6. Cut Back On Soda and Other Sugars

Drinking too much soda and other sugary drinks can increase the risk of kidney stones. This is because these drinks contain high amounts of sugar and phosphoric acid, which can contribute to the formation of stones. The American Heart Association recommends no more than 36 grams of sugar per day for men, and 25 grams for women. For reference, one regular-sized can of Coke contains 32 grams of added sugar.

Instead, try drinking water or other low-sugar beverages like tea or sparkling water. Consider coffee instead of sugary caffeine-filled drinks.
