Change bad eating habits away from "stones"

In recent years, more and more people have been found to stone, and reports of "eating tofu to get stones" are not uncommon. Are these little stones really eaten in your body? To this end, the Second Military Medical University affiliated Changhai Hospital nutrition department chief physician Cai Donglian gave an answer.
data show that China has become one of the countries with the highest incidence of stones, with the incidence rate exceeding 10% in some parts of the south. Cai Donglian introduced that the human body formed stones for many reasons, in addition to living in hot areas, exercise too little, suffering from certain diseases and other factors, poor eating habits are also one of the important causes. To sum up, there are mainly the following types of susceptible to stone eating methods.
drink less water, poor water quality is most likely to cause stones. Common kidney stones are associated with prolonged drinking of water. 70% of the body's components are water, its metabolism, detox need a lot of water. Too little water, will increase blood concentration and kidney burden, and lead to urine concentration, easy to cause stones. Adults are advised to drink at least 8 glasses of water per day. Cai Donglian said that some areas of drinking water is hard water, crystals, calcium content is high, will make the body's calcium urine increased, the formation of stones.
eat too many high-protein foods. For example, people who often eat too much meat and even take meat as their staple food. Protein in the body after digestion and metabolism, will increase the acidity of the urine, the body to balance the acidity and alkalinity of the urine, will release alkaline calcium, calcium and uric acid will form stones in the urinary system. Adults need 60 to 80 grams of protein per day, often eat and drink people easy to exceed the standard, can eat more fruits and vegetables and reduce meat intake accordingly.
risk of eating too salty. When the body's high salt is excreted from the urine, it will also increase the amount of calcium excreted, so that calcium in the urine increases, easy to combine with the urine to form stones. Cooking can be cooked instead of fried, dishes out of the pot and then sprinkle salt, eat less pickles, sauces and other high-salt food.
eat too much food. Such as animal visceral, seafood, etc. The metabolites of radon are uric acid, which is too high and may form uric acid stones. When eating more food, it is best not to drink alcohol, should drink more water to increase the metabolism of radon, discharge.
's diet is oily and watery. Fat can hinder uric acid metabolism, leading to increased uric acid concentration in the blood, when the water intake is insufficient, easy to produce stones. Eat oily food and drink more water to avoid stones.
, Cai Donglian also cites several myths in life about "eating stones".
myth 1: Eating spinach tofu soup can lead to stones. Spinach and other green vegetables contain a lot of grass acid, tofu rich in calcium, people think that the two eat together, will produce a common calcium asphalt stone. Cai Donglian said that spinach tofu together, it does produce calcium asphalt, but it can not be absorbed by the body, will not enter the urinary system, but with other undigested food residue, excreted through feces, will not cause stones. By the same toe, the herbal acid in milk tea does not cause stones.
Myth 2: Eating calcium-rich foods can lead to stones. Many people are afraid to eat tofu and drink milk because they are afraid of stones. Cai Donglian said that the average person or stone patients do not need to deliberately avoid calcium-containing food, the formation of stone components in a specific urine acidity and alkalinity will be out. Instead, sufficient calcium binds to the anticic acid in the intestines, forming calcium asphalt that is not easily absorbed, thus avoiding the formation of stones. Adults are advised to drink 300ml of milk a day to protect the calcium needed for the day without worrying about too much calcium leading to stones.
Myth 3: Eating too much food high in vitamin C can lead to stones. Vitamin C produces herbal acid after metabolism in the body, and there are concerns that eating too much food high in vitamin C will increase the concentration of grassic acid in the urine. Studies have confirmed that eating large amounts of vitamin C in the diet was not associated with the formation of calcium folic acid stones. Mr Cai said vitamin C from the diet was not enough to be the cause of the stones unless it was consumed in large quantities, such as nutrients.
Myth 4: Drinking beer prevents stones. This is true because alcohol and water in beer are beneficial to urine. Studies have shown that the diuretic effect of alcohol can help urinate in the short term, but if you drink too much, constant urination can lead to faster water loss and more prone to stones.
