Nakada, chair and professor of urology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. <br /> <br />Nakada spoke during a news conference on kidney stone research at this week's annual meeting of the American Urological Association in Atlanta. <br /> <br />How Much Lemonade? <br />Lemonade also does something else needed by people prone to kidney stones. It helps them pass a lot of urine, said conference moderator Marshall Stoller, MD, vice chairman of urology and medical director of the urinary stone center at the University of California, San Francisco. <br /> <br />"To reduce kidney stones, you have to increase your fluid intake so that you pass 1.5 to 2 liters of urine a day," Stoller said. "If you live in sunny Atlanta, you may need to drink more than if you live in foggy San Francisco." <br /> <br />To make lemonade, Stoller, Nakada, and Kang recommend mixing 1/2 cup of concentrated lemon juice with 7 cups of water. A sugar substitute may be added to taste. Sugar should be avoided, as the extra calories in sugared lemonade are too much for most people's health. <br /> <br />Diet and Kidney Stones <br />But lemonade alone isn't the answer to kidney stones. It's only part of a stone-preventing diet. <br /> <br />"First, you should reduce the amount of salt in the diet," Stoller says. "Get rid of the salt shaker at the table. Use a potassium-based salt substitute. If you have a choice of two products, go to the one with less salt. Eat out less -- restaurant food is salty -- and never salt your food before tasting it." <br /> <br />Second on Stoller's stone-prevention diet is eating smaller portions of meat and fish at each meal. <br /> <br />"We are not saying to eat less meat, just eat less at individual meals," he says. <br /> <br />Third, increase fluid intake to where one is passing 1.5 to 2 liters of urine each day. <br /> <br />"Where does lemonade fit in? If you drink and enjoy lemonade, it gives you an additional benefit," Stoller says. <br /> <br />http://www.balancedhealthtoday.com/glytamins.html <br />http://balancedhealthtoday.com/buy/glytamins-ingredients/
