The formation of kidney stones may be more related to genetics than diet, but a bad diet can make things worse. My son in law has been plagued by kidney stones since his teens. He also drinks a lot of Mountain Dew. Many other male relatives of his have had the same problem though not at such an early age.

My dad had a kidney stone ......and he had told me, it was the worst pain he had in his entire life. They say drinking a few glasses of water per day ......and going easy on the calcium supplements may help. I don't take any calcium , and I have a plastic water bottle in my car at all times , and I also drink water while I am walking!

My dad had gone to a chiropractor for Sciatic Pain , and the good Dr had told him supplements were ineffective and were merely urinated out of your body.
MY dad had taken supplements for may years and lived until 98!! The Chiropractor who had treated my dad was playing Santa Claus at an elementary school, and while sitting in a chair talking to the children.......... all of a sudden he fell back, ass over tea kettle and dropped dead right on the spot. DEAD in his early fifties.
So you could say my dad who had taken the supplements probably had the better idea! LOL

Be careful out there, friends. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/22/us...it_th_20131222. A (former) friend of mine was nuts about supplements and ended up in excruciating pain due to kidney stones. But he was crazy anyway. So it goes.

Food for the brain is important at any age , and especially important as we reach our senior years. These 9 foods garnered from the internet may well help you achieve a healthy brain.

Eat More of These 9 Foods for Brainpower

1. Curry

Curry contains turmeric, a spice that in turn contains the anti-inflammatory antioxidant curcumin. Curcumin is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier, which is one reason why it holds promise as a neuroprotective agent in a wide range of neurological disorders.

Research has shown that curcumin may help inhibit the accumulation of destructive beta amyloids in the brain of Alzheimer's patients, as well as break up existing plaques.1 Curcumin has even been shown to boost memory and stimulate the production of new brain cells, a process known as neurogenesis.

A word to the wise… some curry powders may contain very little curcumin compared to straight turmeric powder, so choose the latter for the best health benefits.

2. Celery

Celery is a rich source of luteolin, a plant compounds that may calm inflammation in your brain, which is a primary cause of neurodegeneration. Luteolin has also been linked with lower rates of age-related memory loss in mice.2 In addition to celery, peppers and carrots are also good sources of luteolin.

3. Broccoli and Cauliflower

Broccoli and cauliflower are good sources of choline, a B vitamin known for its role in brain development. Choline intake during pregnancy "super-charged" the brain activity of animals in utero, indicating that it may boost cognitive function, improve learning and memory,

It may even diminish age-related memory decline and your brain's vulnerability to toxins during childhood, as well as conferring protection later in life.3 Eggs and meat are among the best food sources of choline.

4. Walnuts

Walnuts are good sources of plant-based omega-3 fats, natural phytosterols and antioxidants, and have been shown to reverse brain aging in older rats. DHA, in particular, is a type of omega-3 fat that’s been found to boost brain function and even promote brain healing, although it’s more plentiful in animal-based omega-3 sources, like krill, as opposed to walnuts.

5. Crab

One serving of crab contains more than your entire daily requirement of phenylalanine, an amino acid that helps make the neurotransmitter dopamine, brain-stimulating adrenaline and noradrenaline and thyroid hormone, and may help fight Parkinson’s disease. Crab is also an excellent source of brain-boosting vitamin B12.

6. Garbanzo Beans (Chickpeas)

Garbanzo beans are one of the best food sources of magnesium (aside from kelp and green leafy vegetables). Magnesium benefits brain cell receptors to speed the transmission of messages, while also relaxing blood vessels, which allows more blood flow to the brain.

7. Red Meat

Red meat like grass-fed beef is an excellent source of vitamin B12, which is vital for healthy brain function. People with high levels of markers for vitamin B12 deficiency are more likely to score lower on cognitive tests, as well as have a smaller total brain volume, which suggests a lack of the vitamin may lead to brain shrinkage.4

8. Blueberries

The antioxidants and other phytochemicals in blueberries have been linked to improvements in learning, thinking and memory, along with reductions in neurodegenerative oxidative stress. They’re also relatively low in fructose compared to other fruits, making them one of the healthier fruits available.

9. Healthy Fats

Beneficial health-promoting fats that your body—and your brain in particular—needs for optimal function include organic butter from raw milk, clarified butter called organic grass fed raw butter, olives, organic virgin olive oil and coconut oil, nuts like pecans and macadamia, free-range eggs, wild Alaskan salmon, and avocado, for example.

ALZHEIMERS AND ROSEMARY!

Rosemary contains 5 compounds that seem to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that's deficient in patients with Alzheimers. Dr James A. Duke author of numerous books believes that eating Rosemary can reduce one's risk of developing Alzheimer's. Rosemary can be added to all sorts of recipes , including fish and chicken. A company called Botanic Choice sells both Tinctures of Rosemary that can be added to drinks , and capsules of Rosemary both at very reasonable prices!
