Urinary calculus is a common and frequently-occurring disease. Scientific research evidence shows that the etiology of urinary system stones is complex, which is often the result of multiple factors such as natural environment, diet habits, family genetics or some diseases. Hot weather, dry climate, high water quality, unbalanced diet and abnormal metabolism of uric acid, cystine and other substances in the body may lead to the occurrence of stones.
Most people who have kidney stones or other urinary stones believe that "since most stones contain calcium, we should try not to take calcium". In response, Zhang Bao said that long-term insufficient calcium intake may lead to osteoporosis in the human body. You should still take the amount of calcium you need daily, and try to get calcium from dairy products, tofu and small fish. For people with high oxalic acid content in their urine, they should eat less almonds, beets, celery, spinach and other foods; Patients with high uric acid content in urine should reduce the intake of animal viscera, poultry skin, herring, sardine and anchovies.
Experts said that the best way to prevent stones is to drink more water and maintain a urine volume of at least 2.0 to 2.5 liters per day, which is beneficial to prevent stones of any composition type. Drink more boiled water and mineral water instead of strong tea, coffee, cola and other drinks. In addition, distribute drinking water evenly throughout the day, instead of drinking in a concentrated way at one time and not touching water at another time.
