Some people may like salty foods. They will add quite a lot of salt to their cooking or end up often eating salty snacks such as snacks or potato chips.
In fact, this eating habit can threaten kidney health because it not only produces excess sodium load, but also causes hypertension.
Therefore, it is recommended by Dr Shri Ram Kabra to start reducing foods that are too salty and focus on fresh foods that are low in sodium. You can start eating foods such as cauliflower, blueberries, seafood, and whole wheat or whole grains.
