Kidney Stones: Avoid These Foods to Prevent Formation
- •Processed foods, high in sodium, increase calcium excretion, raising stone risk.
- •Foods rich in oxalate like spinach, beetroot, and chocolate combine with calcium to form stones.
- •Excessive meat consumption elevates uric acid and reduces citrate, promoting stone formation.
- •Overconsumption of dairy products can increase body calcium, potentially harming kidneys.
- •Caffeine and alcohol lead to dehydration, concentrating urine and increasing stone risk; cool drinks with fructose also contribute.
Why It Matters: Limiting processed foods, high-oxalate items, excessive meat, dairy, caffeine, and alcohol helps prevent kidney stones.
