Having kidney stones can indeed be quite painful. The best prevention is always to drink plenty of fluids, ideally water. This habit will help your kidneys to form urine and eliminate minerals and other substances before they have time to bind and form crystals.

The results indicate that the more overweight people are, the more likely they are to develop kidney stones. In fact, women who gain nearly 15 kg during adulthood have up to 75% more risk of developing kidney stones than those who have not gained weight. For men, the same amount of extra weight increases their risk by 40%. This is not surprising, since overweight people excrete more calcium and doxalates through the kidneys, which contributes to the risk of lithiasis.

For a long time, it was thought that too much calcium intake could be directly linked to the development of kidney stones, but this is no longer the case. In fact, a high intake of dietary calcium could even be preventive. So there is no reason to give up dairy products. If calcium is taken in supplement form, it is important to take it with food.

Also, if you are diabetic, better control of your blood sugar is an asset. Also reduce your salt intake and avoid high doses of vitamin C (increases the risk to more than 2g per day)
