According to research, experts have discovered that some foods cause kidney stones.
Medianews.az reports that foods causing kidney stones need to be removed from the daily diet. So, which foods cause kidney stones?
Oxalate acid: Oxalate is one of the main components of kidney stones. Foods rich in oxalate may increase the risk of stone formation. For example, spinach, beetroot, cocoa, and chocolate may contain high amounts of oxalate.
Animal protein foods: Excessive intake of animal protein can increase the levels of calcium, uric acid, and oxalate in urine. This increases the risk of kidney stone formation.
Salt: A diet high in salt can increase calcium levels in the urine and promote kidney stone formation.
Sugary drinks: Due to their high fructose content, they can increase uric acid levels and increase the risk of kidney stones.
Vitamin C: Excessive intake of vitamin C increases oxalate accumulation in urine. This also causes the formation of kidney stones. (Axşam.az)
