Anyone who has ever had a kidney stone knows that trying to get rid of it can be one of life's more uncomfortable experiences.
曾經(jīng)得過腎結(jié)石的人都了解去除腎結(jié)石的過程是人這一生中最難受的經(jīng)歷之一。

So if you're prone to having kidney stones, it's wise to do what you can to prevent them.
所以如果你很容易得腎結(jié)石，最好是采取一切措施來預(yù)防。

And lemonade, or just lemon juice, turns out to be one of the better ways.
喝檸檬水或檸檬汁是比較好的方法之一。

Lemons are full of citrate – a chemical that attached to calcium in the kidney and stops it from forming crystals that can turn into stones.
檸檬中含有大量檸檬酸鹽——這種化學(xué)物質(zhì)和腎臟中的鈣有關(guān)，可阻止鈣結(jié)晶形成結(jié)石。

If you want to prevent kidney stones but aren't partial to sugary lemonade, drinking just plain lemon juice mixed with water works as well.
如果你想預(yù)防腎結(jié)石，但又不喜歡含糖的檸檬水，那么喝兌水的純檸檬汁也能達到同樣的效果。

And if you don't like lemons at all, then try drinking lots of fluids and eating less salt, calcium, and protein.
如果你根本就不喜歡檸檬，那就多喝水，少吃鹽，限制鈣和蛋白質(zhì)的攝取量。
