When we consume proteins more then required the calcium available in our blood and digestive system falls short and required calcium is leached from our bones to supplement. Calcium and magnesium in a specific proportion in our body gives us a good health. When this proportions are disturbed formation of calcium oxalates crystals take place. These crystals when accumulated at one place form kidney stones.
