Keep Your Kidneys Healthy: 10 Foods to Avoid

 Dried Fruits and Fruit Juices

You can produce dry fruits by removing water from fruits. There are various methods of producing dry fruits. These methods usually produce dense fruits with high amounts of nutrients and energy. People with kidney disease and diabetes should reduce or avoid their consumption of fruits, because they contain high amounts of sugar and minerals such as potassium.

Experts advise people with kidney disease to stay away from fruit juices and other sugar-sweetened beverages. These drinks usually contain high levels of added sugar that can result in an increase in blood sugar level. Some fruit juices contain high levels of minerals, such as potassium. For example, 240 mL or orange juice contains 443 mg of potassium.
