Urinary Stones (Kidney Stones) - How to prevent?

You may reduce your risk of developing kidney stones if you:
  • Drinking water. You should drink enough water to produce light and clear urine.
  • Reduce intake of oxalate-rich foods. These include spinach, sweet potatoes, nuts, tea, chocolate, and soy products.
  • Reduce salt and protein in your diet.
  • Continue eating calcium-rich foods, but use caution with calcium supplements. You may reduce the risk of stone formation by taking supplements with meals. Diets low in calcium can also increase kidney stone formation in some people. If in doubt, please consult your doctor or a dietician.
