Vitamins and Minerals
It is important for our overall health and for our kidney function to have a healthy diet with plenty of whole foods and fresh vegetables and fruits. Many vitamin and mineral deficiencies, such as Vitamin D, C, and B6, can increase the risk for kidney stones or kidney failure. For example, magnesium and vitamin B6 are really important to reduce the risk of developing kidney stones.
Avocado
We always hear about avocados being nutritious and healthy, and how good they are for our hearts with their good fats, antioxidants, and fiber. However, people with kidney disease should steer clear of them since avocados are rich in potassium. Because of this, guacamole as well as avocados should be avoided by people who need to watch their potassium intake.
