Being overweight or obese can increase the risk of kidney stones. Excess weight can lead to metabolic changes in the body that increase the risk of kidney stones.

To reduce the risk of kidney stones, it’s important to maintain a healthy weight through a combination of diet and exercise. A diet that is low in calories and high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein sources can help promote weight loss and reduce the risk of kidney stones.
