A doctor warned Russians that some foods can kill our kidneys.
Moreover, we are talking not only about obviously harmful things, but even bananas.
Mikhail Eliseev, a nephrologist at SM-Clinic, shared this warning with Gazeta.Ru correspondents.
He reminded that the kidneys are the main filtering organs of our body. Therefore, the occurrence of chronic diseases is directly affected by what we eat.
First of all, salty foods are deadly for the kidneys, since excess sodium forces the kidneys to work harder.
Alcohol also kills the kidneys, since the toxic substances it contains are removed from the body by the kidneys.
Frequent consumption of meat and dairy products can cause kidney stones. Meat is harder to digest than plant foods, and calcium contained in milk and its derivatives can trigger urolithiasis.
The doctor also warned about the harm of excess bananas and avocados. The excess potassium they contain is also excreted from the body by the kidneys, and this load is comparable to excess sodium.
Earlier, a nutritionist named the most dangerous product for the liver.
