6 of the Worst Foods For Your Kidneys

1. Salt

Table salt is about 40% sodium and contains bleaching agents and dextrose. A high salt diet alters the sodium balance, causing the kidneys to have reduced function and remove less water resulting in higher blood pressure. This puts a massive strain on the kidneys and can lead to kidney disease. Moreover, a diet high in salt has been shown to increase the amount of protein in the urine which is a major risk factor for the decline of kidney function. To keep your kidneys healthy make sure you consume no more than 6g of salt every day.
