Kidney crystals are a precursor to kidney stones, which is the form of kidney stones before they turn into stones. If you are diagnosed with bilateral kidney crystals, you must seek treatment in advance to prevent them from deteriorating into kidney stones.

In addition, in daily life, we can also take some methods to strengthen the kidneys to prevent the occurrence of bilateral kidney crystals.

1. What is kidney crystal disease

Kidney crystals are a precursor to kidney stones, a non-contagious disease. Stones are closely related to diet. To prevent it from happening, you should pay attention to drinking more water. Because drinking more water can increase urine volume, dilute the crystals in the urine, and make it easier to excrete them from the body.

2. Precautions for producing kidney crystals

1. You should drink more water and develop a drinking habit. Because drinking more water can increase urine volume, dilute the crystals in the urine, and make it easier to excrete them from the body. At the same time, even small stones that have formed can be flushed out of the urine early. Some scholars pointed out that it is best to drink more than 2500 ml of water every day to maintain light urine color. If the local water source contains a high amount of calcium, you should pay attention to softening it before drinking.

2. Don’t eat too much and limit excess nutrition. Because eating and drinking too much usually leads to high-protein, high-sugar and high-fat diets, which will increase the risk of stone formation. You should eat more whole grains and vegetarian food in your daily life.

3. If you are a stone patient, after the stones are cured, for oxalate stone patients, in order to prevent the recurrence of stones, you should avoid eating foods with high oxalic acid content, such as spinach, beets, mushrooms, potatoes, chestnuts, strong black tea, coffee, cocoa, chocolate, persimmons and bayberries; if you are a urate patient, you should pay attention to eat less foods with high uric acid content, such as animal offal, seafood, coffee, cocoa, black tea, chocolate and peanuts.

4. Try not to take or take less medicines related to stones, such as vitamin C, aspirin, and sulfonamides.

3. Methods to strengthen kidneys

Whether a person is physically healthy is related to the strength of his kidneys. When the cold winter comes, the human body needs to have enough energy and heat to defend itself. If the kidney function is weak, it will experience symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, shortness of breath, weakness in the waist and knees, fatigue, urinary incontinence or urinary retention due to "insufficient firepower". This is kidney yang deficiency. Some people also have a lack of body fluid, which reduces the moisturizing and nourishing functions. The clinical manifestations are weight loss, soreness of the waist and knees, dizziness, tinnitus, dry mouth and throat, hot flashes, red cheeks, night sweats, short and yellow urine, etc. This is kidney yin deficiency.

There are many ways to nourish the kidneys and correct deficiency. Such as getting more sun exposure, eating more high-calorie foods and foods that warm and nourish the kidney yang, taking kidney-tonifying medicines, etc. However, based on the basic health theory of "life lies in movement", nourishing the kidneys and correcting deficiency through exercise is a positive measure worthy of promotion.
