Stay well-hydrated – Drink plenty of water throughout the day to dilute urine and reduce stone formation.
Limit salt intake – High sodium increases calcium in urine, raising the risk of stones.
Moderate animal protein – Reduce red meat, poultry, and eggs to prevent uric acid and calcium stones.
Eat calcium-rich foods wisely – Get calcium from food (not excessive supplements) to bind oxalate in the gut and prevent stones.
Avoid high-oxalate foods in excess – Limit spinach, beets, nuts, and chocolate if prone to calcium oxalate stones.
