Description:

Drinking enough fluids each day is one of the best ways to prevent kidney stones. Adults should aim for about 2.5 to 3 liters (or 85–100 ounces) of fluids daily to help produce enough urine. Water is the best choice, and drinks like lemonade or orange juice (without added sugar) can also help because they have citrate, which protects against stones. It’s important to drink more when it’s hot or when you’re active. A good sign you're staying hydrated is if your urine is light yellow or clear.
