How Not To Get
Stoned
7 solutions
for keeping your kidneys clean
Painful kidney stones are
common nowadays thanks to our lifestyle of acidic diets. These small,
stone-like crystals form in the urinary system, which is responsible for removing
all toxins from our body while retaining essential minerals and salts.
An acidic diet means the
body has to release certain salts in the fluids to ensure a measure of
alkalinity. Over time, this compensation reaches a point when the salts start
concentrating as stones. Kidney stones can be a combination of calcium,
oxalates and uric acid.
Here’s how you can avoid formation of kidney stones:
Keep yourself well
hydrated with plain water to keep the urine and kidney pH levels healthy.
Acidic beverages like
fizzy drinks, alcohol, tea and coffee must be limited, as their oxalates
increase the body’s propensity for kidney stones.
Eat calcium-rich foods
like curd and paneer with peanuts, spinach and beetroot, so that the calcium
and oxalates can bind in the stomach.
Consult your doctor if
you take bodybuilding supplements to avoid overloading your kidneys. Consume
barley in the form of barley water, sattu and atta, as it is
good for the kidneys.
Drink lemon juice, shikanji and coconut water as they
help make the body alkaline. Also, vegetable juices taken on an empty stomach
have the same effect.
