Hello Sir, my name is hasmukh I am 47 yrs I am suffering from hypertension I want to lose weight. I am 5.7" in height and 82 kg.

Ans:

Obesity is one of the influencing factors as far as the development of kidney stones is concerned.

A high fat percentage can affect the kidneys’s function, thus increasing the need to exercise and lose weight.

Include an exercise schedule to increase lean mass and have a nutritionally balanced diet with a focus on low carb, high protein and fibre.

Kidney stones are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside your kidney.

Include more vegetables, fruits, whole grains and low-fat dairy in your diet.

Limit the intake of sodium, sugar and red meat.

Fruits rich in citric acid have also been shown to have a positive effect in preventing kidneys stones.

Get to know the particular fruits and veggies that have high oxalate content and try to limit them or be sure to eat them in combination with calcium-rich foods.

Including extra water in your diet can help prevent the formation of both uric acid and cystine stones.

Ans: Hi Surendra,
I will also need to know your height and any possible ailments to understand if and how much weight loss your body needs. The journey to weight loss is determined after understanding what are reasons behind weight gain, otherwise, random diets and sudden workouts can rather harm the body. You can either write back with more details or visit a naturopath to understand the body issues and recommend a wellness plan accordingly.
