9. Prevention of Kidney Stones
Most patients would agree that one kidney stone was more than enough. Prevention of future stones is possible with some small lifestyle changes:
- Drink plenty of water. Up to three quarts of fluids per day will help to increase urine output.
- Reduce your salt intake. Many snack foods and condiments contain high levels of sodium.
- Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, and reduce the amount of meat.
- Eat fewer oxalate-rich foods. These include rhubarb, beets, spinach, and almonds.
