Named products that can harm the health of human kidneys

Some common foods can negatively affect kidney health. The latter are important for the correct functioning of the body, doctors warned.

In particular, the kidneys help remove waste from the body, produce hormones, and cleanse the blood of toxins and excess fluid. Some products can slow down the work of the organ or cause its destruction. First of all, you need to approach salt with caution, as it leads to "wearing out" of the kidneys in excessively large quantities.

A lot of sodium is usually found in processed or packaged foods, for example, frozen vegetables, salad dressings, etc. It is better to abandon convenience foods and ready meals, preferring natural spices.

Red meat should be present in the diet in limited quantities. Proteins of animal origin are absorbed by the body for a long time, against the background of which there is an additional load on the kidneys.

It becomes more difficult for the body to efficiently remove waste products. In the case of milk, the main concern is phosphorus. If it is too much, the kidneys face additional stress, which affects their performance.

If you already have kidney problems, you should be more careful when eating bananas, as they contain a lot of potassium. The latter is not removed from the blood, against the background of which it can pose a danger to the body. For the same reason, oranges and fresh orange juice should not be abused.
