Special Diet for Kidney Stones



In calcium phosphate stones, over-secretion of parathyroid hormone causes loss of calcium
from the bones resulting in a high blood level of calcium with increased excretion of calcium in the urine. An abnormally high intake of milk, alkalis or vitamin D may also result in the formation of calcium phosphate stones.

What you need to know before you start a diet !!!














Give care before starting a raw juice diet.

Certain precautions are necessary in adopting an exclusive diet of raw juices. Firstly, all
juices should be made fresh immediately before drinking.  

Canned and frozen juices should not be used. It will be advisable that one should have one's own juicer for extracting fresh juices.

Secondly, only fresh ripe fruits and vegetables, preferably organically grown, should be used for extraction of juices.

Thirdly, only as much juice as needed for immediate consumption should be extracted. Raw juices oxidise rapidly and lose their medicinal value in storage, even under refrigeration.

Fourthly, the quality of the juices has a distinct bearing on the results obtained. In case of incomplete extraction of juices, their effective power is proportionately reduced due to the absence of the vitamins and enzymes which are left behind in fibre and the pulp.

Finally, if juices are too sweet they should be diluted in water on 50: 50 basis or mixed with other less sweet juices. This is especially important in some specific conditions such as diabetes, hypoglycaemia, arthritis and high blood pressure.
