What are kidney stones made out of?
My doctor told me to drink more water to prevent kidney stones. What exactly are these stones made out of? Is it some kind of mineral deposit?

These stones are made of excess salts and minerals like calcium that accumulate in the body. In our times, we avoided too much heavy, salty food and drank barley water to keep the system clean. It is a good, time-tested way to prevent these mineral deposits from forming, but always consult a doctor if you feel pain.

Don't worry, kidney stones are just concentrated mineral crystals that gather in your kidneys when you don't drink enough water. Most of them are made of calcium oxalate, which is the most common type, while others can be made of uric acid or struvite. Just keep your hydration levels up and your body will handle the rest.

Beta, yeh patthari aur kuch nahi, bas sharer mein namak aur calcium ka jamao hota hai jab hum pani kam peete hain. Jab pet saaf nahi rehta toh yeh pareshani zyada hoti hai. Khoob pani piyo aur dahi daliya khao, isse pet thanda rahega aur patthari nahi banegi.

Wait, is it true that eating spinach and tomatoes causes calcium oxalate stones? I love eating palak paneer but now I am so anxious that it might create stones in my kidneys. Has anyone else cut down on these veggies out of fear, or is it just me overthinking?

Most kidney stones are made of calcium oxalate, but some are also made of uric acid due to high protein intake. A simple and practical solution to prevent them is to reduce packed foods that have high sodium and drink at least 3 liters of water daily. Getting your urine tested once will tell you exactly what kind of stone risk you have.
