This is a beginner's guide for readers on how to better manage kidney health through the low oxalate diet plan.
Book Synopsis
What do Louis XIV, Marin Luther King, Sir Isaac Newton, Caesar Augustus, Benjamin Franklin, and Oliver Cromwell have in common? Kidney stones. These famous people all suffered from kidney stones.
1 in every 10 individuals is estimated to have kidney stones once in their life. In the United States alone, the frequency of kidney stones rose from 3.8% in the 1970s to 8.8% in the 2000s. And in 2014, the frequency further increased to 10%. But kidney stone problems are not entirely a new problem.
Kidney stone removal is one of the earliest medical procedures recorded in history. In ancient India, around 600 BC, a physician named Sushruta described the process of bladder stone extraction through the perineum. It was around the 3rd century that the process of breaking down the stones into smaller pieces was first introduced. History proves that the battle against kidney stones is as old as history itself.
Most medical practitioners agree that kidney problems are a silent pandemic. As many as 37 million adults in America suffer from kidney problems. What's worse is that they don't even know it until their kidneys started to fail. And when the kidneys fail, the body's normal function is also affected. One of the main culprits behind kidney problems is the formation of kidney stones. Chronic kidney stone formation may end as a bigger kidney problem if left untreated. And if you already had one, you'll have more chances of developing another.
In the Low Oxalate Diet, you'll discover:
The right way to eat without getting worked up on kidney problems.
How you can maintain a diet while eating the foods that you love.
The importance of knowing what exactly your food is made up of.
Why you need to be cautious of eating anything marketed as a healthy food.
How you can increase longevity via kidney health
Review Quotes
If you struggle with kidney stones, this is the book for you. Everything a person needs to know about preventing stones, eating a low-oxalate diet, being mindful of your dietary intake, and staying well-hydrated is key to prevention. I love that the author provided a spreadsheet of common foods and oxalate level, a great tool to help you in kidney stone prevention. The book is wrapped up with treatment information. What more can you ask for? Very well presented. I guess the only thing that could have made it better is a photos.

I found this book interesting and informative. The book is a straight forward source of information written in almanac form, with a weekly diet guide and a plan for creating and living a "Low Oxatate" lifestyle. Based on what I read here, I plan to increase my water intake significantly. I recommend this book.
