Rice is the staple food for more than half of the world's population, including countless people with kidney stones, but they still eat rice every day.
Rice is an extremely nutrient-rich food, and rice has nothing to do with kidney stones.
Kidney stones are preventable and treatable, and the easiest way to prevent and treat kidney stones is to eat the right foods.
Studies have shown that approximately 70% to 80% of stones are calcium oxalate stones.
The accumulation of oxalic acid in the body is the main factor leading to kidney stones.
In addition, excessive intake of high-sugar, high-protein and high-purine foods is also linked to kidney stones.
Kidney stone patients should eat less foods high in oxalic acid, such as spinach, beans, carrots, mushrooms, amaranth, coriander, celery, grapes, oranges, strawberries and so on.
It is recommended that patients with kidney stones often eat some black fungus. Black fungus contains alkaloids and various minerals, which can produce a strong chemical reaction to kidney stones, dissolve the stones, shrink them and excrete them from the body.
Patients with kidney stones also are advised to drink plenty of water. Studies have shown that a 50% increase in urine output can reduce the incidence of kidney stones by 85%.
