Drinking too little water is the main cause, which lets minerals build up. Coconut water and fresh lemon juice are great home remedies to prevent them. However, if you have sharp, unbearable pain in your side, please go to the hospital immediately.

Mostly dehydation and eating too much salty or junk food! Just drink lots of water throughout the day and keep your body hydrated. Stay healthy and keep smiling!

Lack of proper hydration and excess calcium or oxalate in your diet are the primary causes of stones.

Too much sodium, processed foods, and sometimes overdoing calcium supplements without enough water intake causes stones. Keep your hydration high, especially if you are taking protein supplements or working out heavily.

Bhaiyya, kam paani peene se aur zyada namkeen cheezein khane se pathri ban jaati hai. Hamaare yahan kehte hain roz dher saara saaf paani peena chahiye taaki pet ki gandagi saaf ho jaye.

True, chronic dehydration is the number one cause. Try keeping a water bottle nearby to remind yourself to drink.

High intake of uric acid from certain foods and not drinking enough water causes them. Since I manage diabetes, I always make sure my hydration is perfect and avoid heavy salt to protect my kidneys from stress.
