The Best Diet to Avoid Kidney Stones

Why Diet Matters?

Your daily food choices directly influence urine composition—an unhealthy diet raises stone risk, while smart eating supports kidney stone prevention.

Drink More Water

Stay well-hydrated by drinking 2–3 liters of water daily—it helps flush out excess minerals and prevents kidney stone formation.

Cut Down on Salt

Excess sodium raises calcium levels in urine, increasing stone risk. Choose fresh foods and read labels to avoid hidden salt.

Don’t skip calcium—it binds oxalates in the gut, reducing stone risk. Eat dairy, almonds, leafy greens; avoid excess supplements.

Eat Calcium-Rich Foods

Oxalates can bind with calcium in the urine to form stones. Limit oxalate-rich foods and pair them with calcium sources.

Limit Oxalate-Rich Foods

Reduce Animal Protein

Eating too much animal protein increases uric acid, raising kidney stone risk. Opt for plant-based proteins and limit meat, eggs, shellfish.

Watch Sugar & Soda

Sugary drinks and colas raise kidney stone risk due to high fructose. Choose water or citrus drinks to stay stone-free.

Add Citrate-Rich Foods

Lemons, oranges, and limes are rich in citrate, which binds calcium and helps prevent stones. Drink lemon water daily naturally.

Stay hydrated, eat balanced meals, limit salt, sugar, red meat, include calcium wisely, and consult your doctor for guidance.
