Orange juice prevents kidney stones
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Celebs & Entertainment, Nutrition & Supplements
This is the third time in the last several weeks that I've heard good things about fruit juice.
This latest one is particularly encouraging, because it involves kidney stones. I have never experienced a kidney stone, but I hear that the pain of one is comparable to giving birth. And that rumour alone is enough for me to do anything I possibly can to ensure I never get one.
According to a recent study, orange juice helps to stave off kidney stones, more so than lemonade and other citrus beverages.
The study was small, with only 13 participants, but it found that orange juice increased levels of citrate in the urine and reduced the crystallization of uric acid and calcium oxalate, the most common components of kidney stones.
One more reason to drink your OJ.
