The most harmful for the work of the kidneys are considered salt, phosphates and protein. 

“You don't need to abstain from meat, eggs, and cheese, but you should eat such food in moderate quantities. That is, if we eat a large steak for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it damages the kidneys. An excess of protein burdens them,” the doctor said.

On the air of “Radio 1”, she reported that it is enough for a person to eat up to 2 grams of salt per day, while the harmless norm is 5 grams. According to the specialist, if this norm is exceeded, the blood pressure in adults increases and the kidneys suffer.

The doctor also urged not to abuse pickles, sausage products, semi-finished products and fast food. As the doctor noted, the high content of phosphates in canned food can also affect the work of the kidneys.

For example, protein in large quantities will prevent the kidneys from “living up to 110 years,” the doctor said. She advised to eat protein-rich food, but only in moderate quantities.
