If you've ever heard anyone's horror stories about kidney stones then you'll pray that you never get them.
The pain is unbearable. People tend to think that kidney stones come from drinking too much soda, but surprisingly they can also come from foods that you eat. When people talk about kidney stones you think that it's one type of kidney stone when actually there are four different types of stones. Calcium stones are the most common type of stones, the others are Struvite stones, Uric acid stones, and Cystine stones, this type of stone is very rare. Some stones can be dissolved with medication, while others require surgery to be removed from being stuck in your urethra tube during the passing stage.
Foods that can cause kidney stones are beets, chocolate, spinach, rhubarb, and most nuts to name a few. You'll also want to avoid foods with too much calcium and protein. Make sure you drink plenty of water every day eat less salt and, most of all eat healthy to avoid the discomfort of having kidney stones, take it from someone who knows.
