Kidney stones are more common than you might think — and they can be very painful. The good news? Simple habits can help lower your risk.
💧 Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. You can also include citrus drinks like lemon or orange water, which may help prevent stones.
🥗 Eat a balanced diet: Focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. Limit salt, sugary drinks and highly processed foods, which can increase your risk.
If you experience symptoms like severe back or side pain, nausea, or blood in your urine, talk to your doctor.
Taking care of your kidneys is an important part of your overall health.
