 <\/p>\n

5. Tea With<\/strong>\u00a0Nettle Leaf<\/h3>\n

Nettle tea<\/a> is most commonly used to help joints and relieve the symptoms of seasonal allergies, is also a powerful diuretic with antibacterial properties.

 <\/p>\n

6. Vegetable Proteins<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It is a known fact that overconsumption of certain animal proteins can cause kidney stones. If you are subject to this condition, you should consider replacing some types of meat (not necessarily all) in your diet with vegetable<\/a> protein sources. Several people complain about giving up on meat products such as beef, pork, eggs, fish, etc., the excruciating pain of passing the kidney stone that can be a sufficient incentive. Excellent sources of vegetable protein are green peas, chia seeds, quinoa, spirulina, almonds, beans, hummus and, of course, soy. Remember, you need about 50 grams of protein a day. If you plan to move from meat to vegetables, you must first become familiar with the protein content of these foods.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. Get Your Fiber<\/h3>\n

Many sources of vegetable protein<\/a> also have the advantage of being large sources of insoluble fiber, another effective way to stop the growth of existing kidney stones and to prevent the formation of new kidney stones. Insoluble fiber helps reduce calcium in the urinary tract by attaching to the intestine. The calcium that flows through the stool means that fewer minerals are available to crystallize in the kidneys. Some excellent sources of soluble fiber are whole grains, legumes, fruits and green vegetables.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. Kidney<\/strong> Beans<\/h3>\n

Similarly, red beans, so named because of their similar shape and color to the organ of the same name, are also excellent for clarifying kidney stones. Not only are beans very rich in fiber, but they are also an excellent source of non-animal protein, B vitamins<\/a>, and minerals that improve the health of the urinary tract and kidneys. To get the most out of your beans, boil them in water (avoid broth, salt, etc.) until they are tender enough to be eaten.<\/p>\n
