According to reports, the doctor from a man out of 420 kidney stones, the whole kidney to the stuffed, and reported that the original was actually the man love tofu do not love water to blame the disaster. Love tofu really cause kidney stones? Kidney stones in the end and what are the eating habits? How to prevent kidney stones from the diet?
In this regard, the prevention of kidney stones diet points, mainly in the following areas:
1, drink enough water.
Do not always wait until you are thirsty. Especially in the summer and sports sweating more cases, the blood is concentrated, but also need to pay in time. If the body is in a state of water, the urine will be concentrated, the urine in the dissolved state of the material may be due to supersaturation and precipitation, kidney and bladder are more likely to appear stones.
In accordance with the recommendation of China Nutrition Society, in the case of no sweat, drink 6 glasses of water a day (the amount of disposable cups, about 200 ml). If hot weather or dry environment, you also need a corresponding increase in the number of drinking water. However, each person's need for water is not the same, the easiest way is to look at the urine color, if the color is deep, indicating the need to drink plenty of water; under normal circumstances the urine is very shallow yellow. Taking B vitamins in the case, we should pay attention to the color of vitamin B2 is bright yellow, and drink less that kind of yellow tone is different, even so, it is easy to interfere with the urine color of the judge.
Please note that here is talking about drinking water, not drinking sweet drinks.
2, eat foods rich in calcium.
Many people have heard that calcium stones are mostly calcium oxalate stones, they believe that calcium intake should be reduced, eat less calcium foods, which is a great misunderstanding. Research evidence confirmed that dietary calcium intake is high, but will reduce the risk of suffering from kidney stones. Kidney stones patients also do not need to deliberately reduce the dietary calcium intake. Whether it is tofu or milk, or rich in calcium green leafy vegetables and sesame, can be often put into the menu.
However, although calcium-rich foods are conducive to the prevention of kidney stones, taking calcium products, but when to be careful. Studies have found that taking calcium supplementation may increase the risk of kidney stones by 20%, while calcium intake in natural foods will reduce the risk of kidney stones by about one-third. Why is there such a difference? Researchers believe that calcium in natural foods can be combined with oxalic acid in food to reduce the body's absorption of oxalic acid, which has played a role in the prevention of kidney stones, single serving calcium will not have this Role. On the other hand, the calcium concentration in natural foods is low, unlike the calcium in the calcium product, which reaches the gastrointestinal one time and does not cause significant fluctuations in the calcium concentration in the blood.
3, take enough potassium and magnesium.
A survey has shown that magnesium deficiency may be a factor in increasing the risk of kidney stones. Potash and magnesium supply is adequate, can improve the use of calcium, to avoid calcium from the urine, thereby reducing the risk of kidney stones. At the end of the last century, it was found that potassium intake was negatively correlated with the risk of calcium oxalate kidney stones.
It is well known that all fruits and vegetables are rich in potassium. Magnesium is the most recommended food is a variety of dark green leafy vegetables, because chlorophyll molecules contain magnesium, which is the highest density of magnesium nutrients in the food category. The darker the color, the higher the magnesium content.
For example, according to China's food composition table, 100 grams of spinach contains 58 mg of magnesium, 66 mg of calcium, 311 mg of potassium; according to the US Department of Agriculture's food composition data, 100 grams of spinach containing magnesium 79 mg, calcium 99 mg , 558 mg of potassium.
In contrast, 100 grams of red Fuji apple magnesium in only 5 mg, 3 mg of calcium, potassium 115 mg. So, eat fruit can not replace the benefits of eating dark green leafy vegetables. In addition, nuts, beans and coarse grains are also a good source of magnesium, but, according to the density of magnesium nutrient, they are less than green leafy vegetables.
Many people think that green leafy grasses and more, must lead to kidney stones risk factors, but in reality is not the case. The highest content of oxalic acid is spinach, but in addition to rich in potassium and magnesium, spinach is also rich in betaine, it is beneficial to reduce the urine pH of a substance. As long as the spinach gently boiled, remove some of the oxalic acid, you can rest assured that into the recipe. The small rape, cabbage, kale, green lettuce, oil and other high-green leafy vegetables, a lot of low content of oxalic acid, without worry. At the same time, eat more vegetables, for the prevention of phosphate stones and uric acid stones is particularly good.
4, away from sweet drinks and sweets.
Sugar will interfere with the absorption and utilization of calcium, which has long been known. Sweet drinks to promote kidney stones, there are many research evidence. The United States is a high incidence of kidney stones, and even children with kidney stones patients, some researchers believe that with too much sweet drinks intake. Not only did the survey demonstrate that sweet drinks were associated with the risk of kidney stones, and that human trials also found direct evidence. For example, a study found that drinking cola will increase the calcium oxalate-type kidney stones associated with biochemical indicators "Tiselius index", scanning electron microscopy also found that intake of cola after the collection of urine samples are more prone to calcium oxalate crystals.
When drinking sweet drinks containing vitamin C, note that there are studies suggesting that intake of 1000-2000 mg of vitamin C will lead to a significant increase in urinary oxalate excretion, Tiselius index increased, thereby increasing the risk of kidney stones.
5, to avoid excessive protein intake.
Protein excess, urinary calcium excretion increased, thereby increasing the risk of kidney stones. Eating too large meat and meat and too much staple food, less vegetables in the case of small, easily lead to dietary calcium, potassium, magnesium elements too little, and sulfur, phosphorus elements are too high problems, so that urinary calcium excretion increased bone calcium dissolution increased The Special note is that the rapid weight loss, if the use of high protein and low carbohydrate diet, is very likely to cause the consequences of kidney stones. The so-called "eat meat to lose weight", "egg weight loss" and other methods, have such a risk.
China's human body test also found that calcium oxalate-type kidney stones in patients after ingesting 350 grams of pork, urinary oxalate levels and uric acid levels were elevated, while the citrate content decreased, urinary acidity increased, this effect can last 6 hours , Increase the risk of the formation of kidney stones.
At present, most of our urban residents do not have the problem of insufficient protein, but many people because of health care products by the staff of the flicker, a large number of meals outside the meal intake of protein powder, it may cause excessive intake of protein and increase the risk of kidney stones The Netizens said the elderly children in the long-term use of protein powder after kidney stones, is likely to be such a reason.
In addition, many women at the current three meals also taking collagen products, and collagen is rich in glycine and hydroxyproline oxalate are formed precursors, excessive use will increase the urinary oxalate content, Thereby increasing the risk of kidney stones.
Another type of person who may be a problem is a fitness crowd, taking a lot of protein powder, egg white and other high protein health care products or food after muscle training, there are similar dangers.
6, soy milk should be appropriate, tofu selected traditional.
Soybean contains a high level of oxalic acid. Made of soy products can reduce the content of oxalic acid, but made of soy milk is basically can not reduce oxalic acid. This is because the oxalic acid is soluble in water. Do almost no loss of soy milk, and do tofu, because squeeze most of the yellow water, which can effectively reduce the content of oxalic acid. Soybean in the phytic acid, tannins and other ingredients on the use of calcium also have an impact, but not serious and oxalic acid.
At the same time, also pay attention to the ratio of oxalic acid and calcium in tofu changes. Soy milk contains less calcium, and the traditional tofu production of magnesium chloride (brine) or calcium sulfate (gypsum), in the reduction of oxalic acid at the same time, calcium and magnesium content increased significantly for the prevention of kidney stones is very favorable. Therefore, the traditional brine tofu and gypsum tofu, not only high nutritional value, in the prevention of stones, but also than do not increase calcium and magnesium, do not remove oxalic acid "lactone tofu" is more recommended.

So, soy milk can not drink too much, it should not be too thick. Suggested 1 part of beans with 20 times the water, soy milk every day no more than 20 grams of raw materials. According to the recommendation of China Nutrition Society, daily intake of 30-50 grams of soybeans, a bowl of soy milk plus 2 two tofu more appropriate. Do not recommend the thick soy milk when the water to drink.
