Do you know what 'kidney stone' is?

So, the so-called 'kidney stone' is an excess of some substances that our body sometimes can't filter properly, and they accumulate in our kidneys, causing discomfort and pain horrible. These substances are mostly derived from calcium oxalate, which is a substance found in some foods, such as spinach, strawberries, nuts, beets and teas. So, those who have kidney stones should avoid consuming foods that contain in excess this substance, calcium oxalate.

But that's not all: some substances can be transformed by our body into calcium oxalate, and this is the case with vitamin C. In excess, this vitamin is transformed by our body into calcium oxalate, which, when it accumulates in the kidneys, forms the pebbles that bother us so much.

The most important thing is that anyone who has kidney stones should follow a diet, made by nutritionists, and drink plenty of water, because the water helps to clean the kidneys, as it can help eliminate the stone through the pee and thus prevents this substance from accumulating in the body.
