Kidney stones are small crystals (renal calculus) that form in your urine from poorly processed wastes, and an excess of acidic waste from meat and dairy that is not completely digested and eliminated from your system. Poor metabolism, dehydration, bad diet, and excesses of calcium, uric acid, or other substances can cause kidney stones. Prevention is much better than treatment, so eat better and be sure to keep your body fully hydrated to flush out the crystals while they are still tiny and able to pass painlessly through your ureters, bladder, and urethra.
If you are currently being treated for kidney stones, make a particular effort to get fully hydrated. Water helps the stones pass, and keeps the rest of the system flushed out so that there is no new accumulation of crystals.
