We all have heard this phrase ‘Water is life’. Water is most important for our body to run smoothly. Water is a mineral that provides instant energy to our body. Water detoxifies the body by removing its toxins. That means our body cannot function properly without water. Despite knowing this, many people drink to get less. Because of this, their body becomes dehydrated and many serious diseases surround the body. Let us tell you, due to lack of water you may have the problem of kidney stones. The problem of kidney stones is increasing rapidly among people these days and the biggest reason for this is drinking less water. Let us tell you why lack of water causes kidney stones and how much water should stone patients drink in a day?
When do kidney stones occur?
Kidneys filter the blood and remove sodium, calcium and other fine particles present in it from the body through the ureter. But when these minerals become excessive in our body, the kidneys are unable to filter them and they start accumulating in them and take the form of stones.
Drinking less water can increase the problem of kidney stones:
By drinking less water, the body not only becomes a victim of dehydration but in this condition the problem of kidney stones increases rapidly. In fact, by drinking less water, the salt and minerals present in the body turn into crystals and start taking the form of stones, which causes stomach ache and sometimes people have to face difficulty in passing urine.
How much water should you drink in a day?
People who have kidney stones or have a family history of kidney stones should drink at least 2 liters to 3 liters of water a day. If you work in the field, you should drink even more. Also reduce salt intake. Eat less chicken and meat. By drinking more water, the kidneys filter these minerals due to which the stones are passed out through urine.
