Orange Juice Keep Kidney Stones Away
Slowly, I am getting a picture of what a fabulously healthy breakfast should be:
Coffee, strawberry probiotic yoghurt, cereals with cranberries, and… orange juice.
Coffee for your brain, strawberries too, probiotic yoghurt for your gut, cranberries for a healthy bladder, and orange juice to prevent kidney stones.
Orange juice, researchers found, boosted the levels of citrate in the urine and reduced the crystallization of uric acid and calcium oxalate – the most frequently found ingredient in kidney stones.
According to their study, lemonade, another citrus juice with comparable citrate content, did not have the same effect. The researchers think the form in which the citrate is present in the juice matters.
[snip]… the citrate in orange and grapefruit juice is accompanied by a potassium ion while the citrate in lemonade and cranberry juice is accompanied by a hydrogen ion. Ions of hydrogen, but not potassium, counteract the beneficial effects of the high citrate content.
Now, for tea afficionados, I wonder whether lacing tea with orange or lemon will make any difference.
My husband keeps making bladder stones and he
keeps bladder infections – none of the antibodics
seem to be working. I will try the orange juice
and hope this will be helpful. Are there any
other suggestions?
