The appearance of kidney stones is a serious problem.
Formation can take from several months to several years. At the same time, pain may bother, and there is also a risk that the person will need surgical intervention.
Therefore, experts recommend adding foods to your diet that will prevent the problem from occurring.
This is especially important for those who are at risk.
In this case, we are talking about smokers, diabetics, as well as those who suffer from high blood pressure and excess weight.
MedicalXpress writes more about this, citing the words of US nephrologist Ivan Porter.
In this case, as the doctor noted, it is important to add fruits and vegetables with a high water content to the diet. For example, tomatoes, cucumbers. You can pay attention to watermelons, etc.
The doctor also warned about products that can provoke the appearance of kidney stones. In his opinion, these are protein animal products, as well as greens. You do not need to give them up completely, but it is enough to reduce their amount in the menu.
