Caffeine

The caffeine makes you urinate more frequently, which can lead to dehydration and kidney stones.

Sodium

A high sodium intake can promote calcium buildup, which leads to kidney stones.

Vitamins C

Excess vitamin C can also have negative effects on your body, leading to nausea and diarrhoea.

Spinach

Eating spinach makes your stones more painful and less likely to break, so you must avoid consuming spinach.

Animal protein

Animal protein, found in red meat and seafood, should wither be out or have limited intake, as it's a contributing factor to kidney stones.

Soft drinks

You should absolutely avoid drinking these aerated drinks because they contain phosphate that promotes the formation of kidney stones.

Rhubarb (रेवंदचीनी)

Rhubarb contains high levels of oxalic acid, which is extremely dangerous for kidney stones.

Berries

Although berries have health benefits, eating them can be dangerous for kidney stone patients because they speed up the growth of stones in our bodies.

Added Sugar

Adding more sugar to your diet results in more calcium absorption and less urine production, thus speeding up kidney stone formation.

Soy Products

Large amounts of oxalate are present in soy, and this compound can bind to calcium as it passes through the kidneys, resulting in the formation of kidney stones.
