1] Most important - add lemon to that water! Lemon aids in preventing/breaking up kidney stones
2] Eliminate/reduce salt intake - salt can increase calcium, one of the causes of stones
3] Modify protein intake - a great source of increased uric acid - big stimulator of stone formation
4] Eliminate/reduce soft drinks [especially caffeinated types] - tends to reduce the good citric acid
5] Eliminate/reduce caffeinated tea and coffee - same reason as soft drinks
