Foods and beverages high in natural citrate can help prevent kidney stones. This is because citrate in urine is believed to stop calcium from binding with other constituents that may cause kidney stones. Thus, consuming high citrate foods and drinks like lemonade, limeade, and certain fruits and juices, is a good preventive measure against kidney stones. However, make sure to be wary of the sugar content, as this could increase your risk instead of lessening it. Opt for sugar-free, or make your drinks at home instead, using a sugar substitute.
