More great benefits of coffee

When urine is too concentrated, minerals and chemicals in the urine will settle and crystallize into kidney stones. Kidney stones are usually made 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 may help reduce the risk of kidney stone formation. This is because coffee acts as a diuretic, increasing urine output and thus reducing the accumulation 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 over 30,000 people with a history of kidney stones. The results showed that drinking caffeine may help reduce the risk of developing kidney stones.

Although studies have shown the benefits of caffeine in preventing kidney stones, scientists believe that coffee contains other substances besides caffeine that also contribute to preventing kidney stones. These substances include antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, and high levels of magnesium.

While coffee is good for you, to ensure good health, you shouldn't drink too much of it. Experts recommend that people only drink two cups of coffee per day. Meanwhile, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) states that the daily caffeine intake should not exceed 400 milligrams. This is the total amount of caffeine not only from coffee but also from all other caffeinated beverages and foods such as energy drinks, tea, or chocolate.

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

For those who have kidney stones, depending on the type of stones, they may need to reduce their intake of certain foods such as red meat, salt, or peanuts. If concerned about kidney stones, patients should see a doctor to determine the type of kidney stones and the appropriate treatment, according to Healthline .
