If you have ever had kidney stones, you know it is quite an ordeal. But there is a natural home remedy you can take that prevents kidney stones from growing.
According to a study done at the University of Wisconsin SChool of Medicine and Public Health, the citrate in lemonade binds with crystals in the urine and prevents stones from growing.
You can get the benefit of the citrate without the added sugar by drinking lemon water. Simply squeeze the lemon into the water you drink every day. In addition to helping to prevent kidney stones, the lemon water is very refreshing when the weather is hot.
As with anything, a little is good; several glasses a day will help. Don't overdo it, though. Lemons are very tart and acidic, but they are also very high in sugar.
