🧂 Kidney Stones? Your Diet Matters!
🔍 Key dietary tips for kidney stone prevention:
🥤 Stay Hydrated
Aim for at least 2.5 to 3 litres of water per day to keep urine diluted.
🧀 Limit High-Oxalate Foods
Reduce spinach, beetroot, almonds, and chocolates if you have calcium oxalate stones.
🧂 Cut Down Salt
Less salt = Less calcium in urine. Stick to less than 5g/day of salt.
🥩 Moderate Animal Protein
Too much red meat, eggs, or fish can raise uric acid levels.
🥛 Don’t Avoid Calcium
Get your calcium from food—not supplements. Low-calcium diets can actually increase stone risk!
🍋 Add Citrate-Rich Foods
Lemons, oranges, and other citrus fruits may help prevent stone formation.
✅ Urology Tip: Every stone type is different—get your stone analysed and consult a urologist for a tailored plan.
