- Increase your fluid intake: Make sure you drink minimum 6-8 glasses of water every day. You can also consume caffeine-free drinks and non-alcoholic beverages, but if you have a tendency of forming kidney stones then avoid consuming decaffeinated tea. You can also consume watermelon as it contains the highest concentration of water when compared to other fruits.
- Less intake of vitamin C: An amount of VitaminC more than 3000 mgs per day can be a potent reason for the formation of kidney stones. Our body converts vitaminC into oxalate, which in turn leads in the build up of stones. But remember it is also an essential vitamin for the body. So, don't cut down on it completely.
- Increase the intake of vitamin A: It is beneficial for the urinary tract and reduces the formation of kidney stones. Food rich in vitamin A are carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, winter squash & broccoli. An excess of vitaminA can also be toxic as your body will not be able to excrete it; so, do not overeat it.
- Olive oil and lemon juice: Take the same amount of olive oil and lemon juice i.e. 2 oz, mix them and drink straight. Follow it with a glass of water. It will significantly decrease the stone pain and alleviate the formation of kidney stones.
- Some more juice
> Consume 1cup of juice prepared with radish leaves, twice a day.
> Take 3 slightly raw ladyfingers, cut them into thin long pieces and soak them overnight in 2ltrs of water. In the morning, take out the ladyfingers from the water and squeeze their juice into the same water. Drink the entire water after 1-2hrs.
- Consume less meat and fish: People with uric-acid stones, generally, have a diet rich in animal protein. This protein eventually builds up stones. Cut back on food high on protein such as fish roe, herring, mackerel, mussels, sardines and shrimp, wine, red meat and sweetbread.
