　　Frequent drinking of beverages in summer may lead to kidney stones

　　When summer comes, the weather is very hot, and people often feel thirsty. However, some people don’t like to drink water, but they love the drinks in the supermarket. Is it good to drink drinks often? Especially in such a hot summer, experts say it is not advisable to drink drinks frequently in summer.

　　Frequent drinking of beverages in summer can easily lead to kidney stones. As summer approaches, more people develop urinary stones. More than half of the patients are men aged 20 to 45, and most of them are calcium oxalate stones.

　　The reason is very simple: sweat more, urinate less, drink less water and drink more drinks.

　　Many patients with urinary tract stones do not like to drink water, and even do not drink at all if they feel not thirsty. In the summer, you sweat more and urinate less. If you drink less water at this time, the salts that form stone crystals in the urine will become supersaturated, and crystal deposition will lead to urinary tract stones.

　　Another worse situation is that some people are too busy to drink water, but drink one bottle after another of drinks and beer. This habit will accelerate the formation of stones.

　　Because the oxalic acid rich in fruit juice is the most common component of stones, and beer will quickly cause diuresis after drinking, causing the body to become dehydrated in a short period of time. Therefore, people who like to drink drinks and beer but seldom drink water will have a higher chance of developing stones.

　　Drinking less drinks, drinking more water, and urinating more are the most direct ways to prevent the high incidence of urinary stones. People's daily fluid intake should be maintained at more than 2500 to 3000 ml. If ordinary mineral water bottles are used as the standard, 5 to 6 bottles are needed. In this way, the daily urine output should be maintained at more than 2000 ml to 2500 ml.

　　Even if you are not thirsty, when you see that the color of your urine is dark yellow, it means that your body is dehydrated and you need to replenish it quickly.

　　Metabolic abnormalities of the body, urinary tract obstruction, infection, foreign bodies, and drugs are also common causes of stone formation.
