Almost every tenth person suffers from the formation of stones in the urinary system; they form in the kidneys and complicate the entire work of the excretory system.
Experts say that this disease does not appear on its own, it is provoked by various factors. Statistics show that the disease affects men more than women. Let's look at the products that can cause kidney stones?
How to recognize the first signs of stone disease? In most cases, stones are formed when there is an excess of substances in the body, such as calcium or phosphorus. Sand gradually accumulates in the urinary tract or kidneys.
Large stones provoke acute pain that radiates to the genitals. This disease also entails other symptoms: fever, nausea, bloody urine, chills, vomiting. But what is the cause of urolithiasis?
The occurrence of urolithiasis is provoked by many factors, including nutrition, heredity, chronic diseases of the genitourinary system, insufficient drinking regime, and other factors also influence: excess weight, digestive system disease, pathologies of the urinary tract, this includes excess consumption of food with a huge amount of salt, sugar and protein.
To overcome this disease, you need to follow a special diet from time to time, exclude products that contribute to the formation of stones, it is also important to combine them correctly. But that's not all, it is important to follow a drinking regime and not to neglect kidney diseases, which can become chronic.
There are many methods for removing salts that form in the kidneys, including the use of medicinal decoctions.
What dangerous foods that can cause kidney stones should be excluded from the diet?
Let's start with plant-based products - sorrel, spinach, rhubarb, because these products contain acid, it promotes the formation of stones.
For example, sorrel promotes the formation of stones. Many people may encounter this problem, since the use of antioxidants also provokes the formation of sand.
Experts recommend abstaining from several foods: cabbage, beets, strawberries, milk, celery. An overdose of ascorbic acid, especially pharmaceutically produced, can also have a detrimental effect on the genitourinary system.
To prevent the formation of stones, it is important that the body constantly receives normal amounts of B vitamins and magnesium; these elements eliminate excessive sand formation.
Not all types of fish are suitable for people suffering from urolithiasis.
For example, sardines contain purine, which causes sand to be retained in the urinary tract. Its excess also increases the content of uric acid, which settles in the kidneys and prevents the entire system from functioning normally.
Experts say that the combination of purine and animal proteins can trigger the disease even in a healthy person who has never encountered such a problem.
For this reason, each person should limit the consumption of sardines, especially canned ones, to 1 time per week. In addition, purine is also found in such foods as calf liver, tuna in oil, trout, beer, anchovies.
Red meat. Eating it can cause stones. This is because meat contains a large amount of animal protein.
When the body begins to digest this product, nitrogen is formed, it leads to the formation of toxins that negatively affect the metabolic system and can even lead to the accumulation of fatty tissue. To avoid such an effect, you need to exclude this meat from your diet and eat it several times a month.
Soda. Many people like it, juices in bags, bottles, various types of energy drinks also bring harm, all this has a very negative effect on the health of the body, not only on the urinary system, but also on all organs, and the digestive organs suffer especially.
These drinks contain phosphate acid, which not only corrodes the stomach, but also causes changes in the urinary system, which leads to chronic diseases. People who drink a lot of sweet drinks are at risk and are most often exposed to the disease.
Carbohydrates. Sugar, rice, baked goods provoke insulin surges in the blood. Excess sugar in the blood provokes unstable functioning of the kidneys and urinary system. Which subsequently leads to disruption of their functioning and formation of stones.
