The two main causes of kidney stone formation are: 1) excess salt in your diet; 2) lack of physical activity and dehydration. It can also be hereditary but this can be avoided if you lessen your intake of salt and lived a more physically active lifestyle. And drink water daily.
We are unaware of how much salt we put in our bodies. Cheese on everything. Salt added to a soup, a piece of fish, to season fries, to make that piece of steak more tasty, the sauce layered on top of any meal is full of salt, the dressing on a salad. Chips are loaded with salt. So are crackers, pretzels and even sweet candy has salt in it. Restaurants have a bottle of salt on the table before you even take a seat. Bottom line is that salt is bad for you. In excess.
