The foods we eat have the potential to harm our kidneys, which are extremely vulnerable organs. The kidneys are responsible for filtering the blood and eliminating metabolic waste. However, although the kidneys are working to excrete these toxins, they themselves may be damaged in the process.
For this reason, doctors strongly advise avoiding foods that are known to damage kidneys. Even though they may seem innocuous at first glance, several of these meals provide a serious health risk that should be avoided by everyone who cares about their wellbeing. In this piece, I'd like to provide some information from Medical News Today regarding foods that are harmful to the kidneys.
1. Processed foods.
These foods are highly sought after because of their convenience and popularity. However, studies have revealed that many of these foods include unhealthy chemical preservatives and shockingly high levels of fat and salt. Pizza, noodles, chips, and bacon are just some of the processed items that you should limit or eliminate from your diet.
2 Milk and other dairy products (such as yoghurt)
Dairy products have been deemed potentially harmful to the kidneys, hence those with kidney issues have been advised to avoid them. The high potassium content of dairy products can be harmful if you previously suffer from renal disease.
3. High Phosphate foods.
People with kidney problems shouldn't eat foods with high levels of phosphate. Experts in medicine say people should watch how much of these items they eat. Phosphate, which is found in foods like beer, dark colas, bacon, and hot dogs, is harmful to the kidneys.
Alternate meal suggestions
Add additional dark leafy greens like kale, spinach, and chard to your diet, as well as fruit (apples, berries). Eat healthily all the time.
