Kidney stone patients: "Five Less and One More"

Kidney stones are a common disease. During the treatment period, we should pay attention to the principle of "five less and one more" in diet.

1. Eat less beef and mutton: Because beef and mutton contain more purine, which is easily decomposed into uric acid, one of the components of stone formation.

2. Eat less foods rich in vitamin C: because vitamin C will generate oxalic acid during metabolism in the body, thus promoting the formation of stones.

3. Eat less calcium-containing foods: because calcium is one of the main components of stones.

4. Eat less salt: because salt and calcium have a synergistic effect in the body and can interfere with the metabolic process of drugs for the prevention and treatment of kidney stones.

5. Eat less vegetables containing oxalate: because oxalate will combine with calcium in the body to form calcium oxalate and deposit as stones. Green vegetables contain more oxalate, especially spinach, so patients with kidney stones should eat less spinach.

6. Drink more water: Drink more than 3500ml of water every day to increase urine output, because increased urine output will prevent crystals from forming stones and depositing.
