Answer 1

The body needs water regardless of what else he drinks.Water keeps the body hydrated better and helps flush impurities out of the body.

Answer 2

What can I do to keep from getting another kidney stone?

Most people who have kidney stones have a 50% chance of developing another within 10 years. But there are things you can do to lower your risk:

    * Drink enough fluids to make .5 quarts of urine per day. This means you should drink about 14 cups of fluid (water is best) per day.

    * Do not eat more than 1,500 mg of salt per day (about 1 teaspoon). This includes salt in pre-packaged food. Check nutrition labels to see how much salt (sodium) is in your food.

    * Try not to eat more than 2 servings of meat per day. Each serving should be no more than 6 to 8 ounces.

If you have had more than one kidney stone, your doctor might send you to a specialist to find the exact cause of your stones. Some people need medicine to keep from getting another kidney stone.

Answer 3

Highly doubtful.

I never drink water and I'm probably twice his age and I never had that prob.

BUT, different people are prone to different ailments.

Answer 4

OMG (are you dead?)

Answer 5

there's water in the green tea but you are better off sticking with regular water. propell is a thirst quencher especially if you have been exercising and such. the fact of the matter is stay hydrated and you won't get stones.
