BY DR. KHOOBSURAT NAJMA<\/b><\/p>\n

Recent studies have shown that kidney stone rates are on the rise. But did you know that <\/span>kidney stones are easily preventable? Let’s start by understanding,<\/span><\/p>\n

What are Kidney Stones?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Kidney stones form when your urine contains more crystal-forming substances \u2014 such as calcium, oxalate and uric acid than the fluid in your urine can dilute<\/span> \u00a0<\/span>Calcium oxalate stones<\/b> are the most common type of kidney stones. Other types include <\/span>calcium phosphate stones, uric acid stones, <\/span>struvite stones and <\/span>cysteine stones. <\/span><\/p>\n

How to prevent Kidney Stones?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Here are some simple ways by which you can prevent kidney stones naturally:<\/span><\/p>\n

1 . Take plenty of fluids<\/b><\/h4>\n

Drinking enough fluids each day is the best way to help prevent most types of kidney stones. <\/span><\/p>\n

– Doctors recommend around 2 to 3 liters of fluid a day<\/span><\/p>\n

– You can tell how diluted your urine is by looking at its color. The darker your urine is, the more concentrated it is<\/span><\/p>\n

– Make sure that you drink more when it is hot or when you are exercising to replenish fluids lost through sweating<\/span><\/p>\n

2 . <\/span>Restrict Sodium\/Salt Intake<\/b><\/h4>\n

Sodium, often from salt, causes the kidneys to excrete more calcium into the urine. High concentrations of calcium in the urine combine with oxalate and phosphorus to form stones.\u00a0<\/span>Limiting salt intake can help prevent kidney stones.<\/span><\/p>\n

3 . Avoid Oxalate Forming Foods<\/b><\/h4>\n

People prone to forming kidney stones should avoid consuming foods rich in oxalates. These include spinach, rhubarb, peanuts, almonds, strawberries, chocolates.<\/span><\/p>\n

4 . Continue Taking Calcium Rich Foods<\/b><\/h4>\n

Calcium from food does not increase the risk of calcium oxalate stones. In fact, a<\/span>\u00a0diet low in calcium actually increases one’s risk of developing kidney stones. <\/span>It prevents oxalate from entering the blood, and then the urinary tract, where it can form stones. <\/span><\/p>\n

– Work to pair calcium-rich foods with oxalate-rich foods.<\/span> Besides calcium is essential for bone health<\/span><\/p>\n

– Calcium supplements however should be used with caution and only after doctor\u2019s approval<\/span><\/p>\n

5 . Limit Animal Protein<\/b><\/h4>\n

Red meats contain purines, which break down into uric acid in the urine. Foods especially rich in purines include organ meats, such as liver.\u00a0<\/span>People who are prone to form uric acid stones should limit their meat consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n

6 . Exercise, Exercise, Exercise!<\/b><\/h4>\n

You’re more prone to kidney stones if you stay sedentary for a long period of time. <\/span><\/p>\n

– Limited activity can cause your bones to release more calcium. <\/span><\/p>\n

– Exercise will also help you to regulate your blood pressure which if raised may double your risk for kidney stones<\/span><\/p>\n
