In daily life, if you don't pay attention to your diet, it can lead to kidney stone attacks. In the most bustling festival nowadays, delicious wine and food, as well as various snacks, are a feast for the eyes. However, patients with kidney stones should pay attention, as diet and kidney stones are closely related.
Overnutrition is the "curse"
Foreign studies have found that residents in developed countries prefer to eat animal protein, fat and refined sugar, and their incidence rate of kidney stones is significantly higher. Chinese residents often eat spinach, beet, strong tea, etc., which is also prone to occur. It can be seen that the occurrence of kidney stones is also a "disaster from the mouth.".
Kidney stones "love" good eaters
With the improvement of the living standards of Chinese residents, there is an excessive intake of protein, and the formation of urinary stones is closely related to protein intake. Eating too much animal protein, such as pork, beef, chicken, and lamb, can increase urinary calcium, uric acid, and oxalic acid. Moreover, animal egg white belongs to acidic food, which can lead to a decrease in urinary pH, which can aggravate the precipitation of uric acid and form stones.
In daily diet, it is not necessary to "have a preference" for certain foods because they are delicious and have high nutritional value. It is necessary to pay attention to food matching. Even if it is found that the body lacks a certain nutrient and needs some food to supplement it, it is not advisable to eat frequently and in large quantities, as the body's digestion and absorption functions are limited, which creates space for "long stones" if they cannot be absorbed.
Drink plenty of water
Water can dilute urine and prevent high concentrations of salts and minerals from accumulating into stones. You can drink 30 milliliters of water in the morning and before going to bed, and drink at least 8 glasses of water per day.
Avoid foods containing calcium oxalate
60% of stones belong to oxalic acid stones, so it is necessary to eat less beans, beets, celery, chocolate, etc.
Control the intake of calcium and protein
Patients with kidney stones are limited to 180 grams of high protein foods per day, including meat, cheese, chicken, and fish.
Oligosalt
Eating too much salt (sodium) can increase the excretion of calcium in the urine. If there is too much calcium reaching the kidneys (please note, it is not because there is too much calcium ingested), it can increase the risk of kidney stones.
No milk before bedtime
Kidney stone patients should not drink milk before bedtime. After sleep, urine volume decreases and concentrates, and various tangible substances in urine increase. However, 2-3 hours after drinking milk, it is the peak of calcium excretion through the kidneys. Calcium suddenly increases through the kidneys in a short time, forming stones.
Weight control
Obesity increases the risk of kidney stones. Moderate exercise requires attention to hydration during exercise.
The disease is around you, as long as you take precautions, it will be far away from you. If you don't pay attention to it, it will "ride the clouds" and come to you, telling the "food" around you that you can love to eat, but you must learn to eat
