Kidney Stone Diet

Today, I am going to talk about kidney stones in detail, and also the nutrition needed to have healthy kidney stones. A kidney stone is a medical condition in which a stone is formed in your kidney, which causes pain, and there is a weak flow of urine. This problem commonly occurs between the ages of 20 to 40. The kidney stone is in the shape of a stone. Look at the image below for a better understanding. When the stone is made in the kidney and stuck in the urinary track it cause the pain after passing through thr urine track in goes in bladder and then come out with urine this is depend upon the size of your kideny stone will stone in your kidney come out with urine naturally or you need special treatment is depend upon the size of youe kidney stone if your kidney stone size is less than 4 milimeter then it will come out natrally If it is 4 millimetres, then there is an 80% chance of coming out through urine. If it is 5 millimetres, then there is a 20% chance, but if it is more than 5 millimetres, then it is very difficult to pass through the urinary tract. Why does stone form in our kidneys? reasons Dehydration You don’t give enough fluid to your body, not drinking enough water, or ignoring water, whether your diet is normal, having a normal lifestyle, but not drinking enough water, at that time your body starts to form stones in your kidneys your body will become dehydrated then most of the mineral especially calcium store in the form of kidney stones later on will have the problem of kidney stones There are two types of kidney stones Calcium oxalate Uric acid CALCIUM OXALATE If you check the people with kidney stones, 80% people have suffered because of the calcium oxalate. If your diet has more calcium, calcium is a mineral. Now you’re drinking less water tthanbody starting to make calcium oxalate in your kidneys in the form of a stone. What will be the size of the stone depends slowly, slowly starting to form, and when its size becomes bigger than you start to feel pain, then you find out you have a kidney stone. If there are more dairy products, more sodium, more sugar, these are more in your diet and less intake of water, then your body stores minerals in your kidneys in the form of kidney stones. To fix this this what you need to prevent is let’s talk about it In the kidney stone condition, you must not consume calcium to much your calcium consumption must be moderate You must not consume more than 1000 milligrams per day if you are taking a calcium supplement, then stop it, or if you take milk, yoghurt, ghee and cheese, then you must stop it URIC ACID The uric acid form in your diet is more diet high amounts of purine. If purine is more in your diet, then your kidneys will have difficulty flushing the liquid because of having more purine; your kidneys would not be able to flush the liquid, which is why purine becomes uric acid. The uric acid enters in joints inculing causing problems with kidney stones excess amount of uric acid can cause kidney damage or kidney stone problems, but the percentage is about 15 to 20. In short, all the people there is only about 15 to 30 % percentage having a stone condition because of uric acid If you have a kidney stone because of uric acid, then you need to avoid food containing purine, like animal meat, especially organs like liver, heart. Also, vegetables like cabbage, spinach, or beans doctor will tell you not to follow high high-protein diet because animal meat is high in purine. It does not mean not to eat protein. You can take high high-protein diet if you understand what I am saying is that you need to either eat animal meat in a moderate amount, like only one serving, or you can eat other foods for protein. SALT In the case of a kidney stone doctor often suggests to less low salt diet because excess salt excrete more calcium in the urine, which increases the calcium concentration and increases the chances of having a kidney stone If you have a kidney stone condition, you need to limit your sodium intake. You can take about 2.3 grams of sodium a day. If you do not have a kidney stone, then you can take up to 2 to 3 grams a day Whether you have a kidney stone or not, you must limit your sodium consumption. High-sodium diet leads to high blood pressure by causing the body to retain fluid, which makes the heart work harder, damaging blood vessels, thus increasing the risk of having several health problems, such as heart attack, stroke and kidney disease . Sodium causes fluid retention, which leads to puffiness and swelling, headaches, boneweakeningg and a risk of stomach cancer. This information is helpful for people with kidney stones with a size of 4 millimetres or less. If your size is bigger than 4 millimetres, then it’s better to consult a doctor, who will help with this condition. Al, so the above information helps to prevent kidney stones.
