What foods ought to I avoid if Im prone to
kidney stones?
5
  • Drink a lot of fluids, consume less sodium and
    eat a diet that includes calcium-rich foods.

6
  • The rest depends on the chemical composition of
    your stones.
  • More than ninety percent of stones contain
    calcium, usually in the form of Ca oxalate,
    calcium phosphate or Hydroxyapatite. Less often,
    stones are formed of acid or different chemicals.

7
  • Different types of stones can also occur within
    the same person. Since most stones contain Ca,
    doctors historically advised patients to limit
    the amount of Ca in their diets. It was a logical
    recommendation, but it was wrong. In the early
    1990s, a group of Harvard doctors followed for
    four years more than 45,000 men who had never had
    a kidney stone and came to a surprising
    conclusion

8
  • Diets that area unit high in calcium actually
    decreases the risk of kidney stones.
  • The group continued to follow these patients for
    14 years and again found that dietary calcium
    protected against stones, though the protective
    effect was evident only in men younger than
    60.Diets high in magnesium, potassium, and fluids
    also appeared to be protective. In 2005, the
    group expanded their analysis to more than
    240,000 patients.

9
  • They found that obesity and weight gain,
    particularly in women, increased the risk of
    stone formation.
  • This crystal rectifier them to study the DASH
    diet a diet high in fruits, vegetables, nuts
    and legumes, low-fat dairy products, and whole
    grains and low in sodium, sweetened beverages,
    and red and processed meats. The DASH diet is
    endorsed by the American Heart Association and
    the National Institutes of Health.

10
  • The Harvard cluster found that DASH decreased the
    risk of kidney stones.
  • Such dietary recommendations can easily become
    overwhelming. Fortunately, the American
    Urological Association makes it simple

11
Some Tips
  • Drink at least 2.5 liters about two-thirds of
    a gallon of fluids per day.
  • Limit sodium intake to 2,300 milligrams a day.
  • Consume 1,000 to 1,200 milligrams of dietary
    calcium a day.

12
  • A common misconception about fluids deserves
    special mention. Water is not the only fluid that
    protects against kidney stones. Water, coffee,
    tea, wine, alcoholic beverages, and orange juice
    all seem to be protective.

13
  • Soda and other sugary beverages, on the other
    hand, increase the risk of stone formation.
    Finally, check with your doctor, who offers
    specific recommendations depending on the
    chemical composition of your stones.
