Coconut Water can cure Kidney stones

Coconut Water can cure Kidney stones

Which is the only drink after water that has the same properties as water?

Coke

Pepsi

Thumps Up

Coconut Water

That's right, and it's still not endorsed by any celebrity :) Some action heroes these guys are.

I was addicted to coke, pepsi and thumps up. Whenever I was sick I had to be admitted to the hospital because I had a weak immune system. Today I realized why my dad would always say that coconut water is better than coke. If I only knew that coconut water would prevent such pain that comes with kidney stones, I would have had more of it.

What causes kidney stones?

The leading cause of kidney stones is a lack of water. Stones commonly have been found in those that drink less than the recommended eight to ten glasses of water a day. When there is not enough water to dilute the uric acid (component of urine), the pH level within the kidneys drops and becomes more acidic. An excessively acidic environment in the kidneys is conducive to the formation of kidney stones. 


Medical conditions such as Crohn's diseaseurinary tract infections, renal tubular acidosis, hyperparathyroidism, medullary sponge kidney, and Dent's disease have been known to lead to kidney stones. It also has been suggested that water fluoridation - the addition of fluoride to drinking water - is responsible for some cases of kidney stones.


What are the symptoms of kidney stones?

A kidney stone usually remains symptomless until it moves into the ureter. When symptoms become apparent, they include:
  • Severe pain in the groin and/or side
  • Blood in urine
  • Vomiting and nausea
  • White blood cells or pus in the urine
  • Reduced amount of excreted urine excreted
  • Burning sensation during urination
  • Persistent urge to urinate
  • Fever and chills if there is an infection
