now if you’re prone to kidney stones or you  have high oxalates in your urine which makes  

a person more prone to kidney stones there’s a  couple things that you can do but first let’s  

talk about the symptoms of a kidney stone number  one low back pain number two flank pain which is  

pain in the back just below the rib cage on either  side indicating which kidney has a stone usually  

there could be blood in the urine there could  be frequent urination there can also be painful  

urination those are all symptoms now why would  someone have more oxalates in the urine and  

by the way your body makes oxalates and they  also come from the food and they kind of help  

you regulate excessive amounts of calcium in fact  that’s one of the functions of oxalates and plants  

because if there’s too much calcium  in the plant that can kill the plant  

so that’s why the plant develops oxalates to  help regulate the excess amount of calcium  

now normally you’re supposed to have a certain  amount of oxalates not too much okay but if you do  

what are the causes you could have  a genetic problem which by the way  

that can be dealt with i’m going to talk about  what to do if there’s weakness within your kidney  

you can have a problem with building up more  oxalates in the kidney number three if you  

have a bypass surgery that can cause you to  have more oxalates if you have some type of  

an intestinal problem that can cause you to have  more oxalates if your diet is composed of foods  

that are high in oxalates that can give you more  oxalates like spinach black tea almonds chocolate  

soda and cola hopefully you’re not doing that  soybeans soy milk spinach i already mentioned that  

sweet potato black tea or tofu all have higher  amounts of oxlets if you have higher oxalates  

or you’re prone to kidney stones there are four  things that you must do that will greatly help you  

number one you want to start taking calcium the  type of calcium i’m going to recommend is calcium  

lactate take about 250 milligrams before bed  what will that do that’s going to combine with  

the oxalates in your intestine and allow them to  go through the body so they’re not reabsorbed and  

end up in the kidney okay number two you want to  start taking citrates you can do it through lemon  

juice like a half a cup a day or you can take  potassium citrate because the citrate will prevent  

the calcium from binding with the oxalates  number three drink 2.5 liters of fluid per day  

it’s about 10 and a half cups of liquid kidney  stones occur when you have a super saturation  

of calcium and oxalates so if you’re drinking  the fluid you’ll never have that concentration  

and number four reduce foods high in oxalates and  i just mentioned the foods that you need to avoid  

hey before you go if you’re  benefiting from any of my content
