What we eat and drink daily directly affects every part of our body, especially our kidneys. Some common foods we overeat without thinking in our daily lives gradually damage the kidneys. So, let's see which 6 foods put our kidneys at risk.

Too Much Salt
Eating too much salt increases blood pressure, directly impacting kidney health. High blood pressure weakens the kidneys' filtering ability. Avoid processed foods, use less salt, and try lemon as an alternative.
37
Too Much Sugar
Sugar increases the risk of diabetes, a major cause of kidney failure. Avoid sugary drinks, sweets, and baked goods. Choose natural fruits instead.
47
Processed Foods
Processed foods are high in salt, preservatives, and chemicals, overloading the kidneys. Prioritize fresh, home-cooked meals. Always read food labels.
57
Red Meat
Red meat's high protein content stresses the kidneys and can raise uric acid levels. Limit red meat to once or twice a week. Choose lighter protein sources like lentils, eggs, or chicken.

Junk Food and Deep-Fried Items
High in sodium, trans fats, and low in nutrients, these contribute to obesity and high blood pressure, both dangerous for kidneys. Homemade snacks or fruits and vegetables are better choices.

Excessive Painkillers
Frequent painkiller use affects kidney blood flow, gradually reducing their function. Avoid habitual painkiller use; explore alternatives like yoga or Ayurveda for pain management.
