In time for National Kidney Month in March, experts from the National Kidney Foundation offered the following tips to help prevent the formation of kidney stones:
Drink plenty of fluids. Ideally, consume at least 68 ounces daily.
Choose water. Although water is best, water mixed with sugar-free lemon or lime juice is another good option.
Eat fruits and vegetables. It’s also important to limit high-fat dairy, salt and animal protein.
Follow through on treatment. Work with your doctor to come up with a treatment strategy that works for you.
