Dietary Changes to Help Prevent Kidney Stones [by National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NKUDIC)]

Dietary Changes to Help Prevent Kidney Stones
People can help prevent kidney stones by making changes in fluid intake and, depending on the type of kidney stone, changes in consumption of sodium, animal protein, calcium, and oxalate.
Drinking enough fluids each day is the best way to help prevent most types of kidney stones. Health care providers recommend that a person drink 2 to 3 liters of fluid a day. People with cystine stones may need to drink even more. Though water is best, other fluids may also help prevent kidney stones, such as citrus drinks.
Recommendations based on the specific type of kidney stone include the following:
Calcium Oxalate Stones
(1) reducing sodium
(2) reducing animal protein, such as meat, eggs, and fish
(3) getting enough calcium from food or taking calcium supplements with food
(4) avoiding foods high in oxalate, such as spinach, rhubarb, nuts, and wheat bran
Calcium Phosphate Stones
(1) reducing sodium
(2) reducing animal protein
(3) getting enough calcium from food or taking calcium supplements with food
Uric Acid Stones
(1) limiting animal protein

Diet for good mood and good mental health (by Mental Health Foundation, UK)
There are strong links between what we eat and how we feel, for example, caffeine and sugar can have an immediate effect.
But food can also have a long-lasting effect on your mental health. Your brain needs a mix of nutrients to stay healthy and function well, just like the other organs in your body.
A diet that’s good for your physical health is also good for your mental health.
A healthy balanced diet includes:
(1) Lots of different types of fruit and vegetables
(2) Wholegrain cereals or bread
(3) Nuts and seeds
(4) Dairy products
(5) Oily fish
(6) Plenty of water
Eat at least 3 meals each day and drink plenty of water. Try to limit how many high-caffeine or sugary drinks you have, and avoid too much alcohol.
Please Note: The advice on this page may not apply if your doctor or dietician have given you specific dietary advice, e.g. if you are a kidney patient or a diabetic.

Drinking water and weight loss
Water is essential for burning calories.
If you let yourself get dehydrated, your metabolism drags -- and that means slower weight loss.
Research suggests adults who drink eight or more glasses of water per day burn more calories than those who drink less.
So try adding a glass of water to every meal and snack.
