More great benefits of coffee

When urine is too concentrated, minerals and chemicals in the urine will precipitate and crystallize into kidney stones. Kidney stones are usually made up of calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate, according to the health website Healthline (USA).

Drinking coffee every day can help prevent kidney stones.

A study published in the journal Advances in Nutrition found that drinking coffee can help reduce the risk of kidney stones. This is because coffee acts as a diuretic, helping to increase urine output, thereby reducing the buildup of minerals in the kidneys that form stones.

This benefit is due to the caffeine content in coffee. A study published in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition analyzed data collected from more than 30,000 people with a history of kidney stones. The results showed that drinking caffeine can help reduce the risk of developing kidney stones.

Although studies have shown that caffeine can help prevent kidney stones, scientists believe that other substances in coffee besides caffeine may also help prevent kidney stones. These include antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and high levels of magnesium.

Although coffee is good, to ensure health, people should not drink too much. Experts recommend that people should only drink 2 cups of coffee/day. Meanwhile, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said that the amount of caffeine consumed each day should not exceed 400 milligrams. This is the total amount of caffeine not only in coffee but also in all other drinks or foods containing caffeine such as energy drinks, tea, or chocolate.

In addition, to prevent kidney stones, maintaining healthy habits is also very important. Accordingly, people need to drink plenty of water to avoid the condition of urine becoming too concentrated. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight also help reduce the risk of kidney stones.

For people who have kidney stones, depending on the type of kidney stone, they may need to reduce their intake of certain foods such as red meat, salt or peanuts. If you are worried about kidney stones, see your doctor to determine the type of kidney stone and the appropriate treatment, according to Healthline .
