Diet can prevent kidney stones

Health: Whole foods and diet can prevent kidney stones.

Painful kidney stones can be prevented by a special diet, as determined by an American study. The healthy diet consisted mainly of vegetables, low-fat dairy products and fruits. The composition of the diet was actually designed to lower high blood pressure. Renal colic as a result of kidney stones can cause severe and severe pain.

According to a US study, a fat-reduced and herbal diet can protect against the formation of kidney stones. The diet plan has been specially developed to lower high blood pressure. Over the course of the study, it was discovered that not only could the diet be used to lower blood pressure, but it also prevented the formation of health-threatening crystals in the kidney. The diet consisted mainly of vegetables, fruits, low-fat dairy products and whole-foods. The consumption of sweetened sweet drinks, sausages and red meats such as beef or lamb was banned during the study. A peer group continued to feed „normal“.

During the study, the amount of urine excreted was measured. Although all subjects consumed the same amount of drink, those taking more urine excreted those who followed the nutritional plan. In addition, the urine contained a higher proportion of the active ingredient citrate. The natural substance citrate has been proven to protect against kidney stones and prevents acute renal colic. Also the blood pressure could be lowered.

A total of 3,500 people participated in the Harvard University study. The results were in the trade magazine “Clinical Journal of the American Nephrology Society“ released. (sb, 19.09.2010)
