Red Meat and Animal Protein Now, protein in and of itself can be a good thing. It can help us to build strong muscles and help us to heal faster. But if you have kidney disease, then you should stop eating excess red meat and animal protein 2. High Sodium Foods or High Salt Foods High blood pressure is the second leading cause of kidney disease. So if you have kidney disease and you're eating a lot of high-salt foods, then you will likely worsen your high blood pressure and worsen your kidney disease. 3. High Potassium Foods Now, potassium can be tricky, so I want you to please listen carefully. If you have an early stage of kidney disease or if you have a form of kidney disease where you're actually losing potassium, then taking in a normal amount of potassium may be healthy for you, about two to five grams a day. Be sure to consult your physician before making any dietary changes as far as potassium is concerned. 4. Processed and Pre-Packaged Foods What are processed and pre-packaged foods? Processed and packaged foods undergo manufacturing processes and come in pre-packaged containers for convenience and longer shelf life. 5. Sugary and Carbonated Drinks Please stop drinking sugary and carbonated drinks if you have kidney disease. When you are drinking sodas, they are loaded with added sugar. Just one 20-ounce bottle of soda can literally have as much as 65 grams of sugar! Remember, maintaining a balanced and kidney-friendly diet is crucial for your overall health. By avoiding these harmful foods, you can promote the longevity and well-being of your kidneys.
