What Are Kidney Stones?
Kidney stones, also known as nephrolithiasis, consist of
solid wastes that accumulate in the kidneys and form crystals. There are four
main types, but about 80% of all calculations are calcium oxalate stones. The
less common forms are struvite, uric acid, and cysteine. Although smaller
stones are generally not a problem, larger stones can cause a blockage in part
of the urinary system as they leave the body.
This can lead to severe pain, vomiting, and bleeding. Kidney
stones are a common health problem. Approximately 15-20% of people will develop
kidney stones during their lifetime. Once you get a kidney stone, studies show
that in 5-10 years you have up to a 50% chance of forming another stone.
What are the natural ways to reduce kidney stone?
Here are 3 natural ways in which you can reduce the risk of
forming another kidney stone.
So, today let's discuss regarding small changes that
actually, help in getting rid of the kidney stones.
1. Tea With Nettle Leaf
Nettle tea is most commonly used to help joints and relieve
the symptoms of seasonal allergies is also a powerful diuretic with
antibacterial properties. Drinking two to three cups of nettle leaf tea will
work wonders in removing minerals and toxins from the kidneys, stopping the
growth of existing stones and discouraging the formation of new stones while
helping to prevent urinary tract infections a known cause of kidney stones.
2. Kidney Beans
Similarly, red beans, so named because of their similar
shape and color to the organ of the same name, are also excellent for
clarifying kidney stones. Not only are beans very rich in fiber, but they are also
an excellent source of non-animal protein, B vitamins, and minerals that
improve the health of the urinary tract and kidneys. To get the most out of
your beans, boil them in water (avoid broth, salt, etc.) until they are tender
enough to be eaten.
3. Get Your Fiber
Many sources of vegetable protein also have the advantage of
being large sources of insoluble fiber, another effective way to stop the
growth of existing kidney stones and to prevent the formation of new kidney
stones. Insoluble fiber helps reduce calcium in the urinary tract by attaching
to the intestine. The calcium that flows through the stool means that fewer
minerals are available to crystallize in the kidneys. Some excellent sources of
soluble fiber are whole grains, legumes, fruits, and green vegetables.
