Does tea affect kidney stones?

Honestly, hydration is the biggest factor here. If you are lifting weights or doing heavy cardio, you are sweating out a lot of water. If you keep drinking strong black tea without matching your daily water intake, those oxalates can build up. Just keep drinking water throughout your workouts.

Yaar, if chai was giving everyone kidney stones, half of India would be in the hospital by now! Jokes apart, moderation is the key. Just don't drink it like water and you should be totally fine.

My son had a small stone last year and he used to drink a lot of iced tea. The doctor made us stop the bottled teas completely because of the high oxalate levels. We switched him to fresh lemon water and basic home-cooked meals, and he is doing much better now.

Hi! You don't have to completely give up your favorite chai, but just reduce the strong black teas. Green tea or herbal infusions are actually much lighter on the system. Just keep yourself super hydrated and enjoy your small cup of joy! 😊

In my 65 years, I have seen many people panic about tea. I had a kidney stone in my 40s, and the doctor just told me to drink one extra glass of water for every cup of tea I had. Keep your body hydrated and don't worry too much, life is too short to leave chai.

Bro during exams I drink like 4 cups of tapri chai daily just to stay awake. My gym trainer told me that too much strong black tea can cause stones if you don't drink enough water. Now I just keep a water bottle next to me always.

I went to a specialist at Aster Medcity for my renal checkup. He told me that the impact of tea depends entirely on the type of kidney stone you have. You should get a proper scan and urine test done, and ask your urologist directly instead of guessing.
