Hi Ma’am
This is Zubair Tambe.
I am suffering from kidney stones and obesity. My age is 43 years old, weight 91 kg, height is 5.4 inches.
I want to lose minimum 20 kg.
Please advise me.

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.
