Look, if you are prone to calcium oxalate kidney stones, you absolutely need to avoid beetroots. They are loaded with oxalates which will only make your stone issues worse. Stop eating them and drink plenty of water instead.
I have to manage my blood pressure and I also had a kidney stone once. While beets are great for BP, they are indeed high in oxalates, which can trigger kidney stones. It is very important to do regular ultrasound checkups and balance your diet with doctor's advice.
Haan bhaiya, pathri ki bimaari mein chukandar thoda nuksaan kar sakta hai kyunki isme pathri banane wale tatva hote hain. Iski jagah dher sara paani aur nariyal paani pijiye, pathri nikalne mein madad milegi.
Managing PCOS made me realize how everything we eat affects our body. Beetroots are generally healthy, but for kidney stones, their high oxalate level can be risky. It's always safer to ask your doctor to see if they fit into your personal health plan.
I track all my meals and nutrition inputs. Beetroots have a very high oxalate content, which binds with calcium to form kidney stones. If your tracking shows you are prone to stones, it is highly recommended to cut down on beets and increase your daily water tracking goal to at least 3-4 liters.
I got so scared when I had moderate back pain and thought my kidney stones were back after eating beet salad. It turned out to be normal muscle pain, but my doctor did confirm that beets should be avoided if you have a history of oxalate stones. Once you adjust your diet, things go back to normal, so don't panic.
