There is an aundance o! evidence

that proves one maFor cause o!

'idney stones is dehydration. G!ten"

'idney stone su!!erers live in the

South region o! the 3nited States

where the weather gets hot and

humid. These conditions lead people

to lose more water than they ta'e in and the 'idneys are

a!!ected negatively when this happens. It is very important

that you drin' at least H !ull glasses o! water every day.

A good guideline is -7 ounces o! water every two hours that

you are awa'e. Also" there is even more encouraging

ene!its to your health when the water you drin' is distilled.

turned into steam so its impurities are le!t ehind. The
