11 lines of defense from kidney stone

1. Drink lots of water

Regardless what kind of stone you have had. The most important thing is to increase water consumption. When you drink water it dilutes the urine and helps to prevent high concentrations of those salts and minerals that form stones. You should drink 3-4 litres of water per day.

2. Keep a cap on your calcium

Out of all kind of stones most are made up of 92% of calcium or it’s products. If you are taking any calcium supplements then stop it. But it doesn’t mean to stop calcium intake completely. 2 glass of milk is enough to maintain calcium level in the body. So keep calcium intake in limit not eliminate.

3. Check you stomach medicines

You know most of popular antacids are high in calcium concentration. So if you are suffering from acidity along with kidney problems or kidney stone, just make sure your antacid shouldn’t be calcium based. You can go for another brand.

4. Don’t eat too many oxalate foods

As I already mentioned above you should avoid the foods rich in oxalate. About 60% of stones are known as calcium oxalate stones. When oxalate combines with calcium it forms calcium oxalate stones and start deposit over the surface of kidney. So keep in mind that you shouldn’t eat too much foods rich in oxalate. These include spinach, beans, beets, blueberry, celery, chocolate, grapes, green peppers, parsley, strawberry, summer squash and tea.

5. Try magnesium and B6

You know magnesium can perform the similar function as calcium. A daily supplement of magnesium decreases stone recurrence by 90%. The scientists speculate that magnesium works well because it can make bond with oxalate. But this bond is loosely connected and breaks automatically. It is less painful than calcium-oxalate bond. Vitamin B6 decreases the amount of oxalate in the urine, approximately 10 milligrams a day.

6. Eat Vitamin A rich foods

Vitamin A keeps maintain the shape and linings of urinary tract and helps in inhibition of future stones. Foods include potatoes, carrots, apricots, broccoli, cantaloupes, pumpkins, winter squash and beef liver. Don’t take vitamin a supplement without consulting your doctor. You know vitamin A is toxic in high doses.

7. Stay active

People who are lazy and don’t do any activity or work are tend to accumulate a lot of calcium in the bloodstream. Doing activities helps to pull calcium level back into the bones ,where it belongs. In short if you are prone to develop calcium stone you must do activities instead of sitting ideally. You can go for flying kites, bike riding, taking a walk etc.

8. Watch your protein intake

You will be shock to know but there is direct connection between the kidney stones and the amount of protein you eat. Protein may increase uric acid, calcium and phosphorus in the body, which also may lead to the formation od stones. Take protien in limited amount if you have chances of getting kidney stones.

If you are suffering from calcium stones, now it’s time to cut down on salt. You should decrease your salt consumption to 2 to 3 grams per day. Reducing your intake of table salt, pickled foods, and salty foods such as luncheon meat, snack chips and processed cheese.

10. Take a look at vitamin C

It is highly unlikely that you consume this much vitamin C in your diet. So don’t take high potency of vitamin C.

11. Don’t get too much vitamin D

Excess amount of vitamin D can lead to excess calcium in all parts of the body. You should never get more than the RDA of 400 international units of vitamin D.

Medical alert in kidney stones
