Alert: Avoid These 3 Foods If You Have Kidney Problems

EDITOR’S PICK:

The shape of our kidneys looks like the shape of beans, and beans are one of the healthiest foods for our kidneys. Our kidneys operate to regulate a balance between water and minerals, filter our blood, and get rid of toxins through the urine.

We must adequately care for our kidneys because they are susceptible to various disorders. If you’ve had renal difficulties in the past, you can’t just eat anything you see. All of the items you should avoid are associated with hypertension and diabetes.

Damaged kidneys mean toxins will accumulate in the body and there won’t be a balance between minerals and water in the body. The body will swell up and the person might die.

In this article on EKO HOT BLOG we would be looking at some foods you should avoid if you suffer any kidney disease.

1. Bananas

Avoid eating bananas because they’re very high in potassium. Those treating kidney disease are usually advised to limit their potassium intake. One banana can give you about 422 MG of potassium, so it’s best to avoid it.

2. Wheat bread

If you have renal illness, you must be cautious about the bread you consume. Even though whole wheat bread is good for you, avoid it. If you must consume bread, choose white bread over whole wheat bread.

Whole wheat bread contains a lot of potassium and phosphorus. Because white bread includes salt, you should limit your consumption.

3. Avocados

If you are suffering from any kind of kidney disease, you need to avoid avocados. They are healthy for a normal person without any kidney impairment.

They are, however, quite high in potassium, and an excess of it is not good for individuals with renal illness, especially if you have been told to avoid too much potassium.
