There are many reasons for the occurrence of diseases like kidney stones, so when treating such diseases, it is necessary to have a good understanding of them. In daily life, there are also many ways to prevent kidney stones, which also need to be recognized.

Kidney stones prevention methods:

Drink plenty of water

Regardless of the type of stones you have, the most important way to prevent them is to increase your water intake. Water dilutes urine and prevents high concentrations of salts and minerals from accumulating into stones. The appropriate amount of water to drink is enough to excrete 2 liters of urine a day. If you work under the hot sun all day, you need to drink 2 gallons of water.

Control calcium intake

About 50% of stones are formed from calcium or products containing calcium. If your last kidney stones were mainly composed of calcium, you need to pay attention to your calcium intake. If you are taking nutritional supplements, you should first consult your doctor whether they are necessary. The second is to check your daily intake of high-calcium foods, including milk, cheese, cream and other dairy products. Milk and antacids may cause kidney stones.

Eat more foods rich in vitamin A

Vitamin A is necessary for maintaining a healthy urinary tract lining and may also help prevent recurrence of stones. A healthy adult needs 5,000 units (Iu) of vitamin A per day. One cup of carrots provides 10,055 IU of vitamin A. Other foods rich in vitamin A include broccoli, apricots, cantaloupe, pumpkin, and beef liver. (Vitamin A is toxic in high doses. Therefore, you should seek medical advice before taking vitamin A supplements.)

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of the methods of preventing kidney stones. Therefore, when preventing such diseases, we can follow the above methods. However, it should be noted that when preventing such diseases, it must be done for a long time, not for a short time, as this will not be of any help to the human body.
