Nutrition foods to avoid with kidney disease
Dark-colored soda
In addition to the calories and sugar that sodas provide, they harbor additives that contain phosphorus, especially dark-colored sodas.
Avocados
Avocados are often touted for their many nutritious qualities, including their heart-healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants.
Canned foods
Canned foods such as soups, vegetables, and beans are often purchased because of their low cost and convenience.
Whole wheat bread
Often for healthy individuals, whole wheat bread is usually recommended over refined, white flour bread.
Brown rice
Like whole wheat bread, brown rice is a whole grain that has a higher potassium and phosphorus content than its white rice counterpart.
Bananas
If you have been instructed to limit your potassium intake, it may be difficult to do so if a banana is a daily staple.
orange juice
While oranges and orange juice are arguably most well known for their vitamin C content, they’re also rich sources of potassium.
Processed meats
Processed meats have long been associated with chronic diseases and are generally considered unhealthy due to their preservative contents.
Apricots
Apricots are rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, and fiber.
They’re also high in potassium. One cup of fresh apricots provides 427 mg of potassium.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes are another high potassium fruit that may not fit the guidelines of a renal diet.
They can be served raw or stewed and are often used to make sauces.
