    Drinking lemonade often can prevent the appearance of kidney stones. Lemon water contains a large amount of citrate, which can inhibit calcium salt crystals, thereby preventing the formation of kidney stones, and can even reduce or reduce the stones of some patients with chronic kidney stones. Research results published at the annual meeting of the American Urological Association also show that regular drinking of lemon juice-containing beverages can increase the level of citrate in the urine. This chemical can prevent the formation of crystals, or kidney stones, in the kidney by minerals in the urine.
