6. Meat

Meat is a giant source of protein. Proteins which build out muscles’ health and are important for various growth processes. That’s great. But, not so much for kidneys. Apparently, metabolising them is one of the hardest things our kidneys do. Organ meat especially, like liver, put huge pressure on the kidneys. These kinds of meats contain loads of purine which stimulates the formation of uric acid. This acid is processed usually by kidneys only. And, if they are overwhelmed too much, you might end up with kidney stones. A diet which is rich with animal-based proteins also puts one at the risk of developing stones. That’s why it is generally advised for people with renal diseases to avoid high protein diets. And, for those who want to keep a healthy kidney for life should take these foods in a restraint manner.
