Exercise and kidney stones

I have been told that if I exercise a lot I may develop kidney stones. Is this true?

In general, if you exercise a lot and do not replace the lost water, you are more prone to kidney stones. This is simply a result of dehydration. People who live in warm climates and sweat a lot generally are at a higher risk of developing kidney stones. So keep well hydrated. Please it makes no difference what you drink. Plain water is as good as any other beverage.
