If you're prone to kidney stones then, that means you need to make some adjustments in your diet!.
1)!. Reduce the amount of refined carbohydrate in your diet!. (pastries, and manufactured sweet stuff!.) The consumption of refined carbohydrates, especially sugar, can help precipitate kidney stones, because the sugar stimulates the pancreas to release insulin, which in turn causes extra calcium to be excreted in the urine!.
2)!. Increase the amount of pure water that you drink!. Drink 8 - 10 eight ounce glasses of water each day!. If your urine volume is too little, or there is a high volume of uric acid in your urine then you'd be prone to kidney stones!.
3)!. Increase the consumption of alkaline forming foods!. These include citrus fruits and some forms of other fruits and vegetables!. This link will give you a list of foods that are alkaline forming (alkaline foods) - http://www!.essense-of-life!.com/info/food!.!.!. If your body is too acidic, then you tend to be prone to forming stones!. You should be eating at least 60% vegetables and 20% fruits!. Grapefruit is especially good for stone formers to consume!. It is important to have several glasses of grapefruit juice per day!.
4)!. You will also need to increase your source of zinc in your diet!. These are kelp, legumes, lima beans, mushrooms, pecans, oysters, pumpkin seeds, seafood, sunflower seeds parsley, and whole grains!. You may also supplement your diet with zinc supplement!. For best absorption it is recommended that you use cold RX which has 25mg of zinc in each lozenges, zinc gluconate lozenges or OptiZinc!. Zinc is an important inhibitor of crystallization!. You should not exceed 100mg of zinc supplement per day!. It is o!.k!. to take the maximum recommended dosage of 100mg/day!.
