Preventing kidney stones involves a combination of lifestyle changes and dietary adjustments. Here are some key tips:
 
  1. Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps flush out minerals and salts that can lead to stone formation.
  2. Limit Sodium Intake: High sodium levels can increase calcium in your urine, raising the risk of stones.
  3. Maintain a Balanced Diet: Include fiber-rich foods, fruits, and vegetables to help regulate mineral levels.
  4. Avoid Excessive Animal Protein: Consuming too much animal protein can elevate uric acid and calcium levels.
  5. Limit Oxalate-Rich Foods: If you are prone to oxalate stones, reduce foods like spinach, beets, and rhubarb.
  6. Get Enough Calcium: Adequate calcium intake helps bind oxalate in the gut, lowering the risk of stone formation.
  7. Maintain a Healthy Weight: Obesity is linked to an increased risk of kidney stones.
  8. Manage Underlying Conditions: Conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and gout can contribute to kidney stones.
