Avoid products that have extra salt content
Did you know if we actually consume sodium or salt more than we need every day? It is true that salt can make food tasty but it can be bad for patients with kidney failure, especially if we also consume foods that are already rich in additional salt content such as junk food, canned vegetables, cheese, processed meat and canned soup. Avoid these foods for the health of the body.

Choose foods that are low in potassium
People with kidney failure are recommended to consume foods that have low potassium content like apples, green beans, carrots, grapes, strawberries and cabbages. On the other hand, foods rich in potassium content like oranges, spinach, tomatoes and potatoes should not be consumed.
