A sedentary lifestyle can contribute to the formation of kidney stones. When you’re inactive, your bones release more calcium into your bloodstream, which can lead to higher levels of calcium in your urine. This increased calcium concentration raises the risk of developing calcium-based kidney stones.

Engaging in regular physical activity can help prevent kidney stones by promoting healthy blood circulation and maintaining bone strength. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise per week to support overall health and kidney function.
