The relationship between stones and diet is close. To prevent them from forming, pay attention to the following points in your diet:
1. You should drink plenty of water daily and develop the habit of drinking water. Drinking more water can increase urine volume, dilute crystals in the urine, and make them easier to excrete. At the same time, even small stones that have already formed can be flushed out of the urine early. Some scholars suggest drinking at least 2500 milliliters of water per day to keep the urine color light. If the local water supply has a high calcium content, it should be softened before drinking. Magnetized water is the best choice.
2. Do not overeat and limit excessive nutrition. Overeating usually involves a diet high in protein, sugar, and fat, which increases the risk of stone formation. Normally, you should eat more coarse grains and vegetarian food.
3. If you are a stone patient, after the stones are cured, for oxalate stone patients, to prevent recurrence, you should avoid foods high in oxalic acid, such as spinach, beets, shiitake mushrooms, potatoes, chestnuts, strong black tea, coffee, cocoa, chocolate, persimmons, and bayberries; if you are a urate patient, you should try to eat less foods high in uric acid, such as animal offal, seafood, coffee, cocoa, black tea, chocolate, and peanuts.
4. Try not to take or take as little as possible drugs related to stone formation, such as vitamin C, aspirin, and sulfonamides.
Paying more attention to the above points in your diet is of great significance in preventing the formation of stones.
