Canned Foods
Typical canned foods like soups and beans are usually bought because they’re cheap and convenient. However, most canned foods have high amounts of sodium since salt is added to preserve the product for longer. As a result, it’s often recommended that people with kidney disease avoid or limit their consumption of canned foods. Choosing foods with less sodium or even with no salt is usually best. Another way to reduce salt in these items is by draining foods like canned beans and tuna – this decreases the amount of sodium by 33-80% depending on the product.

Whole-Wheat Bread
Choosing the right bread for people with kidney disease can be somewhat confusing. A lot of the time, whole wheat bread is recommended over refined, white flour bread. While it is a healthier option thanks to its higher fiber content, white bread os usually recommended for people with kidney disease. The reason for this is because whole wheat bread has a lot of phosphorus and potassium. The more bran and whole grains in the bread, the higher those contents are. Either way, most breads contain high amounts of sodium – whole wheat or not.
