Kidney stones are extremely common during the holiday season. The reason that this problem is so common during the holiday season is because people usually eat a lot of animal protein. Animal protein gets converted to acid before it is filtered by the kidneys. That is what encourages the growth of a kidney stone. Fortunately, there are a number of things that you can do prevent this problem.

Drinking plenty of water is one of the most important things that you can do. You also need to make sure that you limit your consumption of salt. Furthermore, you should opt to eat home cooked meals because they usually contain less salt.
