Speaking of eating stones due to improper diet, many people think of gallstones.

Indeed, improper diet is an important cause of hepatolithiasis. What many people don't know is that besides hepatolithiasis, urinary calculi are also closely related to diet.

Are urinary stones really "eaten"?

The formation of urolithiasis is related to many factors, such as climate, diet, genetic factors, anatomical structure, abnormal metabolism and so on, among which diet is closely related to our lifestyle.

some data also show that with the development of economy and the improvement of people's living standards, people's diet structure is constantly changing, and the incidence of urinary calculi has also shown an obvious upward trend.

The high incidence of urolithiasis may cause severe pain to patients due to acute attack of calculi, or even cause obstruction of kidney, ureter, bladder and urethra, leading to hydronephrosis, renal atrophy, impaired renal function, urinary infection, and even uremia, which has a great impact on patients' physical health and mental health, and brings heavy economic burden to patients' families.

Since urinary calculi are so harmful, is there any way to prevent them effectively? Combined with the above factors of urinary calculi formation, it is undoubtedly the simplest and most direct preventive method to adjust our daily diet reasonably.

Many common foods in our life may cause a high incidence of urinary stones, so we can't eat more of these foods no matter how delicious they are.

11 foods with high sugar content

There is evidence that the calcium ion concentration, oxalic acid concentration and urine acidity in urine will increase after the human body ingests a large amount of sugar, which means that sugar can boost the risk of urinary calculi. Therefore, we should try to drink less sugary drinks and eat less cakes, chocolates, sweets and so on.

12 foods with high oxalic acid content

At present, about 78% of urinary stones in China are calcium-containing stones, especially calcium oxalate stones. Controlling the intake of oxalic acid is also of obvious significance to reduce the incidence of urinary stones. Spinach, sesame paste, strawberries and other common foods are rich in oxalic acid, so we should pay attention to them in our daily diet.

13 high purine food

high purine food may not only lead to the increase of uric acid, but also be an important factor leading to urinary calculi. Animal offal and most seafood are high purine foods, which we should pay attention to control in our life.

14 High-salt food

The main component of the salt we often eat is sodium chloride. A large amount of salt intake will lead to an increase in the content of sodium ions in our bodies, which will lead to an increase in the content of calcium in urine, which is more likely to precipitate with oxalic acid and uric acid in urine, leading to a greater risk of urinary stones. Therefore, we should pay attention to the intake of high-salt foods such as ham, sausage and pickles in our diet.

15 High-fat food

Fat will reduce the bound calcium in the intestine and increase the absorption of oxalate. Long-term intake of high-fat diet is also an important reason for the high incidence of urinary calculi, so although delicious foods such as braised pig's feet, hot pot and boiled white are delicious, you should never eat more.

16 High-protein food

Excessive intake of high protein foods will increase calcium, oxalic acid and uric acid in kidney and urine. If the excess calcium, oxalic acid and uric acid cannot be excreted in time, it will lead to kidney calculi and ureteral calculi. It is generally suggested that the daily intake of protein should be 1~1.2 (g/kg body weight), and long-term excessive intake of protein is harmful to health.

Improving dietary structure is an important means to prevent urinary calculi, but not all of them. It is also of great significance to ensure adequate drinking water every day, keep a regular life, not hold your urine, not sit for a long time, stay away from alcohol and tobacco, and exercise regularly.

At the same time, we should pay attention to the fact that timely treatment can avoid the health risks caused by urinary stones to the greatest extent. If patients with urinary calculi have symptoms such as hematuria, renal colic and low back pain, they should seek professional help from doctors in a professional hospital in time and treat them in time without delay.
