Senior & Kidney Kidney Stone
Does Hard Water Cause Kidney Stones?
A question that many clients ask us is: “Does hard water cause kidney stones?”
Kidney stones have been described by patients as more painful than giving birth! Surprisingly, hard water and kidney stones have been linked since the early ’90s, and research is continually confirming that if you drink hard water, your risk goes up significantly. As much as 300%! Whether you’ve been touched by the pain of kidney stones or not, we’d like to shed some light on how your water quality could be increasing your risk of kidney stones.
The Solution
Not only are kidney stones painful but they leave you penniless. With increases in health care costs, surgery, emergency room visit, and medication, the costs can run anywhere from $8,000 to $12,000 after insurance.
Some procedures require patients to undergo anesthesia using shockwave therapy to break up the stone. Others require scoping through the urethra and breaking up the stone with a laser. A third option includes a small incision that’s made to the patient’s back from which the stones are removed. These surgeries are merely treating the symptoms of improper kidney function and don’t necessarily mean you won’t ever have a kidney stone again. Attacking the root cause(s) is the most effective way to solve this problem, and one root cause is the water you’re drinking!
Some products have revolutionized the field of high-quality drinking water for your home. It’s like having a bottled water factory at your kitchen sink that removes contaminants and hardness completely. Purified water decreases the risk of calcium-citrate and calcium-oxalate buildup in your body, thus decreasing your risk of kidney stones.
Kidney stones have many causes and are not only due to water quality. However, studies have shown a significant risk increase when consuming hard water.
Research also says that staying hydrated is one of the best ways to reduce your risk. So, making every effort to drink the highest quality water could make a huge difference in your life and the lives of your loved ones!
