes your kidneys remove more calcium into your urine. This calcium can form stones.
- What to do: Use less salt in cooking. Avoid salty snacks like chips and packaged foods.
3. Watch Your Animal Protein
Eating too much meat, chicken, and fish can increase stone risk.
- Simple tip: Try to have some meat-free meals each week.
- Balance: Eat more fruits and vegetables instead of only meat.
4. Limit Oxalate-Rich Foods
Some foods have high oxalate that can form stones.
- Foods to eat less: Spinach, nuts, chocolate, and tea.
- Important: You don't need to stop eating these completely. Just eat them in smaller amounts.
5. Get Enough Calcium from Food
This might surprise you, but you need calcium to prevent stones.
- Why: Calcium from food binds with oxalate in your gut, so it doesn't reach your kidneys.
- Best sources: Milk, yogurt, and cheese. Get calcium from food, not pills.
6. Stay Active
Regular exercise helps prevent stones.
- Simple start: Walk for 30 minutes daily.
- Why it helps: Exercise keeps your whole body healthy, including your kidneys.
