Kidney Health / Stones

Kidney disease is on the rise in the U.S. - diabetes and excess use of over-the-counter drugs like ibuprofen and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drugs are the main reasons. Kidney disease is considered ‘silent’ because kidney function can decline without any apparent symptoms until quite a bit of kidney function is lost.

Therefore, it’s especially important to protect your kidneys, especially if you’ve been hard on them taking a lot (or even moderate amounts) of NSAIDs over the years. And, as mentioned diabetes takes its toll on the kidneys as well - elevated blood sugar starts to affect the smaller blood vessels (and the kidneys are full of them) sooner in the game.

KIDNEY STONE PREVENTION:

Preventing kidney stones involves adopting certain lifestyle behaviors and maintaining a balanced diet. Kidney stones are often formed due to a combination of factors, including dehydration, high intake of certain minerals, and an imbalance in the urine's chemical composition.

Here are some top lifestyle behaviors and nutritional guidelines to help prevent kidney stones:

Stay Hydrated
Limit Sodium Intake
Moderate Protein Intake (especially from animal sources)
Control Oxalate-Rich Foods
Ensure Adequate Calcium Intake
Consume a Balanced Diet (that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins and avoid excessive consumption of high-sugar and high-fat foods)
Limit Animal Protein (especially red meat)
Maintain a Healthy Weight (a combination of balanced diet and regular physical activity)
Moderate Caffeine, Alcohol High-Sugar Drinks Intake

Remember that individual susceptibility to kidney stones can vary based on factors such as genetics and medical history. If you've had kidney stones before or have specific medical conditions, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian for personalized recommendations.
