Kidney-damaging foods
There are some foods that you should avoid so that kidney function remains optimal. Remember, your daily sodium intake should not be excessive.
Most foods that damage the kidneys are high in salt. If you can’t avoid it, at least reduce your intake of these foods to keep your body healthy. Here’s the list, launch Healthline.
1. Processed meat
Processed meat is often associated with chronic disease and is generally considered unhealthy because of the preservatives it contains.
Processed meat is meat that has been salted, dried, preserved, or canned. Some examples include hot dogs, bacon, pepperoni, beef jerky, and sausage.
Processed meats usually contain a lot of salt, most of which is used to enhance and maintain flavour.
2. Packaged, instant and ready-to-use food

Packaged, instant, and ready-to-eat foods are usually the most processed and contain the most sodium. Examples include frozen pizza to instant noodles.
3. Chips
Fast food snacks such as chips tend to lack nutrients and are relatively high in salt.
4. Canned food
Most canned foods contain high amounts of sodium, because salt is added as a preservative. People with kidney disease are often recommended to avoid or limit their consumption.
5. Wheat bread
Whole grain bread may be a more nutritious option, in large part because of its higher fiber content. However, white bread is usually recommended over whole grain varieties for individuals with kidney disease.
This is because of its phosphorus and potassium content. The more bran and whole grains in the bread, the higher the phosphorus and potassium content.
6. Dairy products

Dairy products are rich in various vitamins and nutrients. They are also a natural source of phosphorus, potassium, and a good source of protein.
For example, 1 cup of whole milk provides 222 mg of phosphorus and 349 mg of potassium. However, consuming too much milk, along with other phosphorus-rich foods, can impair bone health in those with kidney disease.
Dairy alternatives such as rice milk and almond milk are much lower in potassium, phosphorus, and protein than cow’s milk. This makes it a good substitute for milk when on a kidney diet.
7. Banana and avocado
You might think all kinds of fruit are healthy and can be consumed. Even by people who have kidney problems.
In fact, avocados and bananas should be reduced if you have kidney problems.
