According to News 99, kidney stones are closely related to diet. Therefore, treatment for kidney stones can begin with dietary changes. Patients with kidney stones should note the following basic points:

Avoid drinking milk before bed.

Milk is rich in calcium, while most kidney stones form from calcium deposits. A key factor in the formation of calcium stones in urine is a sudden increase in calcium concentration over a short period. The peak period for calcium concentration in the kidneys is 2 to 3 hours after falling asleep. When you are asleep, your urine is concentrated and the high concentration of calcium in the kidneys easily leads to stone formation. Therefore, kidney stone patients are advised not to drink milk before bedtime.

Do not exceed the recommended dosage of cod liver oil.

Cod liver oil is rich in vitamin D, which can promote the absorption of calcium and phosphorus through the intestinal membrane. Consuming large amounts of this oil leads to a sudden increase in calcium and phosphorus in the urine, causing precipitation and increasing the risk of stone formation.
