What Causes Kidney Stones?
5. Animal Protein
Animal protein is an important part of our diet because protein is essential for the growth and repair of our bodies. It is recommended that we get plenty in our diet, and vegetarians especially are advised to be sure that they have the protein that they need. It is possible, however, that we can have too much protein in our diet.
Unless you have reasons to have a lot of protein, you should try and make sure you don’t overdo it on animal protein. This can otherwise increase the likelihood of kidneys stones forming. Vitamin C is also very important for us but, again, having too much of it can make it more likely that you will develop kidneys stones.
