What Causes Kidney Stones?
8. Calcium Rich Foods
Calcium is another very important mineral for us, and is also found in plentiful supply in our food. It is important for helping us to build a strong skeleton, and healthy teeth, and is also necessary for a number of other essential processes in the body. As with so many other types of food, though, too much of it can be a problem for us.
Having too much calcium in the body can cause some rather unwelcome symptoms, one of which is an increase in the likely hood of kidney stones forming. Calcium is plentiful in milk and other dairy products, but kidneys stones are not caused by drinking milk. Some vegetables are also a good source of calcium, as are some nuts.
