What Causes Kidney Stones?
6. High-Oxalate Foods
As mentioned, we get a lot of oxalate from the food that we eat. This makes it a good idea to not overdo certain foods to help prevent calcium-oxalate stones from forming. This includes some foods that are otherwise very healthy for us, so it is all about finding the right balance.
One of these is spinach, which is one of the most nutritious foods we know of so it is advised to get a reasonable amount, but not too much. Others include baked potatoes, french fries, beets, sweet potatoes, and some cereals. Cashews and almonds are other examples, as are raspberries.
