10 Home Remedies For Kidney Stones
Home Remedy #10: Reduce Sodium Intake
Are you in the habit of adding salt to food, sometimes too much of it? That could be a trigger for future encounters with kidney stones. Table salt is a compound of sodium and chloride. Sodium increases the excretion of calcium through the kidneys. The resultant high calcium concentrations in the kidneys increase the chances of precipitation and formation of calcium-containing kidney stones.
To watch your salt intake, get in the habit of eating healthy foods and limit consumption of processed or packaged foods, which often have high salt content.
