How to prevent kidney stone

Step One

Eat less meat. Due to increased intake of animal proteins, the incidence of kidney stones is 10 times more prevalent now than it was at the turn of the century.

Step Two

Drink plenty of fluids - one study has shown that people who drink more than 2 1/2 liters of water every day have almost a 40 percent decrease in the risk of developing a stone than those who drank less water.

Step Three

Limit consumption of grapefruit juice and cola drinks. Studies have shown that these may actually increase the risk of developing stones.

Step Four

Adopt a diet high in potassium and magnesium - these minerals decrease the likelihood of kidney stones.

Step Five

Talk to your doctor about taking supplements such as pyridoxine and magnesium. Taken together, these reduce oxalate, a mineral salt found in kidney stones.

Step Six

Limit your calcium and salt intake.
