- Notes:
  > Fortunately, we can prevent both urinary tract infections and kidney stones by adopting healthier habits, including:
  > 
  > \*   Drinking more water to flush out more waste and keep stones from forming.
  > \*   Going to the bathroom if you need to, as holding your urine for too long can eventually cause infections.
  > \*   Avoiding foods that contain too much salt, which contributes to stone formation.
  > \*   Washing your intimate areas regularly to minimise bacteria buildup.
