Kidney stones are serious and very painful. If you have never experienced kidney stones than you saved yourself the discomfort. These meal and juice recipes are not only mouthwatering but are also packed with essential nutrients that our body needs to help prevent the formation of kidney stones and even help break them down.Most kidney stones are created when the urine becomes concentrated with crystal-forming substances such as calcium, oxalate, sodium, phosphorous, and uric acid. To counteract these stone promoters, several factors present in the urine act to inhibit stone formation. The factors include: amount of urine excreted, the amounts of citrate, magnesium, pyrophosphate, phytate, and other proteins and molecules that are derived from normal metabolism. These inhibitors help eliminate crystals before they attach to the kidney walls and grow into larger stones. Kidney stones can be prevented by drinking a lot of fluid. Including citrus beverages in your diet increases citrate levels in the body. Citrate helps by blocking the formation of stones. Getting too little calcium can cause oxalate levels to rise and cause kidney stones. A diet rich in calcium is beneficial, while vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium properly. A high-protein diet increases the level of uric acid that can promote kidney stone formation. A high-salt diet should also be avoided. Lastly foods high in oxalates and phosphates such as chocolate, coffee, and tea should be avoided. Don't wait to have kidney stones. Prevent or eliminate them using these delicious recipes. Make sure to try them all so that you can find your favorite ones.
book “Kidney Stone Diet Cookbook” by Dr. Patrick Hamilton. This book is not only filled with gibberish (language misuse for whole paragraphs that don’t make sense), but it is also filled with advice that is actually contrary to numerous reputable resources. It gives several recipes that include foods to be avoided, that are clearly outlined as such in the literature and even in the author’s own book! I bought this for ideas to help my husband to never go through another kidney stone ordeal only to find recipes that included foods that the doctors have said to avoid at all costs! I do not want to try to resell this book or donate it because it is full of bad advice and gibberish!
