How are stones formed? This is what happens when stones are formed.

Gastric stones, bile duct stones, kidney stones and other diseases often occur in daily life, which makes people very confused. Why do so many stones appear in the human body? In fact, the causes of these stones are mostly related to personal living habits, so if you want to avoid the occurrence of stones, you must develop good living habits.

There are many types of stones in the human body, including: digestive system stones, such as stomach stones, gallstones, pancreatic stones, kidney stones and intestinal stones; respiratory system stones, such as lung stones and bronchial stones; and stones in the five sense organs, such as eye stones, nasal stones and dental stones. The causes of various stones are different, among which stones in the digestive system are the most common.

Digestive system stones are usually caused by excessive intake of stone-forming substances in the diet. Among them, the main reasons are excessive accumulation of oxalic acid (found in foods such as spinach, beans, grapes, cocoa, tea, oranges, tomatoes, potatoes, etc.), excessive intake of fat and protein (found in various meats), and abnormal purine metabolism (found in animal offal, seafood, peanuts, beans, spinach, etc.). These ingredients are commonly found in daily food. Over time, they will form insoluble calcium salts. Most of the calcium salts will be excreted from the body through the digestive and urinary systems, but a small amount will still remain in the body to form stones. Stones can be divided into five categories according to their composition, namely calcium oxalate stones (accounting for about 80% of stones), calcium phosphate stones, uric acid stones, magnesium ammonium phosphate stones and cystine stones. The presence of these stones in the body can easily affect the normal functioning of the human digestive system, block the urinary system, and seriously affect human health. The simplest preventive measure, in addition to paying attention to a proper diet, is to drink plenty of boiled water to dilute the components that form stones and allow them to be excreted from the body better.

In addition, the main causes of respiratory stones are air pollution and smoking, which cause the inhaled dust to adhere to and remain in the body. Stones in the facial features are mainly caused by a combination of internal secretions and external stimuli. As long as you pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain good living habits, these stones can be avoided.
