Night Shifts Linked to Increased Kidney Stone Risk: Study

Imagine your body has a built-in clock that helps it do things like sleep and wake up.

This clock is called your circadian rhythm.

This study looked at people who work different hours than usual, like at night.

The study found that these people are more likely to get kidney stones, which are like little rocks that can hurt your kidneys.

Night shift workers had a higher chance than others.

The reason is that working at night messes with the body's clock and other healthy habits.

To stay healthy, experts say that night workers should drink lots of water, eat healthy foods, exercise, and make sure they sleep well during the day.
